It’s here, but it’s a little late. I’m going to go ahead and blame my life going in unexpected directions and me adapting to it, rather than me being lazy or whatever. But, hey. It’s there. It’s out. Chapter 17 is here.

I understand that chapter 16 wasn’t my greatest. I’m hoping that Chapter 17 makes up for that. In my opinion, it’s a better chapter. It introduces and references a few elements that I hope entertains you all, and leaves you itching for more. Especially the ending. There were a few risks taken with that, so I hope it pays off in the end.

December will be decidedly less hectic than November so I will make sure to have another chapter out before the New Year. The story is, at this point, wrapping up, and I’m really excited to start new stories and have you all along for the ride. I can only hope that the stories give you all joy and smiles (if not the occasional twinge of desire and spurt of sadness every once in a while). It’s been a crazy ride so far. Still, no sense getting ahead of myself.

If you’d like to reach out to me privately regarding the chapter, feel free to email me at bashfulscribe@gmail.com. Otherwise, the comments here, the AFF forums and Twitter all work dandily. Thanks for sticking with me so long. I hope you enjoy/have enjoyed chapter 17, I appreciate you all.
