Working Hard...

Well then.

As you  know, I've been writing. Writing, writing, writing. You don't get to do an awful lot of other things when you're writing. Well, sometimes you do, but not when you have deadlines like these. The short stories I'm writing, all of them, need to be delivered by Wednesday. The first draft of Book Nine needs to be delivered by the middle of next month.

To say I am a tad busy would be something of an understatement.

Of course, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and why would Jack want to be a dull boy? I've been doing things. Reading things. Watching things.

Take this evening, for instance. This evening I watched the last Sherlock of the current season. The first episode of the season was oddly character-driven, at the expense of the central mystery, but I didn't mind that in the least. The second episode, the wedding episode, was hilariously sublime. And the final episode, having Sherlock face off against a truly unique villain... well. It was just wonderful stuff.

And I've been reading. Stephen King, mostly. Going over his early works. His classics. When I was a kid, I went straight from The Three Investigators and the Hardy Boys to Stephen King and these wonderfully violent and detailed Gold Eagle books like The Executioner and Able Team and Phoenix Force, books that gave you diagrams of the weapons they used at the back of the book. Basically, I graduated from kids books to horror and action. And after a few Stephen King books like Cujo (the first King book I can remember reading) I went on to James Herbert and Shaun Hutson — overtly violent and brilliantly horrific.

And now, after all this time, I'm going back to Stephen King, and loving it all.

Recommendations? Read The Stand. Then read It. Two MASSIVE books. You won't be sorry.

So these things have been my break from the writing. Christmas, for me, was mostly about the short stories. But there was one story...

It started off fine. Exactly as I planned. It would be a new kind of story, something I hadn't really tried before. It would probably end up as one of the longer stories of the collection, though, but not by much.

I thought.

I have just finished it. Half an hour ago, I finished it. At the moment, before edits, it is over 20,000 words long. That's twice as long as The End of the World. So you'll be reading through Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!), and hopefully enjoying the stories, and then you'll get to this brand new novella, a good, solid chunky story, and I think this story alone will make the collection worth the money.

I think. I hope. Right now I'm far too tired to form a coherent opinion. All I know is, I've been working hard. And it's not over yet.

What did you do????

Why should-
Are you-
*sets down his coffee*
I certainly didn't do anything, Adra.

@Zaf: :)

Hi Dragona! :)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Hullo, Dragona!)

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Star! I've posted MORE screenshots, and these are my favourites so far. Just because well... you'll see. If you want to, that is. ^^

Noelle said...

Hey Dragona, how are you?

Ay, me either, Zaf.

*Leans forward, peering closely at his eyes*




You're lying.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*pushes Adra away with one finger*
Now you listen here,
I didn't do anything, alright? She-
*aggressively starts wiping off his hands*

Gary: *in a very tiny voice* It's true. OSCAR didn't do anything.

*hisses* Shhh!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Maybe I'll do some Zavel

Noelle said...

Fine then, you don't have to tell me. I'll just have to ask her myself later.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*bitterly* If she ever bothers to come back.

Gary: Oz-

It's not too much to ask, is it?

Emerald Melody said...

*Tate was coming back up into the treehouse. He had gone to see what state the lake was in and was relieved that it was heading slowly back down the shore. When he arrived back up into the treehouse, the corpse was gone. It tethers broken.

Tate began whimpering and as he rushed to find out where he had gone. Suddenly he was thrown against the wall of the treehouse and the corpse has its hand tightly around the wolf's throat. It hissed visciously, it's grip held tightly, keeping the wolf pinned still.

The corpse was beginning to look like Lorcan again slightly but there was still parts of it that were decomposed and falling away. It's stare was deathly as anything and some of it's flesh was scabbing over with silver.

Tate tried to scratch at the corpse, to try and get it to let go but the more he moved, the more the corpse squeezed onto his throat. He could do nothing but whimper and yelp when the grip got too tight.*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Nelnah just looked at my poem and said it was Python 2, and she can help me write in Python 3.

EEEEEEEEEE

Dragona Pine said...

I'm good. I've modded Skyrim quite a lot more and then I've also spammed cheese everywhere and thrown an elk at a giant.

I have lots of screenshots up, if any of you are interested. They're VERY random, from TARDIS', to giants, to midget dragons, to cheese... and lots of cheese.

Star Inkbright said...

That's what I spend my time doing.

Dragona Pine said...

Adra, no, cheese is all good. There's not MUCH cheese... I could have done MORE...

Dragona Pine said...

