Blood Contingency part 12 — I never did figure out what made me cry about this part last time; chalk it up to depression, I suppose. Anyway, it’s a pretty good part with no explicit sex, just as expected. I thought I got some nice foreshadowing/parallelism in there too :D Next comes the big Wednesday!!

The Test — I made pretty fantastic progress on this story over these last two weekends, but, sadly, don’t really have anything to say about it.

TLY — The scene I inserted to get the stowaway character stowed away is complete, and I’ve been going through subsequent scenes to adjust for that character’s presence. It hasn’t actually taken a lot of work (though we’ll see if I want to insert anything in future), and I’m nearly done with that and back to linear writing. That’s nice.

Aku Soku Zan(za) — The problem with rewriting an old story (or at least a story whose beginning is as old as this one’s) is that there will be some aspects of the story, not just the writing, that I don’t entirely like. The mysterious fleeing young woman that interrupts the second Saitou/Sano fight scene is way too coincidental for my tastes these days, but I don’t really have a way to fix that. So it’s going to happen pretty well as it did before, and I’ll just deal with it XD

I’ve been considering starting to post this story on ff.n, because it would be nice to have an active story about Saitou and Sano going along there, and the sample story I currently have up is really short. The same considerations as ever apply, added in this case to an only monthly update schedule, but I am thinking about it.
