Welcome to the Second Age. Enjoy your stay.I stopped there because I ran out of outline. I'm trying to keep this 'season' fast and loose, flowing and improvisational -- but there is a method to the madness. Here's the game plan.
We'll be following two different runs. "The Second Age" consists of short stories within the universe of anachronauts, which may or may not involve members of the core cast. New friends and enemies will abound, new places to visit. We'll see how the world is developing as Queen Emily makes the push for peace with her neighbors.
The first "sa" (second age) story also kicks off "The Explorers," which is in the traditional novel/chapter format, telling one complete story. Technically, sa01 is the first chapter of The Explorers as well, or rather, its prologue... the series will have our anachronauts splitting away from the court of Queen Emily, to explore the world, starting with the mysterious sealed lands of Westusa.
Now, as I noted in an earlier LJ post, my November is gonna be PACKED with activity. I don't know how much writing I'll get done. But I have plans, I have passion, and we are in for a wild ride no matter how fast or slow I get it done. Stay tuned.
Feedback on sa01 welcome, of course! Even if it's just "YAY!". I'll never turn aside a good yay. (Even if I do like more, generally.)