I mean... now a random road near a tower will just have some cheese scattered in some places, but it was worth it.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I . . . I don't want to see her.
I certainly don't want you to psycho-analytically make her do something.
She can apologize in her own time.

More cheese.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*coughs*
Ugh.
Never doing that again.

Levitating cheese...

I really need to get morer credit on my phone so I can come here during the day . . .

*remembers nobody's online then* Ah.

But still. Ranting. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Don't get too excited, Star.
I intend to cause much pain and suffering.)

Star Inkbright said...

*more

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

JESUS, DRAGONA

-

*Smiles, and finishes her coffee* *Looks rather smug*
*Doesn't seem to take notice of Gary's staring and, if so, doesn't comment*

Noelle said...

Ay, Star :P

The Grave of a Coward said...

*frustratedly mops up the spilled coffee*
May I ask you a question?

Gary: Sure.

Not you.

Dragona Pine said...

Adra, just... on the PC you can spawn stuff. Yes, I've tried making dragon armies. Yes, I've made armies of undead skeletons. Yes, I've made armies of giants and werewolves and trolls and had a huge battle between fifty werewolves and fifty master vampires.

When you've done all that, what else is there?

Cheese.

I spawn cheese.


My next task is to fill the tower full of cheese...

Star Inkbright said...

@Annika: Hmm.

. . .

Well, it wouldn't be a good story without pain and suffering, I guess. :)

But on second thoughts, I shouldn't come here during the day. If I was reading aforementioned pain and suffering during lunchtime, my friends might get incredibly worried about me. :P

More worried than they already are, I mean. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: *laughs* I know I can't really speak about obsession, but ummmm . . . you may have a cheesy problem here. :)

#ChaseForBooknine

(I will try to provide the pain and suffering tomorrow evening, but no promises.)

That's my character on Skyrim. Despite the awesome helmet and the N7 Mass Effect armour, I'm actually an elf.

Noelle said...

Of course, Oscar.

-
Dragona, I have no words.
I actually don't know what to do.
I just

what.

Dragona Pine said...

Star, it's Skyrim's problem now. :P

There are other screenshots too if you're interested. Some NOT about cheese.

Dragona Pine said...

Adra, I even killed a chicken by accident (misplaced lightning spell... long story), and then I was chased by some guards and some residents of a city (overreaction). I decided spawning some trolls in the middle of the city was a good distraction whilst I made my escape.

The city has barely any residents, now.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Am I . . . likable?

Gary: *snorts*

Silence, man-cub.

Gary: *silences*

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: You actually THINK about something other than cheese? *frowns, confused*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Dragona- so you're one of the Loki players, right? Liking to play god :P

Dragona Pine said...

I even have a TARDIS.

Noelle said...

*She straightens her smile, looking suddenly serious*

Of course, Oscar.

Dragona Pine said...

I am a god on Skyrim, yes. I can never die. I can cast spells which disintegrate people. I can travel across the map in a TARDIS. I am an elf wearing armour from Mass Effect, who can spawn anything he wants. I have a bow and arrow which does over 17 million damage, and a spell which does 9999999999999999 damage EACH second.


I'm unstoppable. Mwahahahaha.


And what is a god to do? Spawn cheese.

Dragona Pine said...

That's all I use my powers for. Spawning cheese, and creating battles that I don't take a part in xD

The Grave of a Coward said...

Yes . . . that's what I hoped you'd say.
*finishes his coffee*
. . . Am I lovable, though?
I mean . . . do you think she loves me?
At all?

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: You'rrrrrrrrre INDESTRUCTIBLE. :)

Well, at least your worshippers will never get hungry. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

I don't have a worshipper, actually. I just kill those who believe in anything else...

A guy was insulting elves, so I lifted him up using a spell and threw him into the air. He's never come back down, yet.

Noelle said...

*Starts shouting Disturbed*
-
Of course I do, Oscar. Of course.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Maybe gravity doesn't like him. :)

And - um. Good way of doing it?

#ChaseForBookNine

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . . Hm.

Dragona Pine said...

I'm better behaved than the Daedra Skyrim actually have, which are pretty much gods. I don't go and torment and kill people. I just throw them up in the air. And spawn cheese everywhere.

Star Inkbright said...

DISTURBED. <3

((Why am I not in this roleplay conversation? I have opinions to state.

Oh, yes. Homework.

*sadly disappears over a wilting horizon*))

Well, it might not make you go insane. It has CUTE tiny dragons, cheese, giants, elks, etc.

Noelle said...

*Waves to Star*
-
I've explained this to you many times, Oscar. You know the answer. Of course she loves you.

