Upcoming Story Alert: A Solid Foundation · 11:14pm Jun 12th, 2022
So I haven't posted anything since August 6th. How have you all been?
Me? Oh, I quit teaching. That was a thing that I'll probably talk about at some point. I also got into a relationship, broke up, got into a different relationship, broke up, and got into a relationship again. I probably won't talk about that. It's been a thingTM though, as you can tell. Still, that's not really the thing this blog post is about. The point is I finally...finally finished that story I was writing.
Mind if I talk about it?
This story is a sequel to Secondhand Laughter (which in itself is a sequel to The Opening Act, which in turn is a sequel to Under Her Spell with a bunch of other stories in between). It is titled A Solid Foundation and focuses on Maud Pie, coming home from graduate school for winter break. Things are changing in her life, you see, and this trip allows her to relax in a place where nothing changes while surrounded by a family who always sticks together.
Or it was. Funny how things don't always stay the way you remember them, isn't it?
The Pie family features front and center, along with Trixie, Caramel, and few other familiar faces from the Who We Become series—all of which were a blast to write. Not only that, but I get to expand on some events from previous stories with Krickis' blessing, specifically Thicker Than Water. All things considered, I'm very happy with what I managed to do in this fic.
It comes out on Friday and will release another chapter on Saturday and two chapters on Sunday.
I hope you are able to join me for it.

It's finally gonna be time!!!
Oh-ho, what's this? The prep is back? I don't know this series of stories, but I may just have to change that.
👀 Looks like I have a lot of catching up reading to do

You read my Looking Glass fic (and the short follow-up story to that) and reviewed it pretty highly, that's the start of this series. If you're interested in giving it a further read, Prep's Under Her Spell is actually the next story in the series that you haven't dug into yet! You can see the full chronology here, most of it is written by me, with this being the fourth story by thedarkprep (all four of which are part of the official canon)

I hadn't intended to delve into the side stories, mostly because doing so would mean it would take a lot longer to get to the main material and I'm very interested in getting to Playing House. But thedarkprep has garnered my curiosity, so I've added Under Her Spell to my lists.

Jeez, I leave you all unsupervised for a few minutes and now I'm on the Stalked Author's folder?
I swear, I can't take either of you anywhere.
I'm glad I garnered your interest though! I am curious as to what you think, whenever you eventually get to it.

Don't take it personally. I stalk a lot of authors.
