"When was the last time you paid any attention to network spam and spent twenty energy credits at AfterBirth World just to get a free placenta?

I don't remember writing that! I must have been *really* drunk. Plus the description of Li Min is not a million miles off of how I have often felt after an all nighter.

Anyhow, a new episode is up. Feel free to comment on all the sociological vagaries of my account of the Hiverian faction - I'm sure there must be lots of gaping holes somewhere.

Maybe one of these days we could start a poll with the subject being whether the voters think "chemical influence" improves the literary skills.

Don't forget to tick "email notification" for this thread!

Bah, you don't like my title? Me neither. But Civ1 and Civ2 are pretty unconcerned with gender politics and just put in the male titles. I really should take up this issue with the forum at some point.

There will be more Joe after next week, when my exams are over.

[Alinestra Covelia]

There's another story up. I don't know how well I did in my test yet, but tomorrow I probably will. If the teacher doesn't kill me.

A while back, a reader made a perfectly fair and valid point - namely, that the eponymous character Joe doesn't seem to have much of a part to play.

Well, I hope these next few episodes will more than make up for that lack!

Hope you're all still reading, as we're getting close to the end now.

It's been a long time since I read the story. But I always like reading lots of installments at a time anyway. Keep up the good work. Looks like I got some reading to do

[Alinestra Covelia]

Hey, Sprayber! Glad to see you back and commenting! Look - I put in the Spartans just for you!

Yet another update (!!!), within twenty four hours I might add. Right now it's way past my bedtime - so late, it's early.

Well, I hope you like this. It took me ages to write!


Edit: the frigging post was too long! I had to split it up into three (3) extra posts!

So there's around four new ones in the past 24 hours. Heaven help us all.

[Mr. President]

You can never have too much of this story.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Holiday in Hangzhou! Sorry about the delay everybody - yet more Joe up, and yet more to come soon!

I tried to edit some of my earlier posts, but there's a stupid character limit and I would have to delete huge swathes of the posts and/or move them into later ones that would then have to be reordered etc etc, so it's too bloody difficult. I guess you'll just have to live with the spelling mistakes

At least there's some continuity in this latest episode, although I had hoped to edit an earlier post to make it more convincing. (This is probably counted as cheating and/or bad storylining, but in any case it doesn't matter because I couldn't get the bloody thing to post anyway...see above problem... grr.)

Anyhow, there'll be more soon so keep reading! Hope the two earlier "Zhou makes his confession" episodes haven't scared everybody away...

[Alinestra Covelia]

Another one up, more to come.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Another episode is up. In the unlikely event that somebody out there is keeping track of this sort of thing, see if you can spot tongue-in-cheek references to real life events.

More has posted, more is up, more is yet to come forevermore yea verily amen.

[Chaunk]

Love this story, its getting better every installment. Keep it up!

[Alinestra Covelia]

Thanks for the feedback! The next episode is on its way... I'd say within the next couple of days or so. Maybe even tonight.

Are you a new reader, or have you been a passive lurker for a while yet?

[Chaunk]

Lurking like mad for about 3 months now, but seeing the length of this story, I guess I'm a new reader

Can't say I spotted the references to real life in the last episode though...

[Alinestra Covelia]

Yes, sorry for the delay people... I had a banana and chocolate smoothie on Sunday, and a Teriyaki Chicken takeaway on Monday. I'm not sure which of them gave me food poisoning but I'm recovering still. Maybe Thursday afternoon, when I'm back in my dormitory.
