Well, we knew something like this was on the horizon, but that doesn't make it any easier to read.

A lot of dramatic fireworks to mark a Happy New Year for us all!

Lalianus, with a childlike sense of wonder (and stubborn steak) had to FAFO what happens when he ruffles the fellow bird's crest feathers. Lesson learned, I think.

That is quite a magic resort if it prompted this reaction from Lee and Doug!

A glimpse behind the masks of public 'secret' identities that were so necessary in times like those certainly raises the stakes. I am put in mind of the queer purges of the 1950s in the US State Department that were prompted by the belief that gay men were susceptible to treason by blackmail because they feared being fired if they were outed. The circular rationale that the only risk the men posed was trying to keep their reputation safe from a homophobic government never occurred to anyone then, and even today, conservatives defend the practice... "Why would you fire him?" "Because he is homosexual and could be blackmailed." "Why would he be blackmailed?" "Because he is homosexual and if we find out he would be fired." "Why would you fire him?" "Because he is homosexual and could be blackmailed." Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum.

Riveting dialog between Liam and Hudson. I'm just glad I wasn't sitting there for three hours waiting for Hudson to bring my check so I could pay!

Great start to the novella. I look forward to more.

Poor Ash! The Guides have big changes coming, no doubt!

That was intense! Wow!

It's great that Billy got to go to Cooperstown, and that Jody helped him meet his goal!

Hmmm... I wonder if Five will come to regret goading Percy into renouncing dirty dancing?

A really moving story about a segment of society more ignored than written about. Dingo's gesture of kindness at the end is an affirmation of the basic humanity of some people.

One of the traits of effective writers is the power of observation. When paired with a talent for transferring those observations to the page, the result can be a felicitous crafting of underlying features that you have no deliberate intention of giving the character, they just jump up and boldly display them. It's what makes reading a well-written story so much fun.

I can't wait to see what the Magical Incidents Department has in store.

VERY touching scene between Venneth and Torryn. Great chapter!

Frog is overwhelmed... hope that Dingo can give him some perspective.

Another exciting chapter. I am pleased to see Coach have an honest discussion with young Jody and not slut shame him.

Looking forward to more of Torryn's backstory to fill in the gaps!

The scene in the restaurant was insane!

It seems as though Oric needs to talk about his situation, but he shuts out the one person willing to listen to him.

Great chapter!

That's the way to end a chapter!

Very compelling story telling!

Claus and his kinky Santa are doing their best to make the Yuletide festive.

This story has a spooky vibe that I am really enjoying.
