Chapter 10 of Witches posted!
Chapter 10, “Opening Salvo” is posted: “What brings you to my world, little bug?” the colorful woman asked Hardi and Robert. Her glance flitted between both of them before settling on Hardi. “Well?” she cooed, head tilting. Her accent was much lighter than Lucia’s. Hardi straightened in her seat. “We’re looking for the people who have been attacking your world.” She paused briefly as six guards entered and took up positions in the corners and framing the door. “Are you hiding them here?” Not much longer on Witches–just a few more chapters. I’ll probably spend some time with my lovely arties before starting another close-ended piece like Witches. I miss…

“Pursuit” posted and character sheet news
Chapter 9 of Witches, “Pursuit” is live. Actually, it went live yesterday, I just neglected to post here for it. I was busy having my ass handed to me by some type of hydra. Damn D & D 4e hydras. It had seven heads by the end. “But how do we get you out of here without anyone noticing?” Robert asked absently. Satisfied that her hand was fine, he pulled his hands back out of the attached gloves. Hardi tamped down a grin of victory. “Nice and easy. You’re going to create a distraction, and we’re going to slip out.” A small smile played on his lips as he asked,…

“Observation” posted!
Chapter 8 of The Witches of Ming Ung, “Observation” is up, and picks up right where “Interception” left off: “Hardi, why in all the worlds wouldn’t we tell Wilder about this?” Robert asked, waving a hand at her comm. He’d just listened to the ransom note for the second time, and was sitting at the desk with his feet propped up. “Yet. Not tell him yet.” Hardi stood still in the middle of the room, staring at the floor with her hands tucked in her pockets. “And I… don’t know,” she said slowly. After that deep voice had threatened to go on “vacation” for a week, Hardi had listened to…

New Witches Story: “Interception”
Part seven of The Witches of Ming Ung: “Interception” Here’s a snippet: “Yeah, sure,” Markos said. “When are you coming home?” he whined. “This place is all big and lonely without you.” “Markos, it took forever just getting here,” she said. “We’re just getting into the swing of things. It could be a while before I’m set to go.” Markos’s pout became a frown and Hardi realized she’d protested too much. His chuckle was forced as he said, “You sure you aren’t enjoying the sights while you’re out there?” Hardi’s smile was weak. “Well, it is a lovely planet.” As I mentioned earlier this week, from here until Witches is…

New TC story: “White Hat”
Happy Saturday! I have a new Transhuman Congress story, “White Hat” posted, in which a hopefully-suspiciously-familiar character is introduced. It directly follows “Spiral’s End” in Lina’s arc. “Who are you, Jayden?” we asked. He giggled, then stopped suddenly and said in a hoarse whisper, “I’m not who I should be. Instead of being born the wrong person, I was born not anyone. Just like an artie.” We weren’t sure what to say to that. Anima sat down cross-legged on the floor. “What do you do?” He glanced up at Lonnie, then back down at us. “I do what I must, what I have to, what I shouldn’t.”
