Retconning Evals

So in War to End All Wars/Seismic Semester/Whatever-the-Fuck I decided to create a much more active and strenuous Eval week compared to the little meeting you get in the Conquering Hero short.  It's a lot more fun and interesting and true to the Asylum we've come to know, love, and fear, instead of my throwaway idea for a short story all the way back before the series had really established itself and when I was still trying to figure out this whole author thing.

As such I've re-edited Conquering Hero to match this new idea and placed it just after 09's Camping Test as a kind of preliminary class ranking.  Tone remains the same.  But...ya know, sacrificing something that could be cool in a 1000 page novel (or two 500 page novels) seems really silly over a 10 page short story almost no one mentions.  EVER.  This won't be uploaded until the new novel comes out, whenever that is.

Slightly related, I have finally unpublished the individual King Henry shorts from Amazon so they are no longer available for sale.  Now you can only purchase them and read them in the King Henry Short Pack. (if you own the old ones, they should still work fine) Which was half the price of buying all six shorts separately anyway.  And easier for me to update.  And I make 70% royalties on it not 35%.  So...it's just better all around!

Outside of that, I'm doing a massive readthrough/edit on the new book.  It's 600 manuscript pages, 165k words.  Really coming along nicely now.  Tightening up.  Story and characters:  flowing.  Themes:  building.  Pee-holes:  make sure you protect them.

Done with doctors for the month and only one appointment next month, so...hoping for a big push.

Mad Scientist, engage!
