"Speaking With Your Demons" wraps up.

My fantasy cum sci-fi story, "Speaking With Your Demons" wrapped up yesterday. While I got a lot of responses early on, the responses faded away over time (I guess too few plot surprises), so I was happy to see the scores jump after the conclusion.

This was an especially confusing posting, since I was posting different stories to different sites (SOL, Sci-Fi and FS) on different schedules. I'm not sure I'll be stupid enough to try that again!

My next story, A House in Disarray, is ready to go, though I'll probably wait at least a month for the other stories to conclude and give me time to finish off my next story, "Lost With Nothing to Lose", Not-Quite Human part 2.

Just an extensive side note, for those interested. I was trying to post a comprehensive box set of my six-book Catalyst series, but was never happy with how it was turning out. I finally decided to bite the bullet and revise the entire series.

What this means, is that I'll probably unpublish the entire series, and possibly remove the stories from SOL, though I haven't decided on that yet. As such, you may want to grab the books or save the SOL series if you want to preserve it.

The revision is going to be a multi-year effort, so it won't happen overnight. But I'll probably remove the books early to help foster interest in the series before it's ready to post.

The revision won't change much plot-wise, but will remove the various story bloat (threads that don't ultimately lead anywhere), and update the writing to my current standards. However I also plan to temper the unrelenting harem motif. There will still be quite a few sex scenes (the character's advancements are largely triggered by acts of intimacy), however most of the group sex scene will likely get cut, and the sexual progression will be slower. So far, the stories are almost 50% shorter, without losing ANY plot detail, which is pretty substantial.
