Attractions in Development

HOW do you like the new design? Backstage is one attraction in development, and I am working to improve this content from one week to the next. Just wait until Volume 2 and the next serial lands in your inbox! But that’s some weeks away.

In the meantime, the Proprietor of the Odds ‘n’ Endings Boutique would like to share with you there is a new tale in the works, Body Count, which is coming closer to seeing the light of day. The initial composition wasn’t terrible, per se, but not terrible is also not incredible and we simply cannot open an attraction that is not terrible and not incredible. So it’s been rewritten. The theme remains, the plot remains, but the style has shifted. As you read this, another rewriting is planned, which, if all goes well, will be the version that sails on to the next stage in the publishing process: editing. The Proprietor would also like to remind you that all sales are final, and they are in no way, shape, or form liable for the choices you make when considering their wares.

Unholy Requiem is now in advance reader review! A handful of most gracious tinkerers now have their hands on copies of the most recent rendition of this composition and will be providing their input as to the efficacy of the story. Once their feedback is incorporated into the text, preparations for opening shall commence!

There is also much work happening underground, in the tunnels running below the Calamity, in preparation for something big, something magical—er, technical, more like—something mischievous, all in support of further attractions to follow Unholy Requiem. You shall experience some of this soon, but I, perhaps, have said too much for now. So let us move right into …
