Posted The Spirit of the Season to Pretender Fan Fiction.

December 10, 2006

Posted Chapter 29 of Deadman's Switch to Pretender Fan Fiction. Author's Note: I would like to apologize for the very long stretch of time between updates recently. Those of you who know me better know that I'm taking care of both my elderly and ailing parents - and what you may not know is that this has been a particularly bad year for both of them. Both of them - and my husband, for that matter - have tried to die at least once in the last three months. Taking care of their medical and personal needs takes up a great deal of my time nowadays - and makes it difficult to concentrate at the level required to write well. I'm asking for your indulgence - I will NOT leave this story unfinished, but my faithful readers should be warned that it may take longer than originally intended to reach the finish line. Thanks ahead of time for your understanding. -MMB

HOWEVER, there is a high probability that the Reason server will be taken down to be physically moved to a new location on or about that date. Therefore, if you would like to receive the next chapter in your email, please...

October 1, 2005

Posted Chapter 4 of Deadman's Switch to Pretender Fan Fiction. The next chapter, Chapter 5, will be posted on October 15.

September 17, 2005

Posted Chapter 3 of Deadman's Switch to Pretender Fan Fiction. Due to random and frustrating re-edit issues with the Plone webpage engine, I have added link info for all the other chapters in this piece - but they will become active ONLY when the chapter has been posted. So keep checking either the homepage or this page for notice of new postings. The next chapter, Chapter 4, will be posted on October 1.

September 3, 2005

Posted Chapter 2 of Deadman's Switch to Pretender Fan Fiction. Chapter 3 will be posted on September 13.

August 23, 2005

Posted a new blog entry. Posted Chapter 1 of Deadman's Switch to Pretender Fan Fiction - thus ending a hiatus of nearly two months.

However, as my muse is very slow-moving with providing inspiration for the penning of this story, my posting schedule will no longer be a regular every Saturday morning event. Readers should be aware that this is not a completed work - and the chapter index at the bottom of each submission is only my best guess as to how many chapters it will take to wrap up the tangle of story threads I have going. I will try to post on an every-other Saturday basis, however, so that readers will have some idea when to return for new stuff. The next expected posting of Chapter 2, then, will be on September 4, 2005.

July 9, 2005

Posted Year's End to Pretender Fan Fiction.

June 4, 2005

Posted Chapter 13 of To Rule In Hell to Pretender Fan Fiction. This story is now finished. Updated Hints page to reflect a title and blurb change for upcoming fanfiction work - Deadman's Switch. I will be taking a hiatus of approximately four to six weeks from my regular Saturday updates. I hope that you will consider revisiting some of my older works OR try out some of the Original Fiction I've posted here.

June 4, 2005

Posted Chapter 12 of To Rule In Hell to Pretender Fan Fiction. Contrary to what I'd thought all the way through this story, it refused to be written to fit into 12 chapters - so there WILL be a Chapter 13.

May 27, 2005

Posted Chapter 11 of To Rule In Hell to Pretender Fan Fiction. Due to scheduling constraints for my day on Saturday that would make it impossible to update on time, and considering you folks have had to wait for the last two installments, I thought you might like to see this one a little early.

May 24, 2005

Posted Chapter 10 of To Rule In Hell to Pretender Fan Fiction. Again, sorry for the delay - neither of these two incidents have been my fault.

May 18, 2005

AUTHOR'S NOTE REGARDING TOPIARA: I have decided to withhold the final chapters of Topiara so as to not jeopardize chances to sell it and see it published in hard copy. Readers who have been following this story and would like to know how it ends are urged to email me privately with their concerns. I promise I will not leave anyone hanging if they truly want to know how things end.

Posted Chapter 21 and Chapter 22 of Mindtrap to Fan Fiction - that's right, you get two chapters this week! In order to qualify for the Pretender Fan Fiction Awards, I must have finished posting this story by the end of the month - which means you folks get two chapters this week, and then two chapters next week for a grand finale.
