Weekly Update - 11/15/23
🕑 Added 2023-11-16 08:22:05 +0000 UTCI'm most of the way through the next Morgana's Gift chapter, so I'll have that done before I crash for the night. There's only 3-4 chapters left in that story, for those of you keeping track, so we're nearing the end. (Or, at least the end for a while.) When it comes to voting, that story'll hit a resting point very quickly if you keep it up with putting that one forward a bunch.
I dropped a chapter of Neon Stonehenge earlier in the week, and made the chapter before that available for all subscribers. That story's actually humming along nicely, and it's good that Dale Sexton (aka the Druid Gunslinger) has a voice that comes pretty naturally to me.
Next week is Thanksgiving, but I tend not to go anywhere and do anything for that, so instead of having a feast, I'll probably just be enjoying a massive turkey sandwich and trying to get caught up on work, which is especially troubling since my birthday's near the very end of the month. But I don't mind - some of the stuff I'm working on is of great delight to me, and I have to make up for the horrific cold that laid me low most of last week. Doing what I can, I promise you.
I did see The Marvels yesterday, and those of you who are on the fence about it, you really only need to have watched the Ms. Marvel show on Disney+ and the first Captain Marvel movie. I also genuinely recommend it. It's not perfect - Brie Larson is trying to split the difference between RDJ's Tony Stark and Evans' Steve Rogers, but she's not snarky enough to keep up with RDJ and not vulnerable enough to match Evan - but Iman Velanni is so insanely charming, she's able to make up for the energy, and Samuel L. Jackson seems like he's having fun again. More importantly, it was fun and I don't mean that sort of detached "what is happening" fun you got from Quantumania. I laughed genuinely and had a smile on my face when I came out of it. So go and watch and have fun.
If you're a Netflix subscriber and you're looking for something to watch, one of my favorites has sprung back up there - it's called Spy Game, and if you've never seen it, I gotta tell you, I watch it with some regularity - Robert Redford at the peak of his power and a younger Brad Pitt, in an excellent story about the price of being a spy, and how nothing comes without a cost. I recently found that a trio of novels about Redford's character were published, and they're all on my Kindle now to get read soon.
Public release schedules are as follows: 11/18 - QT:PT13, QT 2:7, Pack 4; 11/25 - Morgana's Gift 6; 12/2 - The Fertile Grove 1; 12/9 - Quaranteam: Aisling's Antics 1; 12/16 - QT2:8, Devil's Details 8, 12/23 - BTS 7.
Anyway, that's it for me tonight, other than the post that'll be coming along sooner or later. Take care of yourselves, and remember, if you're a subscriber and you don't have access to the Discord, feel free to drop me a line. Other than that, if I'm working to get caught up on things for you, I'm still working on it, and I'll get there as soon as I can.

I saw Spy Game when it originally came out, and loved it. I always tell people, "If you like Robert Redford, you will like this movie."

The trailer kind of had me on the fence. Hmmm I got monday off and no plans, might as well give it a go.

I saw The Marvels tonight and also really enjoyed it! And agreed that Ms. Marvel / Iman Velanni really stole the show π
