Snippet from Dragon-Moon Chapter 5

Beware þe frumious Cliffhanger, child!
When it shuns its home in þe brillig wilds
They sayeth þe ulfish beast seeks its prey
In momsey hamlets and homes whence ponies stay

As it grabes its mansome claws ‘cross þe land
In its guntish corse it gathers plunder liketh an avalanche
Each and ev’ry devilous item a ‘Plot Device’
Rothsome instruments to warp fate to its victim’s demise

True to its tulgey namesake
Ethereal while ev’rypony’s awake
It spins tales tense and frabjous on a whim
That history itself might danceth about its victim

And when its unwitting prey reaches þe final curtain
T’is not a Happily Ev’r After he will findeth, that is f’r certain…

So, what's going on? Well, I've finally finished moving and settling into my new job. I've been spending most of this weekend working on my new home, but I've had some time to work on the story. I am hoping to have the entire story wrapped up in two to three weeks. Allowing time for the editors to work their magic, I expect everything should be complete by early next month.

While I originally planned to publish everything once the story's complete, I might just release chapter 5 ahead of the others if I can finish it this weekend. That doesn't mean it'll be released this weekend though as I need to beg the editors to work their magic and that will almost certainly take a few more days. We can't rush their awesome after all. No promises yet, but watch this space. I'll let you know when it goes to the editors.

Glad to hear the move went well and your job is too.

And you're in luck! I am actually on a paid vacation right now (to celebrate my birthday next Monday), so I have plenty of time to help edit!... well, once I get my mother's laptop while she is out of town; my laptop's hard drive went t!ts up this morning and won't be fixed for a few weeks as I gotta wait on the service folks to ship out the box so I can ship it to their repair center. (on a plus note, it was still under warranty so I don't gotta pay squat!)

Anyways, hope to here from ya soon, me amigo!

But I like cliffhangers. If you've ever read anything of mine, you'll agree. You'll probably also want to jab me viciously with a fork.

Looking forward to more! One of my favourite stories on this site.
