First I want to say, Thanks for your patience. :) It has been
about 6 months since I posted a new chapter here. I thought I wouldn't be
able to post after the NC17 policy changed, but taking a brief perusal of
the site…it looks like the same material is here.
The R policy is Restricted: Not suitable for readers under 17. It seems to be the same as the "no children under 17 policy" prior to the revision.
Just to cover my bases. I am going to post the link for chapter 6 and let you tell me there whether you think it can be posted here without bumping up against their new rule.
If you do not verify you are 18 and older, the site won't link you to the story.
Second, I do have two betas now to help me work on my new chapters.:eek Hopefully you should see some improvement on spelling, consistency with the DROM writers on Nietchzean details, and other things that might have wigged readers out. I have just given my betas my first completed draft yet. I will make the revisions to what is posted as they come to me.
I changed my mind about not doing updates & corrections for the first 5 chapters. I realized I can't beta people who have already written and posted their fic without honoring my own advice.
By example I will revise my chapters as I go along. You might notice slight changes in the details. The general plot should stay the same. If you see anything too drastic let me know.
I still contend that other first time authors who leave their first few chapters the same, come back and demonstrate their growth in later chapters. The comparison as a reader (if we stick with them) shows how much growth they have been able to achieve in the life of the story.
In the revised chapters, see if you notice the shorter sentences with shorter paragraphs and shorter posts (part 1-3 of a chapter especially if I haven't finished editing the entire chapter).
Third, I wanted to apologize here in this space for a mistake I made in Chapter 5. I fixed it here by replacing the chapter… The entire apology is in the review section here.
I have written it at each site where I post this apology:

You can't write, just read.
In placing the comment in Chapter 5, I identified the reader that wrote that part by using the from line.. I didn't mean to use her real name, just a handle. She wrote me back here in the review section.
I have made sure I have posted my apology for identifying her by name. It is a privilege to receive feedback, all feedback. I mean to respect those who honor me with their comments.
I am sorry here for giving more information than was necessary.
Thanks again for reading and coming back to me.
