Ooookay. Been a while. And there's a good reason for that; First, the good news! I'll be publishing this one in a few days. I think this experiment has the chops to play on Amazon. If it DOES, then I'll pick the story back up again and run with it until it's done. If it doesn't, then I'll see about moving on to other experiments. The bad news is that I'm going to need to remove most of the content of this story from the board, to comply with the publishing options I'm using. This ain't the end, though. If Bunker Core does well in the market, then I'll see about starting on book two. Which will be in this thread, and pick up where we left off. (There's gonna be some adjustment, mind you. Foal's second chapter got moved back a bit, and a few other things have shifted in minor ways.) Thank you for your help in reaching this point. Hasn't been an easy road, and it's definitely been rocky, but as always, you guys have been the best critics I could ask for. -AS
