WE'RE HEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEEE...........

AS PROMISED - YOU HAVE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ALTERNATE FHTAM STORYLINE, NOW LIVE ON THE CAFE!

There are TWO new chapters of Life Renewed live at this time ... Chapter 12, Aunt Marges Revenge, and Chapter 13, Homecoming.

Near the end of the final From Hell to Aunt Marge's chapter, Uncle Walter had to go on a trip for a couple of days ... now we find out what that trip was for, and the repercussions of what was done to Tommy by the Arizona Juvenile Justice System are beginning to reach the FO stage of FAFO. Hold on, because Uncle Walter just met new friends who take less kindly to abuse that he does - which is a feat nobody who knows him ever thought they would see.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone!

Did you follow my advice in the previous news post? I really hope so, because the roller coaster gates are opening later tonight!

That's right ... the launch of the alternate continuation of Gary Q's 'From Hell to Aunt Marges' starts within the soon-to-be posted next chapter of 'Life Renewed' - soon-to-be meaning later tonight.

As part of the posting, I'll be attempting to put up a character list to assist those unfamiliar with either story. the list will be current through the middle of Chapter 18, as that is where I'm currently working. I included characters that appear, as well as ones that have a good chance of appearing soon - so kinda big, but still useful.

I hope all of you enjoy this expansion - it is absolutely going to be a fun ride!

Believe it or not, I'm still alive and kicking. While I may not have been posting, I have been writing when I get the chance, and I've got a backlog of things to brighten your day!

Very soon, I'll be starting the catching up of chapters in multiple stories. I'll be starting with the most difficult story arc I've ever done, and it happens in Life Renewed.

A little history first for those not aware ... over a decade ago, one of the original founders of the Fort Family that we are part of today vanished from any form of contact. That author was Gary Q, and to this day those of us that knew him still worry about what may have happened.

There was a story that Gary had started called "From Hell to Aunt Marges" - a story that was left with the mother of all cliffhangers. None of us felt it would be right to just try to finish it, as nobody knew where it was going for sure. A few months ago, I had an idea - what would happen if we took the end and did alternate timelines? (An idea which Multimapper has used quite effectively) After discussion between myself and Jeff P, then more discussion between all of us that run things in the background to this day, we decided that as long as it was made clear that this isn't the continuation of the story, but one of the possibilities of what could have happened, it would give a chance for the characters to move on and grow.

With that decided, I got to work, adopting the version of Gary's characters that could have fell into the CSU timeline. In the process, what started as a small effort to honor the work of Gary has turned into a major plot change which will rock the entire CSU multiverse. As of the next chapter that I post of "Life Renewed", the alternate timeline of "From Hell to Aunt Marges" will be entering the Universe.

While I have done my best to keep it so that readers can understand the basics, I really think that reading "From Hell to Aunt Marges" is a really good idea, as reading the actual events gives a better insight into later reactions. Either way, the AI Annex in Montana is about to find out that reality is getting ready to receive a shock treatment from Arizona ... and the world will discover what happens when the Benton family and the Short family merge their resources ...

You can find Gary's stories on most of the original Fort Family Sites, as well as at https://garysgarden.us  - either way, it is worth the read.

Watch for an update soon;

Hugzz,

Just so everyone is aware, the editor software that is used by sites to make posts appears to have drank too much moonshine. At this time, posting of new chapters may or may not work - we have notified our IT department head, and will give you an update once we know more.

Update:

We know more! It was a small issue that was pretty easily fixable. You may now post away! :)

Hey all!

I'm still around - and while I have 5 chapters of CSV-DSM written, I've been having to go back and make a few adjustments in them (Mainly names). Once I'm sure I've got those fixed, I will start posting them. I've had to do a lot of research for this story arc, so it is taking longer to make sure it's not only realistic, but still fits within story canon of the CSU in general.

When you see what the little rats got into this time, you'll understand just what I have went through!

See ya soon;

Hey all!

Just to give you a boost, I decided to go ahead and let the next chapter go live! I really think you'll like it - I think the chapter's subtitle pretty much says it all ....

CSV-DSM Part 2, Chapter 22: "Please Pass the Romulan Ale" is now LIVE!
