I figured I'd follow Admiral Krunch's lead and update my two fans.

While kicking around ideas for the Christmas contest, I finally got unblocked. I'm still a little slow, so my Christmas story isn't finished yet; I'll backburner it and sit on it when it's finished until next Christmas. But I've also gotten inspired to try a Valentine story, and it's already about half done.

However, I also know that I've left the readers of my serial hanging for far too long. So the restriction I'm giving myself is that I won't publish my Valentine story until after I've released Episode 24 of Stephanie's Deal, even if that means I miss the contest deadline.

Once again I apologize to both my readers for making you wait so long. How overdue is Stephanie 24? In the story the Superduper Tuesday primary votes are just being counted, and it's still unclear if Obama or Clinton will be the nominee, although McCain is close to having the nomination locked.
