Sorry. I got sick last week.

Expect the story posted on 17th of August.

And thanks for the concern on the project. : )

I'm sorry yet again.

I appointed a week that I have time to complete it and post the whole story, but I got sick on that week. And this week I'm into completion of requirements for the end of our school quarter, which is on Tuesday, August 11.

So, expect it this Friday! I apologize again. =)

Sorry. I thought I'd be able to complete and post the whole chapter by now. Be doing that someday next week. Sorry for the long delay. For now, enjoy what you could with the first paragraph. ;P

Speaking of MJ, a tribute project perhaps?

I hope, at least, WWB knows MJ is dead.

Btw, I'm still finishing chapter 3 of Suds so I might be starting to write #5 of this S&S next week. I've noticed LadyV is already back: http://storymash.com/f/announcements/479/

She might still want to take this, so I'm open to returning the privilege to her. I would just post my continuation as a different branching chapter in case she gets to publish the main chapter 5.

I can really have it? Thanks!

I thought about leaving WWB with another problem (other than the virgin's eyes). I thought it might be better if the concluding chapter would be focused on resolving all the conflicts and showing what happens after the hydra, something to offer a different ending than a dead monster and the hero leaving the scene. I was thinking of a different way of killing the hydra, anyway, and no plan with details of elaborate slashing and piercing.

But I'll wait for what WWB has to say. If WWB prefers a narrative-descriptive of the fight, I'd cut my hydra scene.

LoL. So "numbers" was referring to me. LoL.

Well, since it appears that the geographical setting would affect how the readers would view the story, I'd stick with placing it on some world parallel to ours. ;P

But I guess I'd skip the part to answer which god Jendayi was paying tribute to.

Time might take me till weekend.

That means the characters are currently on Egypt, but then the monks are there.

I'd try my best to rerail it.

But, yes, it's really hard dropping clues to how you imagine/intend the story to continue.

Thanks for the reply.

I also thought the setting was India inspired. My image of the story was honestly derailed when the marble carving was introduced. But I've got no problem with it as I have been considering this as fantasy genre--you know, not our world setting--and never really intended to follow our world historically.

I'll be writing now and hope I get it published by Wednesday.

A question.

It says "at the end of thirty days we’ll decide by highest star rating which one is best and we’ll put that up as a start chapter for a new project to see how good you really are." Would that only be for writers who begin their entries today? If I'd post my first day next week, would that still be counted in?
