Now that Crush is Out... · 1:28am Jul 8th, 2014
First off, I (again) thank everyone that has put up with the eternal delay for Brayside Crush. Reception is about where I had expected given it's the off-season; decent but not great reception with an average number of views. I'll take it because I'm really doing those that have been banging on my door about finishing off this series. You know who you are.
In case you were wondering, the bump in rating to Teen doesn't mean a major shift in story material. Long story short, the current versions of Return to Flight and Top Wings would not pass moderation as Everyone anymore. Both will get up-rated anyways but realistically, I try to keep everything at around the PG level.
As of this post, I have started Chapter 7 of Crush which is where the scene that's in the cover image occurs. I don't know how much more story there will be after that point but this may end up being the longest fic I've written, even more than the revised version of Return to Flight. Having said that, I do have to personally edit the earlier chapters before I can release them and I want to give myself enough cushion. The intent is to have Chapter 2 and 3 out by the end of September since those introduce most of the major characters. If all else fails, at least Chapter 2.
In the meantime, I'll attempt to keep my Return to Flight comic series going through the end of the year. Not required reading, btw, but it's always nice to have images to go with the writing.
