Figured it was about time I started a general journal type thread since I doubt folks are reading my livejournal.
I'll try to keep things up to date in here about my writing and etc, something I've NOT been doing on my journal.
Chapter 40 is finished and at the editors. He's not sure he'll be able to get it back to me tonight, so it'll probably go up tomorrow. I'll post an announcement when it's ready.

Now this may sound like a dumb question but, what year did you start writing IC? _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners." Charlton Heston

It was in 2000. I registered the domain name of SabrinaOnline2k.net for the story in Aug of 2000 and later founded the IC-Stories.com domain. I'm not sure exactly when I started the story, but I think it was in June.

Great chapter I Really liked Maxx's cameo, but I'm starting to wonder if Arden is ever going to pull his head from his @ss and stop acting like a JERK! _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners." Charlton Heston

Interesting chapter.
Arden is getting rather arrogant and a little careless. One just has to wonder if and how that is going to bite him in the tail. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

Arden seems to have figured things out a bit more thoroughly than Lakash gave him credit for. Unfortunately, his new "running the ship" (er... sorry) attitude definitely looks like it's going to cause more problems with Sheila... and just when it looked like she had finally stopped being so obnoxious towards him.
I did like the Maxx cameo, that was great _________________ Changed my name to Kantaro. |

Up for more reading soon?
To make up for lost time last year, I'm trying to advance my production schedule.... As such, I completed another chapter tonight and sent it off to the editor. Hopefully I'll have it posted tomorrow afternoon or evening.

good chapter i guess this answers a few of my questions regarding ardens attitude but there are still some things that can be done that have not, though i'll wait and see if they are though upon.
it seems good o'l lakash has something up his sleeve again i can't wait to see how this turns out. _________________ __________________

Not much new has happened lately. I'm beginning to wonder where everyone dissappeared to. Planet Furry has been remarkably quite of late and I'm not talking about just my forum either.
Started work today on a different story I've been tossing around in the back of my head for a while. The short story "Big Game Hunt" will be the basis for it. What happened in the short will show up at the beginning of the story and I'll take it from there. It'll follow the life and times of Smokey after that event. I won't actually start publishing anything until after IC ends, but it never hurts to get a head start on such a project either.
Anyway... Not much else has been happening in my world.
