7th

Lights of Life Chapter 11 is now up. It's rather short, but I wanted to make sure I didn't let another year go by without an update. It's only been three months for this story, which I think is pretty good. :)

Well, I've been working a lot on Bloodlines, so I should be sending some more chapters to BetaWolf pretty soon (maybe even tonight). I've also gotten some of the rewrites done on Assassin, so I might actually make my deadline of the end of the month for that story's conclusion. Anyway, we'll see.

14th

I've updated Bloodlines. Chapter 13 is now available. For those of you who were expecting Chapter 11, I've reorganized the chapters, so that's why Chapter 11 is now 13. For any of you who were in the middle of reading the story, if you were starting Chapter 3 or later, just add 2 to the number, and you'll be at the correct chapter, since the reorganizing only consisted of breaking up the first two chapters at more appropriate spots. Anyway, sorry if it's confusing.

I actually have several chapters done for Bloodlines, but I'm doing a final review of each chapter before posting (the content is fine, I'm just checking for typos), so you guys should be getting a chapter every few days for the next couple of weeks.

15th

Hey again. Well, I guess I got bored over the weekend. I wrote a new one-shot story in The Facts of Life universe (Jo/Blair) to take a break from all the editing I've been doing on Bloodlines. For more information, and to actually read the story itself (yes, it's complete), go check out The Debutante and the Delinquent. And if you read it, let me know what you think. :)

Tomorrow, I'll post the next chapter of Bloodlines.

16th

Just like I promised, here's Chapter 14 of Bloodlines. I'll try to get the next chapter up in a couple days (let's say Friday). Let me know what you think.

19th

Here's Chapter 15 of Bloodlines. The next chapter will be posted on Monday.

22nd

Chapter 16 of Bloodlines is now available. The next chapter will be posted on Thursday.

By the way, I've finally gotten some major revisions done on Assassin, so once it goes through beta (I should be sending it off on the 24th), I should be able to post it soon (unless my BetaWolves kill it again :)).

Also, my server has been under DDOS attack (Distributed Denial of Service), so if you find you're unable to access the site sometimes, that's why. I myself am still unable to access my server from my main computer, which has been really annoying, but luckily I have a second (old) computer which seems to be able to get through just fine. So, I should still be able to update as often as I intend to, until we can figure out how to fix the problem.

For those of you who don't know what a DDOS attack is, it's basically where a hacker has infiltrated a bunch of computers with a virus and then taken them over in order to send about a million requests per second for web pages on a particular server (not an exact definition, but close enough). It overloads the server's capabilities because it can't respond to all the requests, and crashes the site so that no one else can access it. It's annoying as hell and can be very difficult to isolate and prevent.

Anyway, let me know what you think of the latest chapter.

25th

Chapter 17 of Bloodlines has been posted. The next chapter will be posted on Saturday.

27th

Chapter 18 of Bloodlines is up. The next chapter will be posted on Monday.

29th

Chapter 19 of Bloodlines is up. The next chapter will be posted on Thursday.

I have only one request/warning. Have faith in me and remember my promise about happy endings (I don't do tragedies).

By the way, the reason there have been so many updates this month is because I took April off from work. I've been able to completely focus on my stories, instead of having to switch my concentration back and forth between work and writing (and yes, I've been working on more than just Bloodlines; can everyone say Xena: Warrior Slave? :)). Anyway, I don't know whether I'll be able to take May off as well. It really depends on whether I'm needed or not. I could certainly use the money, but I'm definitely still in a writing mood, so we'll see.
