It won’t be completed anytime soon, it needs a LOT of work.
It appears the site was down earlier today, database issues — I think I’ve fixed it, but email me (viley@att.net) if it goes down again.

Outline is mostly done, first rough draft should be ready by this weekend for the Editing Gang to start going over.
This isn’t a firm timeline since there’s the chance I will be sidelined by work.
The Editing Gang is a group of unrewarded, unpaid volunteer editors who take each chapter of crap I write and massage it using magic and a proper command of punctuation, spelling and grammar into a product people can read without being distracted by broken sentences and errors.
The last chapter started life as an 8,000 word piece of shit not fit to display alongside SI Wrex/Tali lemonfics. Through days of their hard work it has been transformed into a nineteen thousand word masterpiece.
Half of the credit for the improvements you see in ATTWN and most of the credit for improvements in TWCD over the first book should go to them, not me.
The chapter will come out soon — I want all hands to have a chance to go over it and provide feedback. I’ll need a couple of days before I get cracking on the outline of the next one, and then we’ll see how quick I can crank out transition chapters until we get to Ilium.
Again, Editing Gang — thank you sincerely.
Right now the next chapter of That Which Cannot Die is still under heavy construction. The current layout is more of a framework, another five or six thousand words are left to deal with and the bulk of the editing team is still hard at work. (So am I, adding stuff based on suggestions). I do not think it will come out today (June 30) , more likely this weekend.
In other news:
I am planning to finally get around to slowly rewriting OSABC with the help of slave labor another Editing Gang. It will be in Google Doc format, and posted one chapter at a time. The goal of the remastering of OSABC is threefold:
As OSABC is already massive, this will probably expand it by another twenty to thirty thousand words. We’ll probably do one or two chapters a week — maybe more if people are interested.
If you would like to help these are the requirements:
If you have all of these, either comment here or email me at viley@att.net if you would like to participate.
While the actual chapter name will be different, the informal name is OPERATION NO, FUCK YOU IS A GO.
As STG files are easy to write and quick to produce, any other characters that you’d like to see one one?
And no, P. will not be getting one just yet. :p

The Next Chapter is being outlined.
No idea when it will hit, but should be either tonight or tomorrow, unless they tell me it is crap drafted by a kindergardener high on acid.
EDIT: They said it was crap drafted by kindergardener high on acid but I published it anyway.
Also, messed up all the ellipses.
Maybe this one won’t take three months to get out the door.
