Um, yeah... so it's been a while since I updated this and, sadly, there hasn't been a heck of a lot of progress re-write wise. Far less than I would have liked.

But I do have some news for you all. I'm moving camp to AO3 (link-y).Now, this doesn't mean I won't still be posting the re-write here once it's done (I will) and when I have every intention of at least posting the rest of the "Baby Steps" series here when it gets written but beyond that... AO3 will get first dibs (if not exclusivity) for any new material not "Baby Steps" related.

First profile post of the new year! Woot!

Anyway, not much to say, the next (ish) shapter for the "Baby Steps" series is up. As mentioned in numerous places, it's set between the end of "Some Frienemy Advice" and "Why". Next up is the re-write on why but, because I am utterly hopeless when the muse strikes (and when it runs away) I will be posting bits and pieces of a new story, "A Touch Of Starlight" over on my tumblr as and when bits are completed. Don't worry, I hope to bring it over to eventually but with my primary focus on finishing up "Baby Steps" right now, I don't want to start posting AToS here only to leave it un-touched for months on end while I'm busy working on "Why" and the still untitled Book 3.

Chapter 24 is up, and with that, "Some Frienemy Advice" completes its journey (and celebrates its first birthday). For more, please see the footnotes for this chapter.

03 12 2011 (Dec 3rd, 2011)

Chapter 23 is up (and this update should have been posted hours ago, sorry). Work has begun on chapter 24 as has the re-write of "Why" so those of you who like it as it is, should start downloading. Hopefully you'll enjoy the new version every bit as much, if not more, than the original. That said, in going over "Why" (so far, just to apply the 'official' formating (which will have to be added to SFA at some point as well)) I've notice several sections that will need to be either extensively re-written of removed it is there will be at least one major change, the current Chapter 16 of "Why" will become the first chapter of the as yet untitled 3rd book in the "Baby Steps" series (Chapter 2 is also under construction). I'll be writing a new 'Interstitial Epilogue" to bridge the divide between Books 2 and 3 (As I will be writing one (or more) to bridge books 1 and 2)

That all said, Chapter 24 is the primary goal and once the new formatting has been applied to "Why", chapter 24 will be the focus of my, well... focus. I'm hoping to have it ready within a week, two at most. By a strange quirk of fate, that could mean the final chapter of SFA get's posted on or about one year to the day that the first chapter of either Why or SFA was posted. N ot a bad way to celebrate an anniversary.

At present, the first chapter of Book 3 (title suggestions welcome) probably won't happen until the new year (though the first chapter, as it's already written more or less, may get posted if the re-write of Why goes fairly quickly) nor will, in all likely hood, the new interstitials.

Either way, A happy holidays and a merry new year to all of you. As always, Enjoy :D

Chapter 22 is posted (or should be) I'm sure a few typos slipped through so if you find them, let me know. Chapter 23 should be up tomorrow. After that, there should be one more chapter to wrap things up. At least for SFA proper. There will be (at least) one 'interstitial' between the end of SFA and the start of Why. After that, I'll be working on the re-edit of why and, once that's done, I'll be starting on book three of the 'Baby steps' 'verse. (sfa and Why being books 1 and 2 respectively)

09 11 2011 (Nov 9th, 2011)

Surprise! I'm Back. Just finished uploading and prepping chapter 22 of "Some Frienemy Advice". I won't be posting it just yet as I want to get chapter 23 ready but I fully expect chapter 23 to be ready within a week, 2 tops, so expect both before the end of the month.

That's all for not. Not a huge update but, hey, at least it's an update.

03 06 2011 (Jun 3rd, 2011)

Chapter 19 is up (At last!) so go and read it. Chapter 20 is well under way so, fingers crossed, it might actually get posted on time (shocker). Apologies all around for the delay with this chapter and thanks all around for waiting it out with me. Much appreciated. For the record, and I meant to put this in the Author's notes so consider yourself privy to some exclusive info if you're one of the few who check here for updates, I figure there's about 3-5 more chapters to SFA proper and then there will be one or two interstitial pieces to bridge the gap between the end of SFA and the start of "Why".

At that point, I'll start the re-write on Why so again, if you like Why as it is, download yourself a copy soon (or wait till SFA is done, I think I might put the ODT copy I have on both up somewhere for download, maybe even do up a pdf, html, and/or epub version (so if anyone out there want's to do up some sort of "cover" art, please do.
