Down the Rabbit Hole, part 1.

Alright, one of the things I was working on. A Whateley Academy canon origin for their/our Generation 2. It opened my eyes to realize there isn't all that much traffic between the two sites, and I think that's a shame, but I'll deal; I just didn't want to step on any toes by posting this here too early. But turns out I didn't need to worry, so here we are; enjoy.

To whom it may concern:

I know I've been updating slowly these last several months, and I know those of you that care know why. (namely, a book in the works and Whateley academy generation 2.)

I just thought that if you had a burning desire to read something I wrote, a need to read something new by me (or at least new to you) I'd point out that the first part of the origin for my gen 2 character (some 20k words of goodness) is now up on the new Crystal Hall site. If you already knew and read, carry on... if not, well, you're invited to.

Dim prisons and Drakes, chapter 11.

A little early this time! Well, sort of. Already working on a new chapter of something that isn't RiH... but a new chapter of that is coming. For now, enjoy a look at the new old Toledo, courtesy of DP&D. See if any of you can guess where I'm going before I get there. :)

Vagrants chapter 16.

I'm on time! Let's all cheer that fact as we read this totally full length and not short at all chapter, okay? (This is actually my normal chapter length for many of my tales, which is kind of depressing when I think about it.) Still doing the other projects, and both are still progressing.

For those of you who don't know, you can find some of my latest work over at the crystal hall... the new Whateley Academy site that is, not the old one. Just look under the generation 2 tag, and I'm there. So I haven't been gone, just... busy with something many of you haven't seen yet.

Anyway, enough about that. Enjoy some tension in your Vagrants chapter. The calm before the storm, if you will.

Room in Hell chapter 22.

Alright, so it's been a month since I posted anything; my bad. I do have a few things to say in my defense.

Thing one, I can now announce what one of the projects taking up my time is. I am a Generation 2 Whateley Academy canon writer, and I'm currently writing one of the stories for that universe. It's taking up a fair amount of my time, but the payoff will be worth it.

The other thing is a book, that many of you should already know a little about. Unfortunately, in order to get the book published professionally I have to write the entire tale at once before any of it sees the light of day. Currently, I'm on book 2 of that, and expect to be done in another ten days or so - the holidays have been hectic for me.

But enough about me... on to Room in Hell, chapter 22, where we find out about the Anti Demon Task Force health plan.

The evil without.

Alright, so here it is, what I've been hinting at, my Halloween story for this year. This sort of thing, while something I love, seems harder to write than I thought. Maybe I'll get better with practice, or maybe I nailed it better than I think I did... but it's hard to do scary in prose.

This start is a little trope-ish, like many of mine, but I make good on it I think. At any rate, tell me how I did. Oh, and you're warned, I'm trying to be scary here; if you don't like that kind of thing, you shouldn't read it.

A personal history of Mutation, or how I spent my teen years. Chapter 13.

Alright, finally done. Been pretty sick the last few weeks, and it slowed me down some. But here it is, as promised! In this episode: design triage.

Enjoy.

A personal history of mutation side story; the two R's.

Well. Good news and bad news. The good news is, this little bit is coming out mainly to explain some of the wheels behind the next chapter of summer mutation, which is about half done. The bad news is, both of these little blurbs were originally meant to be part of chapters expressing the points of view of the characters involved, from the beginning of the tale.

But I have too many irons in the fire as is, so you get a synopsis of sorts. This is mainly so that I can keep writing those other things I'm writing. Perhaps far into the future I'll take another look at such things.but for now we all just have to make do.

Hope you enjoy it.

Memoirs of a magical girl, chapter 3.

I'm back!. I'm actually writing as fast as I ever have, just on three different chapters at once, which delays them all; this one is a prime example. It should have been done 3 days ago; whoops. Just another build up chapter before things begin to get interesting; sorry about that. Also, to add to the fun, I'm thinking about another book, though this time I might add a teaser chapter here.

Here there be dragons, chapter 6.

Anyone remember this one? Well, I did! Heard back from the authors whose characters are involved; I wasn't about to write so much as a vignette without having both on board. It took a little patience, but it happened. Don't expect any further such vignettes, as it isn't really my policy to use the characters of others. I won't rule it out, but I don't have it planned.

So here it is: enjoy!

Room in Hell chapter 21.

Alright, I was originally going to post a part in a Whateley Universe tale, but things happened. So that one is on the back-burner for now. Then I was all set to write this, and it grew far past my expectations. To the point where I decided to cliff hanger it, so sorry in advance. Anyway, enjoy it as finally, the plot thickens! Well, thickens more.

Who's hunting who? Chapter 7.

Alright; this wasn't the one I had in mind to post right now. Here there be dragons was supposed to be next, but I'm waiting to hear back from two authors who own two characters I wrote a vignette for. I know it's a fanfic, but it just doesn't seem right to me to appropriate someone else's character without permission going forward; so instead, we have this one.

