“What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.” ― William Lamb Melbourne
I've been not very active since last month, but Shrink has been: Free Moon
The thousand-word story is a difficult format, hard to start and finish a story without it simply being an idea, or a feeling. Getting both in that straitjacket is a challenge.
Shrink Laureate finished his contribution to that crackship contest: The Best and The Worst
Of course I'd have a soft spot for it, it's a Gilda story.
But it's also a Zephyr Breeze story.
Yeah...
So, after more than three years, I've finally put The Princess's Bit to bed. It's now complete. It ended up becoming my second-longest story, but the biggest problem was that I lost my drive to write for over a year. Part of that was losing my long-time job, and part of it was a medical issue, but most of it was just... me.
First one in my particular knitting circle in quite a while, actually. It's a fun little piece.
Honestly, my interest in Gen5 is pretty minimal, but hell, it's Shrink and the Bingo Juggernaut. why not?
It turns out, I was wavering between two capitalization schemes for my chapter titles, and I decided this morning to fix on one single standard, however wrong it might be.
Also, found a continuity error I just committed in the most recent chapter - addressed, lamely. Oh, well.

What standard are you following? It doesn’t look like either of the two I am most familiar with.
A silly pseudo -Victorian conceit where all words in a title are capitalized - except the connective-tissue 'or' for alternative titles, such as The Parable Of Sowers, or, I Shall Make You Fishers Of Ponies.
And yes, last chapter was perilously close to getting named that. My angry, imaginary Muse read out to me a literal twelve-minute sermon on the subject of the Parable yesterday in frustration at my censorship of her ideas. I'm not a believer, but my Muse is quite vehemently orthodox on the subject of that good old time religion. Up to and including the whole pagan notion of muses itself.
Anyways, the point isn't which arbitrary standard you use, just that there is one. And I was meandering between not capitalizing articles and so forth, and intermittently doing so.
But, no, I'm not suddenly embracing Strunk and White or The Chicago Manual of Style.
