Sadly, I fear there will not be a follow-on chapter for this as I have been unable to reach Lady Cat for some time. If this changes, we will post and I will let you know.

I have been away dealing with some RL issues, both business and personal. Considering the state of my life, I do not know if I will have the time or inclination to continue my open stories. Regarding co-authored works, I have been out of touch with the co-authors as well. Will update if this changes...

TOC and Introduction Chapter One Chapter Two: Galen awakened with a start, the images still fresh in his mind, but confused, jumbled. The only clear picture he had was that of the goat man. Cloven hooves for feet on strong, powerful legs, and the head and neck of a large goat set on the shoulders o...

I miss his writing. I didn't know him very well beyond that, but he also was the only writer to contribute to '12 Heroines of Christmas' besides myself, having contributed the Mary Marvel chapter.

Prologue Chapter One Aponolus looked around, noting the woman almost instantly. He nudged Galen forwards. “It is you that she waits for. Be a good fellow and introduce us.” The nudge actually moved Galen some five feet closer to the young woman with the infant in her arms, attracting her attention....

Not easy to see where all this is going and another good cliff hanger. The glaring question in all this: where is Mnemosyne?

I've no doubt that we shall soon learn what is to come. Strictly top drawer stuff, Doc.

Thank you, DrD.

Prologue

Silence reigned on the mist covered bank of the Acheron. Like those around him, Galen of Gortyn studied that mist. Thick and cloying, sticking to all it touched... like a shroud... it was... almost alive... an entity in itself. He fought down a sudden attack of nerves. He was here to serve the gods,...

Chapter One: Homecoming Nicolette LaCroix idly ran her fingers along the banister, her face relaxed in pleasant memories.

Thank you for your reply. These little notes make the effort of writing and then refining the story into a readable form worthwhile to me. Thanks much.

You may not know this but, when I post a story, I check on it almost every day. I look at the views and I read any replies so that, if warranted, I can respond to them quickly. After posting the first chapter of my most recent collaborative effort, I was rather surprised by the welcome back notes an...

dravatar

So very glad that you enjoyed the beginning of what will be, I hope, more to come. Thanks also for pointing out the erratic grammar. Now I'm gonna have to go and re-read the work. No, it was not deliberate, at least I don't think so. Probably just a result of I didn't go over it like a grammar nazi!...

I finally got caught up and can think of only one word to describe it. Amazing! My gratitude, Doc, on not only taking over the story four or more months early, but in doing such a spectacular job of tying up the many loose threads I left lying around. I particularly enjoyed the subtlety of Hypnos an...

Will do. Try to catch up next week.

Sorry for going missing so abruptly, but I have been quite ill. During the worst of it I was not able to write as I did not have the strength. I did not even read and keep up with what was going on. During my post illness convalescence, which began about four months ago, I was too depressed to write...

The plan is to finish this about the same time that tallyho finishes his latest Graces story.

Nice tale, but needs two sequels to the alternate ending:

Enhancegirl's journey to her capture (What Sinistrous can do to the enhanced senses?)

Spectra's search

Hmm, you may unwittingly have begun a saga.

dravatar

I haven't finished reading this yet, but the basic premise is actually pretty cool. The story itself is pretty good so far, though I have only gotten up through the end of part II. One note: if using the 'magic belt' feature from the Lynda Carter TV show, it was the source of her power when away fro...

Thanks awfully for your kind words.

Actually, you may not know this, but I am the grammar and punctuation nazi.

Thanks for the compliments, all. I feel I should state what is obvious to those of us who have been working on this project. It is what it is because of the tireless efforts of tallyho, who has taken on the role of editor in chief for this project. Titles aside, he makes no dictatorial changes, rath...

My thanks to all for your appreciation of my efforts. Also thanks for the several PMs encouraging me to make use of Galen. He was originally intended as a throwaway, but I have added him to the mix and he will be a peripheral character here with a spinoff story at some point in the future in which h...

Thanks so much. So far as I know, Aponolus was raised and trained in Sparta and is now the Captain of the Guard at Corinth. Pankration, was the first martial art, is closer to MMA than to any of the oriental styles, originated in Sparta, and is one of the reasons that Aponolus is such an incredible ...

If really interested in an FPS, you should consider the doom/quake engines as they would give you the ability to develop both characters and levels without having to code the backend.

Me, personally, I prefer text style RPGs and good descriptive writing.

A nice premise and good tie-in to the ABC episode. I just wonder why there is always such formality - wrestling ring or island. Why can't there just be an engagement without all of that? If Fausta's target is Wonder Woman, why not show up Washington DC and call her out?

Just some thoughts.
