Back in July, Estee made this blog post(with hilarious results) and it's been bugging me ever since - especially since I'd actually started to write something with the title Admiral Biscuit, but Firefox crashed and took my text with it. Now I've found my writing ability again, I tried once more and it got of hoof and turned into a three page thing. If you're so inclined:

Hi everyone,

I had hoped I'd be spared my usual late spring dive into depression since it had been looking rather good this year. But alas, it happened (even if it wasn't so bad this time around).

I have a new favourite waste of time:

It's all nice and shiny, pleasing to the eyes, with a proper map and the usual solid editing. Special thanks to Doppler Effect here for a lot of good ideas in addition to all the ideas from the comments I incorporated.

Had fun with something else as well: soundscaping.

From time to time I need to remind myself that Northland's South Ronaldsays are, in fact, real Icelandic horses.
As they again will be important in the coming chapter, I was pleased to come across Faoileag and Buidhe while browsing horse pictures.

First up is Chieftain Faoileag.

Progress.
Chapter 19 is being written and for some strange reason a later chapter has already been finished.
Prologue and chapter 1-3 are now edited, revised and, where applicable, rewritten. Turned out very nice.

And the reason for this post of course.

Chieftain Dawn Horizon, gazing out over the western sea cliffs.

Hi all. Just received a piece of fanart. That's a first!
Now all of the cast has been depicted, even if Sandra only partly.
Or in parts, as it were. Guess it's a food-shot.
Fiona looks great.

Thanks a million to ierf!
