Thank you for such a thorough update!

May I make a small request, though? Could you possibly announce the writing contest earlier, so there's more time to submit something? I would love to participate but I just don't work that fast.

Yes! Good call. This last time I kinda just dove in--hoping to give some runway this time around.

ALSO--I know you asked the first time around, tentative plan is for all the stories to be 2000 words, with the difficulty adjusted by how many words +/- are allowed. Expecting a 4000 word story in less than a week was unwise and I got lots of (DESERVED) comments about burnout, so I definitely want to avoid that! More to come on this for sure!

Yeah, I could probably get a 2k story written and edited in 2-3 weeks, although 3 would be better. I just work really slow, unfortunately.

Congrats on everything so far! 2024 looks like a busy year for both of us.

I have a note to do a story for an old-man version of CHM that you can voice: General Grumpily Geriatric shall ride again!

Very excited for the anthology! And, if I can manage it, the writing comp. Lots to look forward to.
