...take two.
Some of you probably just got an Email notification for a new posting. I deleted it. This is the second version. Why? Because I was so tired, I forgot to tick off the Charge For This Post box. And as it turns out, that's something you can't edit in after the fact. I just spent a few minutes making sure this wasn't going to be an accidental double-charge, and I'm now confident that it's safe to try again. After having already ticked the box. Because it's a good idea to avoid Take Three.
If I was horribly wrong and anyone does get double-charged, please let me know. (I have experience in giving refunds now.) There should be no more than five post charges for the month, for those whose caps go that high. If you're showing six, I'll make sure the money gets back to you.
So as I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself...
Chapter contains no actual monster girl.
There's been a pattern on this story: to a large degree, we've been switching between Cerea herself and the fallout which her presence has caused. In this case, I went with our Solar presence to track some more of what resulted from the press conference, and by the time I finished with that? 6800 words. I wound up postponing one scenelet to another chapter just because including it would have wrecked the cumulative tone.
So that closes out March. And for April? I'll just say it directly: I've been trying to build a bridge to the next major project, and part of that means making sure the full arch is in place.
We just saw how Scootaloo is doing.
I think it's time to check in on Tish.
