Sunder 5.7

The original idea had this thing so much bigger than this. Like a lot of things this week, however, things didn't quite go according to plan, so I decided that rather than cram everything into one cha...

Not Today

Ugh, if it's not one thing, it's another, isn't it?

So, rather than something entirely my fault, like delays usually tend to be, this one is something I can't really do anything about.

Sunder 5.5

And it's done!

Well, mostly. My editor still needs to give it a pass, but I like this version better, so I can't imagine he'll have too much to correct. In either case, I'll swap out this version fo...

Chapters-In-Progress: Sunder 5.5

This chapter is way late and it's taking me way too long to finish, so I figured I'd share it with all of you as an apology and let you see where, exactly, I'm having trouble.

Sunder 5.a: Binary Liquidation

To some degree, I felt like this would fit better after the next chapter. Like this ruins a surprise or two, even though it really doesn't ruin the important ones. It definitely fit better in its curr...

Sunder 5.4

It's a day later than I wanted, really more like two or three, because I would've preferred to be done by Saturday, but here it is.

It's some more fluff, with the addition of a new character. More s...

Sunder 5.2

Tarot and palmistry — never again. Ugh, that took up so much time and effort, trying to get that right. I think I would make a terrible psychic.

Another secret. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Here it is, the beginning of arc 5. Watch out for that timeskip, if you blink, you'll miss it.

Anyone have any guesses why it's "Sunder?"

Serenity

The first concept of Serenity. Undoubtedly, she'll change in some form by the final product.