Star Inkbright said...

((My sister was wondering the other day how the I Like Trains Kid managed to propose to his fiancée.
I suppose he must have just, you know, held a ring out and smiled.))

Hah.
*slowly waves the waitress over for another latte*

Would you like to know what I discovered yesterday?

Noelle said...

That's true, Star.

Would you like me to like to know?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Maybe.
*gestures to Gary*

Gary: *hands him his man-purse*

*opens it*
*pulls out a white lab coat*
*frustratedly pushes it into her arms*
Read the name.
The name on the cuff.

Noelle said...

*Glances at him, then the name*

...
So?

The Grave of a Coward said...

So?
*angrily drinks coffee*
That's Hershel Coin's lab coat.
She's been wearing Hershel bloody Coin's lab coat for the past century.

Noelle said...

Yeahhhhh?

Emerald Melody said...

*The corpse snaps it's neck as if relieving a knot of stress. It hisses again. In one swift movement it snaps Tate's neck and let the wolf drop to the floor.

It then walks down to the lake of silver. It doesn't go in, instead it just dips its fingers into the metallic liquid and it starts weaving in and out of the corpses fingers. The silver works it way up the corpse's body. The corpse breathes in a sigh of relief as suddenly it squirms out of what looks like an old shell.

Standing where the corpse used to be is Lorcan*

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . . Never mind.
*false smile*
Not important.
Not important that every time I've kissed her, touched her, hugged her, anything, she's been wearing that coat.
Not important.
*slams the coffee down on the table*
Gary, I'll be at the office if you need me.
Lots of paperwork to be done.
*storms out of the shop*

Gary: . . . Eep.

Agreed, Star.

Thirteen? That IS unlucky. :/

OI! Thirteen is my lucky number, watch it.

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Kerias.

I have always found thirteen to be my lucky number.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)

Having no more orthodontic appointments is wonderful!!! :)

(Although, you know, not ALL intents and purposes. Like, Hershel Coin's intents and purposes.)

#ChaseForBooknine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra and Sir: Thirteen is also, in this context, a LARGE number. Which, in this context, is unlucky. :)

I like the number thirteen. It's better than the number fourteen. I never really liked being fourteen. Being fifteen is nice, although every now and then I go HOW THE HELL DID I GET SO OLD and start doubting that I actually am fifteen for a second. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Hah.

Sir, I don't remember if I've asked you, but what's your astrological sign?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sir said...

I have no idea, Ms. Dark.

Noelle said...

That's wonderful, Zaf!

Sir- Er, when is your birthday?

Sir said...

Ms. Dark, as I said before, I have no idea. My writer has not thought of that information yet.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

My lucky number is twelve...

Thirteen wasn't very nice to me.

Noelle said...

Well then, what is the birthdate of your writer?

Noelle said...

Though, I think Pisces would be fitting

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: Aw. :/

Twelve can be nice too. :) It's a unique kind of number, if you think about it.

I don't know when Hunter's birthday is. -_-

I think it's because I always want my characters to have September birthdays. :P

Like, pretty much all of them. XD

@Zaf: I KNOW THE FEELING! *throws confetti* Yay! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(January 25th

Noelle said...

You should do that, Star.

Actually.

Really, do that.

Star Inkbright said...

Plus . . . I always think of birthdays in school-year terms. :P And how old you would be compared to the rest of the year. And what's going on at that time of year - and I always think of what's going on in the terms of school years. And stuff . . .

Does anyone else see the year as a circle?

I do. :)

And September is sort of in the top-left corner (if, say, they had corners.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Sir said...

Well, my writer is a Leo.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Do what?

@Zaf: My Blogversary is two days before your birthday. :)

And my circle of a year is a bit wonked. Like, there's a big long path from down here in January up to June in the summer. Although it sort of depends on how you look at the circle, really. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Twelve is awesome, because it's so evenly divisible by things...

Also it's rather summery, which is always good.

I assigned most of my characters birthdays... Except Fabi. I can't find a birthday that fits Fabi.

Because the number has to be right, and the season has to fit...

And tbh, I'm picky.

Noelle said...

I don't, really. But that's an interesting way to think of it, Star :P I see it as a ruler.

Sir- interesting... Leo's a good group, I think my father is one. So... late summer? Cool!

I still think you should be a Pisces. And join the club.

Actually
http://zodiac-signs-astrology.com/

is a really good website, if you two(?) are still looking for a birthday

there must be birthdays


everyone must have a birthday

it
is
REQUIRED.

