Ugh. I have nothing to say but HURGLRBGURLGBRGB.
Thanks for reading, guys. Couldn't do it without you. Well, I guess I could still write it... but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? Seriously though, you guys rock.

Archive for the Chapters CategoryUgh. I have nothing to say but HURGLRBGURLGBRGB. Thanks for reading, guys. Couldn't do it without you. Well, I guess I could still write it... but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? Seriously though, you guys rock. (more...) Okay, here's the new chapter. Sorry it's a little late. Just a reminder about the schedule: it's now one chapter a week, though that may be more like week and a half, depending on how school's going at the time. Rest assured though, there will be regular updates. CotF and I aren't going anywhere. (more...) Sorry for the short chapter; I've been running on empty and out of time, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. (more...)

Chapter 12: Teddy Bears Have Boring PicnicsPosted by: Alex McG in Chapters, CotF Main StorySo I was working on this chapter, and it just wasn't turning out anything that really wowed me. I didn't want to change the whole thing since it's one of Shawn's first classes and will be rather important down the line; plus my carpel tunnel is flaring up, so a rewrite tonight was out of the question. (Sure, I revised like I always do, but there's no way I was starting over and wrecking my wrist). So instead, I did something a little different: I used a couple pictures inserted into the chapter text (okay, technically it was a few since a couple is two, but only my brother would care about that. So get off my back, Michael). This isn't something I plan to do all the time, or even often, but I think this chapter benefits from it so I gave it a shot.
On a related note, you know that I always love to get comments, but I'd like to make a special request for your opinions on this chapter. Many much comments for me please! I altered my writing process a bit this time and the content is quite different, so some feedback would be really helpful and much appreciated. (more...)

Chapter 11: And Then the World Started to HurtPosted by: Alex McG in Chapters, CotF Main Story
HIATUS ENDED So I have a job, a place to live, and my class schedule has been worked out for the most part, so I am officially ending the hiatus. Thanks for bearing with me during the madness. On a different note, the Web Fiction Guide is still growing, and I'm still giving bonus story credit for reviews. It's a great free way to support the site, and every review at the WFG is a step toward building a stronger webfiction community, so check it out if you're so inclined. I'd certainly appreciate it. The donation goal has been reached, and a bonus story is in the works, but I had a choice whether to write a new chapter or the bonus and I left it up to the generous individual who reached the goal. He said chapter, so chapter it is. Final note: THIS CHAPTER CONTINUES STRAIGHT FROM CHAPTER TEN AND WILL NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE WITHOUT IT. Thanks for reading. You guys rock.
(more...) So here's chapter ten! It's a long one. (more...)

Chapter 9: Over the River and Through the WoodsPosted by: Alex McG in Chapters, CotF Main StoryHere's the new chapter. There will probably be some bonus stuff between now and the next chapter, which will go up Monday at the latest, depending on whether I get a job by then. (more...) Okay, here's the new chapter. I don't know when the next one will be, but I'm going to try to get a little writing done tonight, since I'll be up. I woke up at 8pm today and have to reset my sleep schedule, so that's fun. I also have to find another job this week (see Donation Beg), so that may forestall the next chapter. We shall see. (more...) New chapter up before my battery dies, alright! (more...) So here's the new chapter, finally. It turns out that most of what I had planned for it didn't even come up; this one had a mind of it's own and I'm really happy how it turned out. It ended up being pretty tricky to write, demanding a lot of revision and whatnot, but it was worth it. The guest chapter(s?) is/are still in the works, but it should be pretty cool. The next chapter should be up some time around Saturday, barring unforeseen California Craziness. Thanks for bearing with me as things go wonky. (more...) |
