Well, what do you know? Gonna have to split Chapter 15 into two chapters at this point. It's getting lonnnng lol, and I think I've reached a good amount of scenes and a clear distinction between the last one to justify the first 2000 words as their own chapter. Now, in the next chapter, I've just got to get the MCs into their accommodation with their temporary guardians, explore a glimpse of the place they've ended up in (natural environment, local infrastructure, markets, a school, stuff like that) and address some things between certain characters by the end of it... So yeah, while I work however much that will become, expect a new chapter very soon! One which I hopefully will never have to edit ever again! Or at least in a long enough time. Fingers crossed lol

If you are a fan of all things Sherlock Holmes, you have got to play The Beekeeper's Picnic. It came out recently and I've just finished my first playthrough (there will be others, I like to earn achievements ^^). It is such a delightful story-driven point-and-click. 
          As an avid magpie of as many Sherlock Holmes-related things as I can get my hands on, I had a blast with this game, so maybe someone coming across this post will also, whenever that may be.

Chapter One Revisions Take no. 4,786: 
          Guys, I think this one's a winner. No, really! I swear I will not touch it again. Much. I really mean it this time. Maybe.
          
          Annnnyway, I decided to remove the faux indentations. They are a PAIN to implement and, I don't know, plenty of other stories on Wattpad don't have them. It looks a little neater now, I think. 
          What can I say? I thought I was being cool (  ╥_╥)
          
          On the other hand, my backup docs will most definitely use indents. Propper, built-in indents. Oh, it looks so nice...

Guess who's been reworking older chapters again? This fool ;P
          
          Anyway, I've been doing some work on chapter one, and I'm feeling pretty satisfied (for the foreseeable future) with my new tweaks and additions. So, I thought I'd pop this announcement here to let anyone know that there's probably a "few" things you don't quite remember reading the first time. Depending on how long ago you read them, that it ^^; 
          
          So, if ur interested, I hope you have fun with the new stuff, 'cause I sure did :D
          
          Well, have a good day or night everyone, I'm off to bed.
          See ya!

I think i just had a Disney Princess Moment.
          A little bird flew into my room, flitted around for a bit until it eventually found its way out again.
          It flew right over my head a few times too!
          It was awesome

Just did a big renumbering of the chapters in good ol' FBFB. No more "two prt.-ers" and teeny-tiny chapters. I think the shortest one is about 5 minutes to read? Everything else sits between 9ish and 20-something minutes. I think 10-15 minutes is a pretty good goal for me to meet. 
          Just so there's no confusion, what was going to be Chapter 19 is now   (that's Chapter 18, if the bold font came up funky-looking on your device).

Annnd the em dashes (these long bois —) have now been implemented! No more multi-purpose hyphens from now on.

Another update on the numbering of the chapters: 
            
            I've combined chapters that were previously 4 and 5 to make a new Chapter 5: Up A Creek Without A Paddle (I went with that name because it still makes me chuckle at myself), and have had to renumber them all again. Twice! 
            
            Now, the newest chapter in the works will be numbered 16 instead of 18. Hopefully I never have to do this again because it is getting tedious and the thought of Wattpad not registering the changes for whatever reason is giving me palpitations.

yep, the bold font definitely came up funky; it didn't even show up. 
            
            Oh well, I'll keep that in mind for next time.
