| I've lauched a second series of polls, to run alongside the current series, to pick a branch for future continuation in "The Book of Masks"  . It begins here: "Invalid Item"   | 
| I've added 73 new chapters to "The Book of Masks"  , both in the interactive and the Archives edition. See the blog entry "Seventy-Three New Chapters Lead the Big Parade"  for details. There is also a new chapter in the current storyline. | 
| I will be taking "The Book of Masks"  interactive, and one volume of the Archives edition, private for a couple of hours this Saturday (April 26) to do a little housekeeping on them. I'm giving readers advance notice now so that if they check in and find it inaccessible they will not wonder what's going on. With luck, the interactive should be offline for no more than three hours, and the Archive volume for no more than four hours. | 
| I am running a contest to give readers of "The Book of Masks" early access to new chapters. Details here: "Invalid Item"  | 
| I've closed the latest poll 24 hours early, on account of landslide returns that would be mathematically impossible to overcome. A new poll has now been posted—"Invalid Item"  —along with the first chapter in a new branch of "The Book of Masks." Details are at "The Book of Masks Homepage"  | 
| I've posted a new poll--"Invalid Item"  --asking readers to pick a place to continue "The Book of Masks." No chapter for today, but if I get my stuff together there might be one tomorrow. | 
| The latest polls have closed for "The Book of Masks," and results have been posted: "Nailbiters"  . But a new poll is now up: "Invalid Item"  , and one is continuing: "Invalid Item"  | 
| I've posted a new chapter in "Book of Masks"--"A Drive to Distraction"  , which is the choice voted in the most recent poll. There's a new poll to go with the new chapter, and more long-range polls remain open as well. Details are on "The Book of Masks Homepage"  | 
| I've added two new polls for "Book of Masks" readers: "Invalid Item"  and "Invalid Item"  . A description of these polls is up on the blog: "Let's Have Some More Polls"  | 
| I've resumed writing in "The Book of Masks" with a new branch. You can find links to it at the blog: "A New Start"  |
