“Murchad is let down by the rules” was originally intended to be much longer. In fact it was supposed to be two chapters, the second being the scene in Dublin Castle’s hall. (It even had a preview banner ready.)

Anniversary time already. The Kingdom of Lothere: So romantic since 2005!

Year Six has been an interesting one for me. I was laid off in March, and although I quickly found another cool job, that speed bump certainly affected my output over here in the story. It looks like I only wrote 44 new chapters in the last year: less than one per week.

Somebody expressed an interest in one of the recolors I made a few years ago of Sherabhim’s “Maiden” gown: the “party dress” immortalized in “Estrid is made molten.”
