          	  I don't know if you can check if any fanfiction/works from Wattpad are on there. I honestly have no clue if AI grabbed that stuff as well.

@AyndhriaSoung You're not alone. I'm still here. :P
          	  How do you search that?
          	  
          	  Ooooh, a writers' group. That'd be nice. They do have some of those on here.
          	  Nope, I don't belong to any writers' group. I'd been invited to join the one in MI like 2 or 3 weeks before I left during my last summer there. But that is all.

Okay, I've changed my mind. I'm taking it all down at the start of May, regardless of whether it's completed or not, and no matter what type of story it is.

@SteveJBWO I don't really have any social media accounts, except Discord. So, unless you wanna chat there, we can swap emails. I'll still be here as a reader (as my previous post said) but won't post any writing of my own here anymore (or anywhere online.)

@LilOldMeTree Well, I've been ignoring my writing for months now, so anything that's not completed won't be any time soon, so I figured I may as well take the incompletes at the same time as the completes.

@CEBronk If I post my social media name here, can we talk about this off line? I won't attempt to change your mind, but I I'm curious about your decision and what future plans you have. But without private messaging, WP isn't the place to talk.

Okay. Due to the continued concerns over AI illegally taking writers', artists' and others' works online, I will be removing all of my stories from this website except for the storycube collections.
          
          No, I haven't heard one thing about AI on Wattpad, one way or another, but enough people are talking about it out there that I think it's time.
          
          So, if you're reading (or intending to read) anything on my page, you have until the end of April. At the start of May, everything but the Reading the Dice series is being removed.
          (Allow me to also say that if the extra Patrol short of cast interviews isn't yet finished being posted, I will leave it up for 1 month after the final interview goes live, then it will also be removed.)
          
          Thanks, y'all, it's been fun.
          
          I'll still be around to read stuff here. Just won't post anymore.

Another interview is recorded for your reading pleasure.
          
            It's a very short conversation with the gentleman who owns the Thankless Tankard, that tavern outside which poor Cavin as found murdered.
          
            Our friend, the bard, currently only has one question for the man...

*** "was found murdered", not "as found murdered." My laptop has a sticky 'w' key which doesn't always work right....

After a month, the interviews with Patrol cast members are finally being posted.
            Instead of just adding it as an extra at the back of book 4, I decided to make it it's own "book" here, the way I did Family Ties.
          
          The first interview is posted! Come see what A'lei'iana Buccareth has to say. ^_^

P.S. Questions can still be submitted! Upcoming interviewees include K'landrin, Nanda, Sylvern, the owner of the Thankless Tankard.... Any member of the cast, dead or alive, main or barely seen, is fair game. ^_^

Okay, I finally made an actual writing move--I started the document "Enthralled by Emotion 2!" So it's official...I'm rewriting it with Lachi 2.0. Now the question is whether I can get enough of it rewritten so that I can just continue it by the time NaNoWriMo starts?

@AyndhriaSoung Thanks. ^_^

Haha, so far, no need. But thanks! Also, I don't know when you changed your profile pic and background pic, so I'm sure I'm ages behind, but they look really nice! Love them.

@AyndhriaSoung Yay!!! An actionable step!!! That's great news! Best of luck for NaNo prep. 
            Shall I send a ninja duck your way? ^_^

Happy Friday!
            It is update day, and I have exciting news regarding Patrol 4: Storm & Calm!
            Chapter 34, as well as the final bard's closing, are scheduled to post tonight!
          
            As you may guess, Chapter 34 is the final chapter of the book, as well as the series. I hope you enjoy the finale. It is scheduled to be posted at 8:45pm. Not sure what time zone.
          
            The final bard's farewell is scheduled to post at 9pm. Again, unknown timezone. (I'm not sure why they wouldn't let me schedule them for the same time?)
          
            The interviews with the cast will be posted at a later date. You still have time to submit your questions! ^_^
          
            Anyhow. Thanks for sticking out the journey with me. Hope you enjoyed the Patrol series. Happy reading, and happy writing.
