Audience Rating: 

Organizational: 

"The students from outside the mask community are a small but rapidly growing part of our campus," Eve added, nodding in turn. "The school wasn't really intended for them, though. Some of them never really fit in, there, since they weren't interested in becoming masks. They - or their parents - just wanted training in how to use their powers; not how to fight crime, wear a costume or maintain a private identity."

An apology is in order

Submitted by on

Author: 

Well, I owe everybody an apology.

Well, actually a couple of apologies.

The first is for inflicting on you all another chapter of Luck be a Lady, starring Fluke.

The second, for anybody who likes this stuff, for how short the chapter is.

The reason is due to a pun at the end of the chapter, which I am also apologizing for ...

“Go wake up Donna,” I told the Turbo Toddler. “Dad, too,” I added.
“Ogay!” she agreed and sped off toward the bedrooms, squealing about ‘hopgakes!’
"That’ll keep her busy for a few,” I told Mom.
“But not quiet,” she mentioned as we could hear the uproar down the hallway.

Thanks, Erin, for giving me so many laughs by letting this bundle of energy appearing in your story!

Opening Doors

Blog About: 

Author: 

That, folks, was the end of 'Closing Doors', as the last sentence carries a huge amount of freight for those who know the full extent of Mike's story. I feel it wraps up the story arc neatly, and didn't want to over-egg things. As I explained in a comment, it is the reason I chose Diane as the narrative voice, so as to bring neutrality to events that will have left Mike incoherent.

EAT SUMMER.jpg

Hi everyone! For you hardy souls following the Kern saga, I know the story gets pretty involved, and there are a fair number of characters, both major and minor. What with the story being posted over the course of half a year, I imagine it’s easy to forget who’s who and how they are related. So I thought at this point it might help to post my notes on Carmen’s family tree as of the summer of 2024, when the story takes place.

Appendix


Alex had a terminal Cancer diagnosis and thought she would die before she got to be the girl she always was inside. That all changes when she's in the wrong place at the right time and gets transported to another world and into the body of a girl. So what if she's not human, she's alive and a girl. Now if only she had her sister with her to navigate this new world and her new responsibilities. Wait, she's here too? The passage of their souls between worlds may have doomed the Earth to apocalypse, but Alex and Michelle won't be there to see it and they have enough problems on their hands.

... that I am running Angharad's EAFOAB for her until she can recover. Maybe something will spark some divine interest in her to recover her ability to write it. It will take a love within herself, a love for her characters, and a desire for action packed drama again :) If I get past the current serial arc from episode 1240 through 1255, Ill insert more action packed serials.

I am trying at least while I am waiting.
