Damn Muse...she's good at dirty tricks...
That said, I guess I should get to the point. I had promised some readers a quick short story. So, since I was blocked on F&J-NIS I decided to have a go at the short. Well, the damn muse decided for me that this short story isn't so short after-all. In fact, it'll easily be the longest story I've ever wrote. Remind me to tease and please her, would ya?
Before I knew what happened, I had the first chapter of this "short-story" (which was only supposed to have 2 or 3 chapters @ 4 or 5 pages each) done. First chapter is around 10 pages...2nd chapter is 1/2 way done and already 7 pages...oh, and I would wager that not even 1% of the story has been told yet. OOPS!
So, consider this a heads up. A new story...er...novel...is on it's way; staring sometime in the next 3 months. It'll be separated into "books" (which cover the time period of one calendar year), each book containing approximately 50 to 60 chapters (most chapters will cover the events over a period of one week). I'm going to rewrite what I've got already to confirm to the book and chapter format I mentioned above. Everything is going to go through a strict proofing and editing process before release, and releases will be spaced over a certain length of time. Expect multiple chapters at once, but the wait in between will be somewhat sizable.
First release will happen at or about chapter 12, as it stands now. I can't really provide a 'when', as I'm not sure just yet. As soon as I have a better idea, I'll let y'all know.
WARNING: This story is going to be light on sex...especially at the beginning. However, since it's about college-life and college students (ages 17 through 30), you can be guaranteed that it'll be (and get) interesting.

Is it possible that the whole NIS concept has been beaten to death and should be allowed to die? Teenagers are aghast that they must be naked in school, then quickly grow to love it and some other teenager. Yeah, right.
