Just posted "pitch", and a tiny fix or two to "fire."

And yes, I really have been up all night finishing the latest chapter.

heheeh ok I am making sure to post immediately after reading lobby because....somebody gets cranky when I don't feed their addiction...

ok lets keep it simple...I loved it  the chemistry between CENSORED BY IMAGINEER and Em... the CENSORED BY IMAGINEERhell.. Em having a CENSORED BY IMAGINEER giving herself a CENSORED BY IMAGINEER...oh wait that sucked...no CENSORED BY IMAGINEER for the Winter lady... that would ruin the story..


so did you use the 12 pack of Dr. Peppers and the package of No-Doze wisely?  Or did you take them all at once and freak outyour neighbors

I was a baaaaaad boy....and I got 'panked

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. The final chapters are coming together, and it looks like this story about the Winter Solstice will be completed before the Vernal Equinox is upon us. (That means as long as it's finished within the next three weeks, it can still be considered story posted in Winter and thus not late.)

I hope the ending lives up to expectations... but whether it does or not, I hope everyone will drop me a line to tell me what they especially liked or didn't like so much, so that I can learn from the experience. And if you have any questions about CENSORED FOR DV8N or anything else about the story, or you just want to share your thoughts about specific things, feel free to add to the Spoilers thread or to create a new one.

complete?  ...are you trying to say ....end?

damn good chapter... loved it and hated it... great read but hate what happens   you know what I mean if you read it

I've read a couple of your stories and love them both. I think what I like best though is that you actually finish them! You seem to be in the minority there from the rest that I've read here. Keep up the great work!

No, I had given up DrPepper early in the year. Without it, what little I could manage to write sounded like it'd come from an eight-year-old suffering Ritalin withdrawal.

A couple of weeks ago I fell off the wagon. Twelve packs were on sale, and I needed it...

I feel bad about leaving a story hanging so long. I'll try not to let that happen again.

But I have to say, a commitment to finish whatever story you start can make it very hard to start, especially knowing the way a story tends to get larger as it's developed. Writing is 2% inspiration, 98% concentration on putting words together to make sentences for hours and hours even if you have a million other things vying for your attention. Or something. It's work, like painting a house -- it's fun to pick the colors, and the part you can do with a roller goes really fast and easy, but then there's masking and window trim and eaves and gutters and cleanup and it seems like you're never going to finish, and you keep finding spots you missed, and the color in one of the cans doesn't quite match, and then your neighbor hires guys who paint his house almost the same damn color over a single weekend... and when you do finish, your buddy comes over and says "wow, great job -- hey, the game's on."

To be honest I was hoping this was a sequel to cruel summer(because of the name). Even though that was a slight disappointment to me it did not in the least bit keep me from thoroughly enjoying this story. Great job. Look forward to reading more of your works.

Just thought I'd put in my two cents worth and let you know I totally enjoyed Winter's Blade. So now you have gathered in another fan to satisfy. That means you must keep writing, writing, writing.

I hope I'm not making what you do seem like um, ah, (clearing throat) work, but we fans do have our expectations, you know.

Excellent story. Finally got around to reading it and finished it last night. Couldn't put it down. Greatly enjoyed it.
