I haven't updated here in ages! My apologies. I am still in the midst of rewriting A Fairy Tale Sorta. Again I apologize that it's taking so long. I keep finding things that just don't seem right at all.

I hope to get it rewritten and sent to a publisher soon!

A badly needed overdue update

Sorry to be away so long. March has been a horrible month and I've really not cared much about anything for the vast majority of it. On the upside, I have managed to get the first half of AFTS rewritten. I have added a wealth of info on medieval economics and class system, more on Nicco's childhood illness, some deeper probing into his mind and a new character! Whew! I have also moved some scenes around and let more time pass at the beginning of the story, I'm horrible about making everyone all buddy buddy right off the bat!

Hopefully, I'll have it ready to be sent to a publisher by June. I really DO think that it's a stronger, better book now.

Thank you to everyone who has commented here or written me, it's nice to know I'm not alone. Please spread the word about Nifty's attempted theft and extortion, word of mouth is a powerful weapon, my friends.

So in other news, I started working on a MASSIVE rewrite of Volume 1, I know you're all waiting for the rest of Volume 2. The problem there, you see, is that I am toying with the possibility of taking Lehi out of the lead villian's role. I was never comfortable with him there in the first place and it will increase the plausibility quotion for what's planned in Book 3 so..... *chews lip*

Anyway, I've been discontent with a few other things in the first book, but unwilling to change them in the rush to print. However, with this poo pile from Nifty, it's an excellent opportunity to tweak and move things around and perhaps make the book a stronger finer story. I want to do the writers of my youth justice in my inspiration. And I want to offer the best possible product to my lovely readers, cuz I really wouldn't bother if it weren't for you.

So please don't give up on me if you don't hear anything from me for awhile!

I have bad news and if you know anyone who has read my stuff on Nifty, please spread the world to them. I will no longer be posting any of my writings there. The rest of A Fairy Tale in Flight will be found ONLY on my Insanejournal. I have requested the Nifty Archivist to remove AFTS but he refuses saying I am not allowed to take it down without replacing it or paying him money. I will consult a lawyer to see if this is legal and if it I will pay him and have it removed. From this point onward, I will have no further dealings with Nifty, as this kinda shit cans any plans to get it published if he refuses to remove it.

His letter:

"I am sorry, but Nifty does not do that. Nifty is not a temporary exhibition space. We cannot allow publishers to cherry-pick the best stories from Nifty.

If you want the story to be removed from display, you need to replace it with a similar story of equal quality or make a monetary donation to Nifty to allow Nifty to encourage and help other authors.

Thanks, Nifty"



Personally I think this blows and is way beyond the pale. How can you encourage other authors when you are holding their stuff for ransom? I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach here. I will have NO further dealings with Nifty EVER again!

Worse case scenario, I'll have to rewrite the first two books and that will take up a LOT of time and delay any further updates by quite a bit. I apologize in advance.
