New reader? Start here. Back to Part 053 Notes I think the biggest I should tackle right away is my clumsy handling of Cait and Manni, and what Manni’s intentions really were.

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 050 Notes – Forward to Part 052 Notes I guess off the bat I should talk about why there’s only a mention of Penny Dreadful, and no actual pirate. A lot of it has to do with me having a very weird week. The rest stems from that. [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 049 Notes – Forward to Part 051 Notes This section marks the one year anniversary of Boat Story. It should be fifty two sections by this point, but you know, things happened. Anyways, this is important for a couple of reasons. The first is that this is the [...]
