Before someone asks (again), Agent of Change has now taken over the "primary story coming from Eric Storm" slot, and as such, its postings - when they occur - will happen on the 1st of the month.

That is awesome news! I just finished rereading AoC 1-11 yesterday and can†t wait to learn more about several things! Thanks Eric ðŸ‘

Such as? (I ask because it gives me insight about what people are finding interesting about this story.)

SPOILER ALERT: I feel like there will be more to the mob than we have seen so far; really want to know who the fbi mole is and which big industry is already attacking salt! Also curious as to what will happen with Ayumi and Emma. Will Pat run for office…will she win? Will Robert do something else stupid and cause him to “push†control? Anyway…thoroughly enjoying your stories as I have found to be a norm for me. Thank you for writing and sharing them!

Maybe it'll turn out to be nothing/ignored/etc but: I still want to know what was in the police report about his mother from "over 10 years ago" and if it has any relevance to the fight with his father, etc
lots of chapters have little nuggets of unknown-possible-foreshadowing and/or rife for callbacks so...I'm interested in learning literally anything, it's a great story, and I want more of it

I’m guessing it is possible just like it’s possible he may wait til closer to the end of the 1st (11:59 pm I hope not) to post it depending on how much people bug him about it.

No telling Hilz. I have given up trying to guess how Eric will react all I can do is ask

Guess 6 months means 6 hours added on. It’s worth it though, usually is.

I'm curious about that as well. I'm always happy to see another chapter released, and disappointed that I read it so fast. Thank you Eric!!
Edit: When this posted I realized this is the first time I've posted since I joined 8 years ago. I'm sorry about that, but I'm not good with translating thoughts into words, and I have enjoyed your work for a looong time. Thank you again!

Any idea what kind of timeframe you're targeting for WBR 4? I know you said that AoC was the new "primary" work that will come out first of the month, but also I dont think the next chapter is complete yet? So does that mean WBR would be released at some point randomly, or will it take the place of a 1st of the month release?
Looking forward to more of each series

At the moment, my writing is on involuntary hiatus. (By which I mean I can't seem to write anything)
At this point, things will be posted when they're ready. Beyond that, I can't commit to anything.

Roger, all good, was just curious.
Let us know if there's anything we can do to help (like suggesting random setups to get characters into the same scene again )
Otherwise, good luck on the involuntary-ness receding.

Okay, hell, who knows, maybe it'll help...
If you've been reading AC, you know that Pat is running for city council.
I'd like some interesting scenes to fit into that plotline. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them here.
Also, if you have any interesting ideas for the WBR crew to deal with, you can mention that, too.

I wonder if there was a character to run opposed to Pat might make some interesting scenes Eric? there is nothing nastier than politics so should be some material there. Of course as sick of politics as I currently am I cannot believe I am suggesting this

I just narrated out random plot points that may or may not be useful when I was driving to the dentist today (I think i fixed all the weird speech to textisms, but...sorry if I missed any). Feel free to use all or none...or hate them so much that they give you better ideas, who knows
Also, given that I think there's both a chapter of WBR and AC in progress right now...you may have already written some of these sorts of things...so sorry for any duplicates that I'm not aware of
Random AC ideas
- The mob approaches pat several times trying to get her in their pocket
- Nick decides he needs to run the mob empire from the shadows, to remove them as a corrupting force (or at least corruption Nick agrees with), and help ensure nick/etc's safety
- someone finds out about what ever it was that nick's mom did years ago in order to ask questions at a press conference of pat who whitenessed it or something?
- Father comes out against pat running for city council, forcing Nick to start the public takedown of his father from the shadows
- Pat Asked about her connection with salt corporation at press conference
- His mom signs papers so he can start getting his drivers license
- Decides to convert the basement of the factory into something: perhaps a bunker or a storage facility...or something else entirely. it's just interesting because it's directly connected to the apprtment, so if the main floor becomes manufacturing...the basement could be something hidden/reserved for Nick and his group's use
- Start world building around the town: we know a lot about nicks 5 favorite places, and a few houses he does chores at, etc...other interesting places? Get sent to hobbins/etc?
- Haley has to protect nick using her new skills as security chief
- Waterpark / airport stuff
WBR (less ideas here because I need to re-read WBR again...so maybe more ideas after the weekend?).
- Now devoid of annoying other people begin to form a close knit group / more interpersonal interaction threads/subplots?
- All people within Tim's team begin pairing off, with sexy results, etc?
- First series is largely about water being the limiting factor. Is there a new limiting factor or will be group size/interpersonal relations be the limiting factor/source of conflicts for awhile?
- All the stupid people in the other group die off, smart ones rejoin tim's group at next meetup?
- Build new base ?
- General world building / exploring events?
Hopefully something there is useful to you, if not, then continued good luck moving past it otherwise.
