So, after nearly six months in the making, I have today submitted the first of a 20 chapter story for moderation.

As editor, @Mikiesboy took me on a ride to do a proper job at writing, making me change my too many descriptions into things the characters say and expunge adverbs. The first chapter saw seven vastly different iterations. I cannot thank him enough for going through this patience and attention to detail.

Having gotten the technical detail more or less right, @CassieQ whipped me into shape with "the feelings stick", making me point out stuff I thought was obvious and finding issues I hoped nobody would notice. Without her input, the story would be lacking.

"Special Circumstances" is about a London police officer who falls in love with a police volunteer officer, called Special Constable in Britain. At the same time, he will be exposed to a secret that shakes the foundations of his world. Expect character growth, drama, boring police work, and action.

I was a Special Constable, so the police stuff is genuine.

I just realize that I go on a business trip this week and thus I will not be able to upload chapters to the moderation queue. So, there will not be one chapter ready for the next weekend.

Sorry!

The trip was ... business :)

But that was the last chapter that was moderated. I just uploaded another, and it is auto-approved. So, no threat to the weekend binge!

Maybe I get something done.

That would be awesome. (But take your time!)

It's my favorite story of 2024 so far.
