At last I got the next chapter of Maiden finished, and it's waiting to be posted at the site I always give precedence to with this story. Once it's posted there, I'll be putting it up here.

Also, to all of you who either nominated Deirdre and the story in the Terry Awards, or voted/will vote for them, thank you.

Deirdre is still up to her usual mischief, being a trouble magnet, and comes to a realization that she just can't and won't avoid in the next chapter. Having said that, I'll let you wonder about things for a while here. ;)

Be well, everyone.
