I know people must be wondering about the latest story. I am still working every day! At this point I am nearing the finale; only a few more scenes left to write. Editing will have to begin then, but I do not think it will be very long.

This is now the longest Other-Terrestrial story I have written, currently sitting near 90,000 words (I estimate only because the official count includes some notes and such that will be taken out + there’s always editing). I expect it may surpass 100k by the time I’m done. I started the file for this episode on April 23rd, so about 100 days so for a novel-length work – pretty good, I think.

It is the most ambitious story to date, not only incorporating the setting and its myriad complex characters and advanced but grounded* technologies, but also extensive study (albeit amateur) of anthropology, geology, physics, and biology to create a vibrant, living world with an intelligent species with plausible society and culture, as well as a realistic world and biosphere being impacted by stellar-scale threats. It’s been a lot of effort, but including ideas that I’ve wanted to explore for many years, long before I even started Other-Terrestrial.

Well, I have little else to say. I have some other stuff coming on here, supplementary materials, that I hope to put soon.
