Gee, now I want to watch the Craig Bond movies again. Maybe all the Bond movies. Except for the one with George Lazenby; that wasn't fun. But anyway.
I loved this serial: I loved DB, Black Zaelland, James and Tyrone, the whole cast. I don't think you did anything wrong with Bridgett re: with us not trusting her; for me at least, in noir-type stories I don't trust anyone. :) So that could be an audience expectation problem rather than an author issue. And you handled the BZ situation with James really well; it felt the most realistic, if that's the right word, for the story. Well done, you. :)
I must confess, I actually thought you had the story wrapped up in the confrontation episode. It was cool to get an epilogue for the characters though!
I really enjoyed reading this post-op! I'm a sucker for any "behind the scenes" or "the making of." It felt like when I would watch a movie on DVD and then watch the featurette. Well done!
Writing with a buffer of episodes is a good idea! (And I don’t say that just because I also write with a buffer...) Very much enjoyed this retrospective, I always love reading an authors thoughts about what worked and what didn’t for them.
You did good. If I might make a suggestion for the next one.
Write every day, but post it in parts.
I started out writing and posting on the same day, but I didn't really feel comfortable with my serial until I didn't have to worry about getting behind.
First here

THANK YOU so much Michael!
Bregenz!!!!!! Wow great reflections. I thoroughly enjoyed this series!
Glad you enjoyed SF! Can't wait to write more!

LOL from the beginning I knew I wanted Mack to ride off into the sunset so all this was just a pretense to get him to change locations 😂
That was as fun to read as the serial itself, Scoot. Thanks for the shout out and for filling in the blank in my comment!
Thank you so much for reading!