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: I know what you mean. :) Things like birthdays have to sort of CLICK. And if it doesn't then it just doesn't work. :/

Twelve is. :) Like twenty-four. Which is double twelve. Double double this this, double double that that.

Twelve divides by one and twelve and two and six and three and four and THAT'S ALL THE WHOLE NUMBERS and yeah. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Make all the birthdays in the same month, Star!

Fabi- that is true, Twelve is a good number... I personally like not being divisible, and odd :P

Sir said...

Not entirely, Ms. Dark.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: A ruler? *looks interested* *because I am interested* *I just kind of felt the need to show my expression there* Really? But then how do you decide when the ruler begins and ends?

My years have been a circle for pretty much as long as I can remember. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs* It would be cool, but birthdays have to CLICK. :/

I don't mind being divisible. I like not being equal, though.

"I am all, but what am I?
Another number that isn't equal to any of you
I control, but I comply
Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces
I'M UNEVEN!"

Noelle said...

It goes off the end, down the other side, and back again :P

Sir- Well, you and I are obviously very different. And everyone should have a day dedicated to them. A break day. It'd be cool. And celebrations.
I dunno... Maybe I just like making people happy.

Emerald Melody said...

-IN THE REAL WORLD-

*Lorcan gasps as he wakes up. He thinks he's going to throw up. He quickly jumps out of the bed and runs to the toilet. As he closes the door, he then feels fine... until he catches his reflection in the mirror.

His dark brown eye colour is now silver. His hazel brown hair is silver as well. He doesn't look sick or dying anymore, he looks healthy and seems strong. Lorcan straightens up and doesn't feel any pain.

He lifts his t-shirt up and sees that his scars are nothing but silver scar lines now. As he's looking at his reflection, he knows it doesn't look anything like him but he smirks. He kinda likes it*

Noelle said...

hi Snow!

Em- NO

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Stormberg.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: That sounds really cool. O_O

*would hit younger self for not thinking of that, but that would be child abuse :P*

@Adra: Liking making people feel happy is an amazing trait to have. :) Then again, you're amazing. :)

(Hmm. There's this song stuck in my head and it was whispering "You're amazing" whilst I wrote that. XD
It's a bit of a creepy song, really. :P))

Fabi- there is such a thing as being born at the wrong time?

Snow said...

I think im in love with my profile pic. XD

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan splashes some water on his face, seeing if it really is just a dream. He painfully pokes at his eyes so see if the silver is contact lenses and he runs his hands through his hair to see if it is just paint or something.

Nothing happens. It all apparently belongs to him now.

He dries his face off as he unlocks the bathroom door. He takes a deep breath and then walks out into the bedroom.*

Snow said...

Hmmm quite, star. ((What? Nooooooo..... I'm not impersonating sir..... noooooooo))

Noelle said...

Also Fabi- it depends on if you're a cusp birthday or not (if you're a few days around the turn of a new sign)

Star Inkbright said...

@Snow: *laughs* XD

#ChaseForBooknine

Snow said...

...

Indeed.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

It would have made sense if if had a cusp birthday, but no.

Hm...

Gtg shortly.

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan goes to his bag and starts digging around in it.*

Lorcan: Phone, phone, where's my goddamn phone...


*He finds it and starts to text*

Hey Adra, if u r near my room, cud u plz cme and c me. I hve 2 show u smething.

Noelle said...

Okay, Fabi!

-

*Stares at the text and is appalled by his grammar* Oh good gracious, I'm going to have a headache.

*Sighs, and gets up, going to a backroom and making a portal, slipping through it to Camp Wolf, and appearing near Lorcan*
*Looking at her phone*
You're not serious about your spelling, are you? This is horrendous.

Star Inkbright said...

Lol, I was reading this book once, and the author did NOT know how to txtspk. It was kind of funny.

Seriously. Who the hell says "Go 2 go"? You either use proper English or you use the abbreviation. :P

(However, if she'd used true txtspk, you wouldn't have got the emotions and the tone from the conversation, so . . . *shrugs*)

(and that's partially what I hate about txtspk)

(the second thing I hate it that it hurts my brain. XD)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs* XD

*"Got 2 go"

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan smiles and kind just waits to see Adra's reaction.*

Lorcan: I'm sorry, I was in a hurry.

Noelle said...

Sir's going to politely kill you.

No, he bit my side once before, ages ago.
You don't want to be bitten by that shark.
It's scary.

Snow said...

...

I shall continue until he comments or until I leave, Ms Dark

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan shrugs slightly, he's worried about the look that Adra is giving him.*

Lorcan: I told you I had to show you something.

