A lot of people have been asking when "Transistor" is going back up with rewrites.

Sorry to say, but "Transistor" is dead in the water and won't be posted.

I wrote myself into a corner, and kept trying to write my way out of that corner, but things either got TOO over the top or TOO unbelievable. After a few months, I leaned back, looked at the story, and said to myself...

"...this story doesn't need to be written."

Herman Schultz's story is over. From loser to Avenger, there's really nothing else to say. If anything, "Transistor" felt like I was cheating a bit. The Shocker won, but now I have to make him lose again to win again. While life works that way...hell, the guy deserves a happy ending.

So, I apologize for anyone waiting for a year-and-a-half for "Transistor." I might post the outline someday, but for now, imagine Herman and Ms. Marvel having a quiet cup of coffee as the snow starts to cover the sidewalks of Alphabet City.

That said...I am working on something, and I'm waiting until it's done before publishing (hopefully in Autumn 2015). But as a small teaser...
