Taking Stock

We've reached the tail end of the branch. Instead of teasing you with one-ending-one-day and the-other-ending-the-next, I'm publishing both endings today:

Interactive: "Ambushed and Bushwhacked"  + "The Song of Yourself" 
Public: "Ambushed and Bushwhacked"  + "The Song of Yourself" 

After that, I'm going to take the weekend off from publishing. I do have a backlog of chapters, but I need to look over them again before deciding if they're worth posting. They were written to set up a commission that I've decided to abandon, so I'm not sure the lead-up chapters are worth saving. I'm going to look at some other backlogged items I've been noodling with.

As for the polls: I will continue to post them -- I will update the poll in an hour or so -- but do keep in mind that I said I'm not bound by the results. For instance, I've already decided not to write a sequel to replace "Keith's Choice, Your Indecision"  (now non-canonical), even though that's what you voted for. But that was a chapter originally written by rugal, and although he was the one who asked that it and its follow-ups be deleted, I am far from enthusiastic about stepping onto a path he originally made. If I do write something in that area, it will not be that choice.