Noelle said...

Even the ellipsis.

I'm waiting for him to come on and sprout the entire English dictionary.

There is a slight problem, Snow.
He is a gentleman.
You are a gentlewoman.
He, er... Is a shark.
You are a human.
Er...


Let's see...





Roget is his bible.
Er,
I don't know what book is your bible.

(Bible, in this case, being a term used for a book of great worship, not the Christian bible)

Noelle said...

You don't say, you're... Silver!

Sir said...

*sighs*

Snow said...

I quite understand the differences, Ms Dark, but I shall still continue with this. I do try to finish what I start, even if I do indeed run the risk of being metaphorically killed.

Noelle said...

^That works as well.

Snow, I think he is subtly trying to show annoyance.

Emerald Melody said...

(No Zaf, you can come in. Pretend that Alexis had gone for something to eat and is coming back to the room)


Lorcan: I know!!! I woke up like this.

Snow said...

*bows slightly* and now, I'm done.

*slowly sidles away from sir*

Noelle said...

*Frowns* Interesting, Lorcan...

Very


Interesting.

Sir said...

Ms. Stormberg, I shall hardly kill you metaphorically. To do so would be horribly rude.

Figuratively killing you, however, is entirely feasible.

Snow said...

Yes, well... I was struggling to find the right word. Being you is incredibly hard.

Emerald Melody said...

Lorcan: I'm glad I'm interesting to you Adra but in all the seriousness...

What the fuck happened!!!!!

Noelle said...

*Is laughing*

*Quite a lot*

Again, he once bit me in half. Keep that in mind, Snow.

Noelle said...

*Shrugs* I don't know.. But, you look fine to me...

Snow said...

I am actually smiling. It's quite early in the morning for me to smile. Bit thats what this place does to me. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: holy hell what happened? (Sorry wbd on phone

Emerald Melody said...

Lorcan: That's not the point Adra. Something happened in the last 12 hours and suddenly I'm the fucking Silver Surfer!!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

OH MY GOD. I JUST GOT MY SSAT SCORES BACK(a test like the SAT, but for private highschools).

AND I GOT IN THE NINETY NINTH PERCENTILE OVERALL. WITH PERFECT SCORES IN READING AND VERBAL. WHICH MEANS THAT I GET A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO THIS ONE PRIVATE HIGHSCHOOL I APPLIED TO.

I AM FREAKING OUT SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

Noelle said...

Silver Surfer, heh...

Emerald Melody said...

Lorcan: Oh... Lexi! Um, there is an explanation somewhere about what happened but I dunno what it is. And yeah...

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. LeStarre.
Congratulations.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Thanks Star and Snow!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*is cuddled* Yay.

Sir, did you get any of the flooding on Friday, or are you too far away?

Emerald Melody said...

Lorcan: It's still me Lexi, I'm still me just...

Something happened.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hey Em! *waves*

Snow said...

I g2g eat, bye! *hugs all*

Noelle said...

Bye Snow!

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Stormberg.

Thankfully, my author managed to avoid any flooding, Ms. LeStarre.

Star Inkbright said...

I MAY HAVE FOND A WAY TO PREVENT THE SUICIDE!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I also need to go to sleep now. Fours. :/

Goodnight, Star!


That, Sir, is distinctly unfair. We got between 17 and 22 inches on Thursday night. of course, it did mean that school was canceled, which was pretty awesome.

Anonymous said...

Twenty thousand words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Oh, and bye Snow!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hey, Etalihinna!

Emerald Melody said...

(HEY KESSIE!!!!!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR TEST RESULTS!!! WOOP!!!!)


Lorcan: Adra seriously...

Please, help me figure out what happened. Why am I like this??

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Thanks Em!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Excellent! First! Yes! *tries to think of what to ded to*

Noelle said...

*Pauses* Well... It's a reaction. Of the silver. Is there anything else different?

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

I don't even know. Um.

I dedicate this page to Season 4 of Sherlock not taking nearly as long to put on the air, as well as January 19 getting here faster.

Um, and I dedicate to the people whose houses and cars and stuff were damaged by the not-entirely-sure-if-it-qualifies-as-a-flood, in the hopes that they'll be able to recover their property.

Yeah.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: I see...*smiles* Looks matter not its who you are

Noelle said...

Kessie, want me to send you the episodes through links? :P

*Raises glass*
Hear hear!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Adra, I've seen the Empty Hearse and the first maybe 20 minutes of The Sign of Three. Its more an issue of time than of actually having the episodes.

Thanks, though. :)