Got to admit, I love Sasha, he's so much fun to write.

Memoirs of a magical girl, chapter 2.

Alright, so chapter 2 of this. I upped the rating (I think) since the main character has a potty mouth, and certain risque discussions do take place. That's basically going to be the rating from here on out; if there is any doubt about letting young-uns read it, read it first and make the call yourself.

This chapter is basically philosophy versus mental health. Enjoy.

Memoirs of a magical girl, chapter 1.

A few days ago, I read a comment on "who's hunting who" by Sadarsa: "No telling what the chaos generator inside Nag's head came up with," or similar. I laughed and laughed... because I was writing this at the time. This is the story my muse has been threatening me with for months, and I've held off because I really wanted to finish one story before doing another.

My muse had other ideas.

So here it is, another nice loving bag of "WTF" from me. Enjoy.

A personal history of Mutation, or how I spent my teen years. Chapter 12.

Alright, by request, the next Chapter in Min's tale. In this chapter, we find out a bit more about pre-fabricated labs. They do exist!

Next one to this will likely be a side story, explaining some of the movement in the background.

Until then, enjoy.

Dim prisons and Drakes, chapter 9.

Alright well, here we are. The bad news is I'm still just as slow at the moment. The good news is the book I'm working on is about 2 weeks from finished on my end, and then it's business as usual, at least for awhile.

Which brings us to this chapter, in which we explore inn's in the brave new world, and hope they aren't any worse than this one. Enjoy!

I, monster. chapter 7.

Well, I'm late. I expected to be done with this weeks ago. Unfortunately, I remembered after I started that this was one of my hardest stories to write correctly, and while in the middle of writing a book... yeah. The good news is the book is about 40% complete. The bad news is the slow updates will continue until I'm done. Though with luck they won't all be this slow.

Anyway, enjoy.

Who's hunting who? Chapter 5.

Anyone remember this one? More fun with Sasha and friends. Strap in for the zany. Or zane; or however you want to say it.

As for things in general... Well good news and bad news. The good news is I'm working on two good projects, one of which I can talk about and on of which I can't. The one I can talk about is an original book for Erin and co under the guise of doppler press. We discussed things and while no documents were signed in blood, I feel there is enough interest to on both our parts to go ahead. The tentative date I have on finishing the manuscript is 3 months.

The bad news is, this will inevitably slow my other stories down, as I will be working to bust the new tale out asap. This combined with the other thing will slow me down.

Oh, and for the tale, copyright Nagrij 2014-2015.

A personal history of Mutation, or how I spent my teen years. Chapter 11.

Been a little slow lately, and I have no excuse. At least, not one I can share. Anyway, have some Min! In this episode we find out Min has more to fall back on than just science.

Enjoy.

The shifting approach to adaptation, chapter 5.

Alright, so chapter 5 of this one. Fair warning, Vic turns his potty mouth up a notch. While not my style to write paragraphs of swear words, be advised there are a few sprinkled in here and there. If that type of thing doesn't offend you, enjoy.

Room in Hell chapter 18.

Well, it seems like forever doesn't it? it's only been a month. I was going to write a bit more into this one, but I decided to save it for the next chapter. In this one we have date night, with guest stars! That and a small art lesson. Look those guys I mention up if you're of a mind, they aren't bad.

A personal history of Mutation, or how I spent my teen years. Chapter 10.

So. Summer mutation 10. Otherwise known as the "dodge an issue" chapter. Min's response is not the healthiest, but she's allowed to make the mistake, right? I'm sure we've all made this one a time or two.

Anyway, enjoy!

Here there be dragons, chapter 5.

So another one from the way-back machine. There was a specific reason this one was on hold though; it has to do with two little segments involving canon characters. I debated leaving it out, but while this one is harmless the next one is used for a bit of explanation and back story. I don't like to play with other people's characters as a rule... but this just fit the story too well. I did sort of ask permission, and wasn't told I couldn't... so here we go.

With apologies to Maggie Finson and Bek D. Corbin specifically, and Whateley canon in general, here we go.

Please remember this one is a fan fiction, and if you feel the characters portrayed are a bit out of character; well, the blood moon was out. The planets aligned, and the dimensions were melting under the weight of various class X's. Choose your poison there.

On with the chapter.

Who's hunting who? Chapter 4.

Anyone remember this one? I know, I keep asking that. But I keep feeling like I need to. I should probably do something about that in fact; taking months to update a story is probably my most irritating feature as a writer. If only my muse didn't have ADHD.

Anyway, the plot thickens for Sasha.

I, monster. chapter 6.

Mary is a blast, but hard to write... So it tends to take me awhile. Enjoy the first chapter of the new year by me.

And as an aside, any recommendations or advice or help in regards to marketing or exposure would be appreciated. Seriously, I won't turn any of it down. I'm wary of Facebook however - they have a tendency to screw their users, as well as getting hacked. Sometimes both at the same time.
