I can safely say that this update is rather late! So sorry. It’s been busy since Christmas, so please forgive me. I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday! I can’t believe that the New Year is almost here. 2007 seemed to fly by in a flash, but I hope 2008 is a great year for everyone as well!

With that said, I’ve managed to post Chapter Nine of Orange Sky. It’s rather long, so perhaps that will make up for the lateness. This is also one of my favorite chapters. Lots of crude Zacisms and witty Zout banter to be had. There are also a couple of other interesting scenes in this one, but I won’t give away the surprise. I’ll admit that I did a lot of laughing as I wrote this chapter, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Also, voting at the Fools Banquet Awards ends tonight, so if you haven’t voted already get your butt over there and do it now before it’s too late!

Thank you to kristin, Becca, Katie, Foxtrot, and Jessica for signing the guestbook! Enjoy the new chapter and Happy New Year!

Can you believe it’s almost Christmas? This will probably be my last update before the holiday, so I was just thinking about that. I hope everyone has all of their holiday shopping done! Speaking from past experience, I don’t think a last minute shopping excursion would be much fun.

So I’ve posted Chapter Eight of Orange Sky. I like this chapter for a few reasons. First, because there’s more Zac and Scout interaction and also because it answers a few questions about Zac. Ones I’m sure you probably wondered about after the last chapter. And because you all are not the only ones telling Scout she’s an idiot for saying Zac isn’t her type.

So I hope you enjoy this chapter as well, and don’t forget to vote at the Fools Banquet Awards. Voting ends on December 31st, so don’t put off voting or you might miss your chance!

And since I’m thinking about it right now and I’ve forgot every other time I’ve updated, I wanted to give Becca an extra special shout out. She was awesome enough to become my beta for Orange Sky, and I know she had her hands full betaing for a few other people too, so I just wanted to thank her again for all of her help!

And last but most certainly not least, thanks so much to Nat, Jessica, Erin, Katie, Amber, Foxtrot, Gina, kristin, and Becca for signing the guestbook!

Oh goodness, Wednesday was a busy, busy day. I’ve been in a rush to get everything I need done before Christmas. Slowly, I’m checking things off my to-do list. Last on the agenda before I could get to bed was updating aitp.org, so here I am.

Chapter Forty of Infinite is posted as well as Chapter Two of Trash. I was really happy to get feedback on both of those stories. I was a little nervous about Trash just because of the tone of the story is so different from what you’re used to from me - especially if you’ve been following Infinite. Mika and Silly are polar opposites. Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback. It was awesome to see some new names in the guestbook along with seemingly ever faithful followers, so thanks for that.

I think you’ll enjoy the new chapter of Infinite. There’s a lot in the chapter, and there’s a big section of just Zac and Silly, which everyone seems to enjoy. Please excuse the ridiculousness of their banter. The curdled milk story was inspired by my sister. I’m sure she’d love to know I’ve shared the story with everyone, but I thought I’d throw that out there. That’s a little story I never would have been able to think of up.

And Chapter Two of Trash is much shorter than the first, but we get to meet a Hanson brother. If you’ve looked at the characters page, you’ve already figured out it’s a Taylor centric story. I hadn’t done one of those in a while. I hope you’ll enjoy and have enough Taylor love left in you. I know I’ve been writing a lot of Zac stories in the past few years, so I thought it was time to mix it up a bit.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the updates and let me know what you think. I also hope you have a safe and happy holiday!
