    Coping of a Former Human Removed (Deleted)

    Today, I have removed the "A Deer Named John" companion piece "Coping of a Former Human" from my published stories list. I've been considering this action for a long time (years) and have finally made the move. The reason being that it doesn't easily fit with what I have planned moving forward with its group of stories. Those stories I still want to write, just they now no longer have the weight

    State of the next chapter

    Have spent part of this week nibbling away at what could be considered the cold opening of the next chapter, which wasn't originally planned for. The fun of adjusting the end of the previous chapter. Reviewed the overall notes as well and am currently dealing with an issue which would have become a plot hole in about eight or ten chapters time so doing best to plug it before that can happen.

    It is finally here!

    It is here. It is FINALLY here! Approximately two years from the date I was originally aiming for and on a date I otherwise wouldn't have but the distraction is very welcome. The new chapter is finally out of my hands!

    As the author's notes say at the end of the chapter:

    Finally!

    The draft for the next chapter, current title (MA2-C3) City Search, is finally complete. It still needs a little tidying up but, so long as major changes don't need to happen, it shouldn't be long until it is posted. If major changes do need to happen, I will post an update. The title may still change if I come up with something better before it is posted.

Some of the jokes pointed out in John · 4:37am Jan 10th, 2020

I'm going to be slightly kind and reveal a few of the jokes in John so far. These are the chapter title jokes as well as the song joke in the chapter Wake Up Call. The one in Spot of Tea, Change for Me is actually a plot point in one of the upcoming side arc chapters so I think you can wait to hit me for that one later. Without further ado:

Run John Run - Reference to the movie Run Lola Run.
Master of the House - Reference to the song in Les Miserables.
Time for Tea! - From a short series of sketches from Loading Ready Run about a west country version of the Doctor from Doctor Who. "Time for tea!" is that Doctor's catch phrase. (I can't give the link to the sketches themselves because of what all of the group's short sketches are called. Sorry.)
The Life of Boo - Either Life of Brian or the Secret Life of Pets (you decide).

From Wake Up Call:

I turned my head to try and see who was speaking, only to find that I was in the cage with a deer. I squinted at the form. A doe. Stubby horns? Full grown deer, I reckon. Tapered, slender body. Hmm, probably still a female deer.

I know, should be A deer. Just didn't work right in the structure.

I hope you are all suitably disappointed in me.

Tael.
