The Prologue of my new story, On Location, is now available in the SabrinaVerse section of my newly redesigned website. See my .sig below for the URL. It should also be up on the Raccoon's Bookshelf shortly. _________________ mwalimu

Great intro!
Hurry up with chapter 1 (but don't hurry so much that it affects the quality)
This story sounds like it could be fun.... _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

*Grin* When I saw those first few paragraphs, I was thinking... "When does Clarence wake up?" It wasn't until Lee and Susan showed up that I started thinking in terms of what you did. *Chuckle* Nicely done, Mwalimu, and very smooth.
Heh. I'm going to be watching this one. Should be most intriguing. _________________ Galadrion - Member of the Longbottom 3. |

Uh-oh.
Another one I'm going to watching with interest. Too many; too many!
Seriously, this looks like an interesting beginning to something. _________________ That which does not kill me probably hurt like a sonuvabitch. |

Thank you, everyone, for the compliments. It really does help motivate me to keep writing and to do my best to put together and put out as good a story as I can.
Chapter 1 is currently in the hands of the editors and still needs to be previewed by those whose characters appear in it. I'm almost done with the first draft of chapter 2, and have made a fair bit of progress the last few days in organizing the story timeline for the remaining chapters _________________ mwalimu

Status report:
Chapter 1 is basically ready to go, but I can't post it yet because I'm still waiting for two of the writers whose characters appear in it to give it their seal of approval. Chapter 2 is close behind. They should be going up soon after I receive said approval, provided the writers in question don't have any objections that require significant rework.
I'm about halfway through writing the first draft of chapter 3. After that, I'm probably going to draft out the next several chapters before I finalize any more, just to make sure I get all the plot threads worked out properly. _________________ mwalimu

Chapter 1 is up, finally! See my .sig for the website. Enjoy!
Chapter 2 should be up within the next couple of days.
Mike: Feel free to add these to your site whenever you've worked through your backlog. Note that the date that appears in the Prologue was changed per a discussion thread in the SOtS forum; you might want to pick it up in your version. Otherwise it is unchanged.
Still working on chapter 3. _________________ mwalimu

Wow! Incredible writing, Mwalimu! And I thought you had the characters nailed down after the prologue! Geez, if anything, you got them even more defined this time.
I'll try not to go into too much detail (for now), since it's early yet and I don't want to spoil anything for others. But whoa, this was a good read. Normally, setting-up chapters seem a little slower than the rest of the story, but if that's the case here, you may well rival Shirh Khan for sheer intensity. With exposition like that, I'm wondering just what you've got planned, and how far you plan to take it.
And I'm going to be waiting, most impatiently, to find out... _________________ Galadrion - Member of the Longbottom 3. |

HO - LEE - COW!!
And what, pray tell, has kept you from writing before now? I concur with Galadrion. This is GREAT STUFF! You had me nearly nose-to-glass with the monitor.
Chapter Two will get pounced promptly, trust me. _________________ Oddly enough, my life is based on a true story. (Ashleigh Brilliant) |

Good stuff. You're still in the setting-up phase (kind of) but this story shows a lot of promise. I'm eagerly waiting for the next chapter. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |
