Very, Very Good News!
First Item: I received a number of notes from potential stock models willing to take part. My thanks to everyone who considered it, noted me, and expressed interest. My thanks to those who have sent photos. Further, at least one of them is sticking it out and eager to get moving quickly enough that I'll have what I need for the Seventh Chapter, "Coils of Fate," which I should be starting around the New Year, or maybe before!
Second Item: Given that a number of stock models responded to my plea, I am going to try to use some of the others' photos to illustrate Valerin, Avora, and Maladyne in their past pages. No need to worry about me re-doing every page--the variety of faces in the potential stock models leads me to believe that I should be able to match a lot of what already exists and make only slight alterations here and there based on new stock photos. There are faces of Valerin in "Rats" and Avora in "Plot" that appear inconsistent with their general looks, and these are the ones I'm going to work on.
Also, I will not be replacing the old files here in my DA gallery, although I will probably post the new versions as well.
Third Item: With the help of three fellow deviants, the following chapters' narratives are complete and in my hands: "Rats in the Cellar," "Twisted Plot," and "Vision Impaired." I just got "Vision Impaired" today (thirty minutes ago, actually), and it's wonderful! So fun to read someone else's take on events that I've outlined with pictures--especially when that take is well-written!
I have it on good authority that "Fair Harvest" is also well-underway, and I believe I have a writer set up to do "Catcall" when the illustrations are done. Of course, there will be a bit of editing required at the end to make the narratives and illustrations consistent, but not too much, which can be chalked up to the good writing skills of those involved. I need to thank you three who have completed work, and you know who you are.
Fourth Item: I've got things set up pretty well to keep going until "Coils of Fate" is complete, which should be this coming February. Assuming that goes as planned, I should be putting together some kind of publication right after that. It will require some more writing, and so if any writers are inclined to tackle "Bare Necessities" and/or "Coils of Fate," please let me know. I have already spoken with a couple of people about it, and I'd just as soon they be allowed a stab at it, but one or more of them might not work out, so please note me if you have an interest. I'll catch up with the other hopefuls before anything is committed.
That ought to do for now.
