I have finally got around to posting Black Holes And Revelations and The Luckiest here. Both stories can be found linked from the usual page.

I've also moved the following stories to the On Hiatus page:

+ Out In The Blue
+ Love, Chaos And Other Phenomena
+ Three Chords And The Truth
+ Cherry Blossom Girl
+ Twin Souls Trilogy
+ Tether
+ Fire And The Flood

Braving Darker Days is also in the process of being massively rewritten -- after nearly eight years of writer's block, I realised that I wasn't ever going to finish it. I was probably a lot more annoyed by this than I should have been. The rewrite will be posted solely in my Dreamwidth for the time being -- once I've caught up to where I got up to on the original story, I'll post the updated version here and at AO3.

And lastly, I've started writing a remix of the story Avery, which was written by one of my best friends around twenty years ago, with my friend's full permission and blessing. The prologue and first two chapters of Sing For Absolution have been posted and can be found linked from the usual page. I'd wanted to write my own version of Avery for a very, very long time, and I can only hope that I do it justice. I'm hoping I can have the whole story finished either by the end of this year or the middle of next year, depending on how busy the final year of my Master's degree ends up keeping me. While I can't guarantee how often it'll be updated, I can guarantee that it won't be abandoned. I'm fully committed to finishing it. Keep an eye on my writing Twitter account for regular updates.

Just a very, very quick update regarding the way I've been posting story links here:

As of this morning my time (Australian Eastern Standard Time), I've had to lock down my AO3 account due to the discovery of a bot that's been found to have scraped fics posted to AO3 for use in training AI. I don't know for sure that my fics have been affected, but at this stage I'm working off the assumption that they have been. Which means that a number of story links leading off the site are now broken for those of you without AO3 accounts. The following stories are affected:

+ Black Holes And Revelations
+ The Luckiest
+ Fire And The Flood

In the coming weeks I'll be working on getting those stories posted here properly. In the meantime, as I plan on keeping my account locked for the foreseeable future, I have a number of AO3 invites available that I'm more than happy to give out to any of my readers without an account of their own. You can send me an email, or drop me a DM on Twitter or Tumblr. My fics are also posted to my Dreamwidth as public posts.

I honestly hate that I've had to do this. I really do, and I'm truly sorry. I'll hopefully have an update for The Luckiest posted very soon that I hope will soften the blow somewhat.
