"Echoes" by Melanie Ezell

I'm 2/3 of the way through the rewrite of Oh Cheers, and lost all of the rewritten "Princess for Hire" in my computer death last year, though I still intend to at least do a solid clean-up on it, then both of them will be going through Doppler if I have my way.

"Boys of Summer" is a concept I might come back to eventually . . . but it's far on the backburner at the moment. Too many other stories I want to write that, honestly, mean more to the person I am now than "Boys of Summer" ever could.

Here I was, happy to have found a brand-new reading list and there was my name! Quite a surprise, so thanks, Wendy.

I do have one more Marcie story. I've got notes and all that... so some day, yes. Maybe I can build up a little momentum by going through my old stuff.

Thanks for thinking of me, and thanks to all for pointing out the great, unfinished works here at BCTS!

Hugs,

Somewhere Else Entirely, as a tale, is officially complete. However, Garia's tale is not.

The long term plan: The Tales of Anmar has turned into a trilogy (without my say-so!), with an additional side-tale which parallels those three parts. Somewhere Else Entirely was the first part and The Voyage of the Visund is the second.

Basically, VotV is what happens to some major characters in the year when Garia is off-world. This also gives me the chance to describe some of the developments that happen in the Great Valley during that period.

If I survive long enough, then the intention is there to write Return to Anmar, which of course chronicles what happens when Garia gets back. There is already more material than I expected accumulating in a folder here, ready to be woven into that third part. Expect some surprises!

That additional side tale? That would be What Milsy Did, which I originally conceived as a means of providing more information about the palace and developments in Palarand while Garia was in the north - and subsequently. I have since realised that Milsy in fact is much more important to Anmar than I originally thought. Her story, should I actually finish it, will cover the whole three years of the original trilogy, although I may be forced to split it into more than one story.

There is also Julina of Blackstone, whose story also closely interweaves with all of the above. Progress on that, sadly depends on progress of my own tales which at the moment makes a snail look like a rocket.

However, everything is still moving on, albeit slowly, and you should expect to see more chapters of various tales appearing Real Soon Now.

I really hope that Domoviye continues Doom Valley Prep School.
