Good news, everyone! The fourth chapter of Drone Metastasis is close to being completed, and should be posted for next week's update at the MC archive (and everywhere else). You can keep an eye here to see if it will be posted earlier, but I won't promise anything as I will be spending a lot of time with family this week and won't have access to my usual posting haunts. It is likely to come after Christmas at the soonest.
At any rate, looking at the rest of my outline, there's about one to two more chapters of material left to write, so I expect this story will be wrapping up at some point in mid to late January. Thanks to everyone who has come along for the ride so far!
I very much hope you have enjoyed reading about Hive. Maybe you'll choose your own Hive number and do some recruiting for Her? I'm sure One would be happy to have you on board. :)
Update Update:
I was able to get chapter four done tonight, so it will definitely be available next week (I do need time for an editing pass!) I've looked through what's remaining a second time, and I think what's left may have shorter scenes than what has gone before, so there may be only one chapter remaining. Good or bad, we'll see how that goes as I work my way through it. Cheers, and Merry Christmas everyone!
And a happy 'Bah Humbug' to you from Australia.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate all your efforts over this year.
Lots of fires here right now, people wearing masks in public everywhere (I know its bad of me to have thoughts like that in this situation..).
44 Deg C here today.
PLEASE smack the next climate change denier you see or hear on my behalf 'Gibbs' style over the back of the head. Hard.
Sorry to hear you have been not feeling well.
Talk more later, need to go and hose some fires again, embers ahead of main front.
Hang in there,
X.
Lisa.
PS
Sorry for being so rushed.
V busy right now.
Yeah I've heard it's miserable down there. Hope you get through it okay!
DeleteMerry Christmas anyway, and best of luck! Cheers!
I'm so into this story, I'm really hyped for the next chapter! Also, unrelated, have you tried the RAGS game Overseer? It's hard as fuck and frustrating, but it's also really good!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Our inexorable movement towards Hive domination continues!
DeleteI have indeed played Overseer! (As well as Dollmistress' previous work, too!)
They're quite fun games, but suffer from being long and not having walkthroughs (winning is quite difficult without some help!) If you're lucky, you might find some hints in a forum thread, but sometimes you just get stuck!
