We're back! Chapter 9Donut fell hard to the floor with a yelp as we all jumped back. She hunched, like she was going to leap to my shoulder but then caught herself. She stopped on the floor and held up her right front claw in amazement. The cleaner bot let out a scream at the destruction of the ...

Apologies ahead of time. We don't yet get into book 8 just yet. I'm working on it, but it's not quite ready. I want to start this one with a bit of a bang which requires going straight to action before slowing down like we usually do, and I gotta frame it correctly. In the meantime, here...

Quick Poll. From whose POV should the recap of book 6 be written?
We have a lot of free members on here, so I thought I’d make this one public to all. The book 5 recap in book 6 was written by Donut who wasn’t privy to some info, and there was a bit of unreliable narration in there. With that in mind, who should write the recap of book 6? I will go with the to...
