Children of the First

So we have another guest piece for you! This time it's a bit of fanart from Dawn (also known as Tigerkytti). She's a Super Ninja by day, and a rockstar/artist/writer/poet/blacksmith(maybe?) by night. You should all check out her deviantART and The Dreams of Insanity for her wordings.
...maybe she'll do more pictures if you do, who can tell with that crazy cat?
(Get it? Man, I'm funny...)

So, here she is:

Fera "Feral" Ignus

Thanks Dawn!

I pasted a copy of the hiatus announcement post into the forums over at the WFG, and the lovely
Kyt Dotson was kind enough to send me a short piece from her story, Mill Avenue Vexations. It's pretty cool, even out of context (maybe especially out of context--woo, ambiguity!), and hopefully it'll tide you over at least until chapter 10.  While you wait for me to get my act together, why not saunter over to Mill Avenue Vexations, or to the Web Fiction Guide for bunches of other stuff.

Children of the First was just reviewed over at The Web Fiction Guide, which is one of the best (if not the best, since Pages Unbound is out of the running) communities of web fiction readers and writers. Chris Poirier, one of the WFG Editors and author of Winter Rain, gave CotF 3.5 stars in his review, Children of the First: a fun little romp, and I think that's pretty decent for nine chapters in. The review was very well written and I tended to agree with Chris's criticism, though I have the benefit of knowing that certain things are going to change as the story progresses. Chapter 10 is getting closer every minute (well, not this one), and I'll have it up as soon as possible (it's gonna end up being looong). For now though, we'll have the first guest piece.
