  1. Song titles are a big thing for chapter titles. But usually i choose if a story is going to have chapter titles or not, and the ones that so, I make it part of the planning and keep lists and ideas. Like, all the chapter titles for Tiger Winter had to be one single word, so those were sometimes tough to think of, but the ones from Summer Camp were based on the theme of the chapter and a much looser format, and they came quite easily. lists, lists, and more lists! Lists are your friend.

    Chapter 2

    I don't remember Cowboy Summer being PG-13...and Sanctuary certainly isn't! (and yes, it's on the books to work on some more)
  3. General Update and Best Laid Plans: Current Writing: Innocent Sacrifice - two more chapters left for you guys I think Pool Boy - two more chapters left (it's only a short, sorry) Anthology entry - oh gods, but i have no plot after 6000 words. I'm an idiot. Future Writing: The plan is (this could go horribly wrong) to use NaNoWriMo time to completely scrap and rewrite totally at least the first 2 Best Circle of Hell stories (and swap them around so we meet Tobias first), AND rework stories 3, 4, and 5 in order to create a complete collection. Then, and Ma knows this plan and has agreed to help me (though I must find a third beta reader from somewhere), we are going to edit, edit, edit and check, check, check and hopefully have a hard copy collection of all 8 finished Best Circle of Hell stories ready for you in time for Christmas shipping. And yes, there'll be an ebook too.

    Chapter 7

    He's not regretting anything, but he is starting to question things about himself he's always assumed. As to When Su Yin is from, you're half right. Time is linear, so you can't go into the past from Hell, but you can go to any Where from Hell, and that includes plenty of 'other' earths. The multiverse is a Very Very Very large place. So for example, the earth Jahke is from is incredibly similar to our own (where Jeremiah and Atoki are from), but not exactly the same. This is will be more clear once the first 4 stories are rewritten.
  5. The shock on Zhihao’s face had been almost funny as he’d opened the door of Snakes and Snakes, his jaw practically scraping the floor as he recovered. “Never?” “You’ve never had alcohol before, ever?” Zhihao stood aside so his lover could enter the bar. “We’d best be careful with you.” “What’s that I hear?” Su Yin turned towards a familiar voice to see the big green scaled naga smiling at him. “We’ve got a virgin in the house! Don’t let Jem make you any cocktails.” “Inai!” Su Yin

    Chapter 2

    You got there before me, and of course, you are correct. I did a little mind map to work it out. You should see the one for who's had sex with who in the Best Circle of Hell! (it takes up a whole page)

    Chapter 2

    Marcus stood on the springboard and closed his eyes. There was nothing – nothing but the smell of the water, the chill of the air against his skin, the cool plastic beneath his feet, the distance in front of him – nothing else mattered. Not the memory of his teammate’s hands on his body, or their kisses on his mouth – and other places – not the long shower the four of them had taken, crammed into Harper’s tiny dormitory bathroom, having spent the night together in his not-big-enough bed. None of

    Chapter 1

    I'm sad that you think so, but as you'll see (I hope), no one person in this relationship has the upper hand all the time.
  10. you have a greenhouse you're not using? Sacrilege! get some seeds and plant something in the spring or I’ll be round there with a spade!!! And yes, Copper has never left me, though there was a chunk of time when I had no time to ride him. But he's my boy. I give him his breakfast every morning in the field and we have a little chat. Husband is picking the boys up after work tomorrow, so i get to ride afterschool - whooo! me and my boys and a big field baby (Dashi always comes too). pictures on twitter!

    Chapter 6

    I have always known that you have to open to certain... proclivities (even if you don't enjoy them personally) and allow for a very high level of theological distortion in order to enjoy TBCoH. They are not and have never been for everyone. Even Vinnie, who was there when this universe was born (oh, so many many years ago when I was a teenager), still isn't totally comfortable with them. And I’ll happily admit that even though he lives in my brain, Inai still scares the living shite out of me. not for another week! sorry

    I was just 'out' for an extended period. but Su Yin is a persistent little sod, so he's back too.

    Once a week for 4 weeks. sorry, but it's only a short. and thanks, glad you like it so far.
  17. Atoki had sent him home from the library with his little box of basic writing supplies, a selection of the best papers he’d had on hand, and three books in Chinese, which were all he had that Su Yin thought might be useful. Atoki had explained he had taught himself first Japanese, then Chinese, in the years after he’d come to hell, and thus most of what he had was designed for non-native speakers. But the scavengers weren’t hugely accurate a lot of the time, so there were two books on advanced c
  18. And more than once at that! You guys know me, I'm an all or nothing kinda kid.
