Status

Currently working on Chapter 7 of Schroedinger's Cat. If all goes well, I may have it posted by the first of November. If not... well.... Anyway, next up after that is Chapter 2 of Homecoming?, and it's got a lot further to go before it's ready for prime time - less than a thousand words written, so far.

No, there won't be any more Swarm stories from me for awhile, at least not until I've caught up a little more on my backlog. There are a bunch of other Swarm authors, though, and judging by the discussions going on, a lot of exciting new stories coming down the pike! Be sure to check frequently on the Thinking Horndog's New Swarm Stories page.. or, you could do like I do, sometimes, and haunt SOL...

Changing Priorities

I've posted a new Swarm story. It's called Changing Priorities, and it develops on the concept of "the Godfather in Outer Space," that was exposed in Family Values. It's on both ASSTR and SOL.

I'm going to take a vacation from the Swarm for awhile. My other writing projects have fallen 'way behind, and I need to move them along a little faster, so no more new Swarm stories from me for awhile. There are lots of great writers doing stories for the Swarm universe, though, so if you haven't checked them out, this would be a great time to do so!

Another stories site

Yielding to pressure from my new friend, deGaffer, I have established an author account at Storiesonline.net (SOL), and today I posted Family Values to the Swarm Cycle universe there. In addition, any future Swarm stories that I may write will be posted there as well.

Of course, any stories I write, including any in the Swarm universe, will continue to be posted on my main stories site at ASSTR. SOL is just another venue. It may also have a positive side for a couple of readers who have mentioned that my main site is hard on their eyes. Although SOL allows some minor customization, I have no intention to try for anything striking at the moment. I will also continue to convert stories, as time permits, to PDF format for both FTP and web download.
