Happy 2017 Followers of the Space Sloth!
Thank you again for supporting this draft as it moves along. To show my appreciation I’m providing a link to a new short(ish) story set in the Fortunes of the Space Sloth world. It’s called "Collateral Hazards". This story takes place before the draft book’s events. It provides a little more world building and if you pay attention you might see some clues to explain why things work the way they do on the Space Sloth.
Collateral Hazards, by P.A. Tebbe
I hope you enjoy it. Happy New Year.

Followers of Stage Clear,
Yes, I’m still alive out here and Stage Clear is still in existence. Since the end of the Video Game Contest I’ve been letting the story lay fallow for a little bit. This has allowed me to do a little more world building and plot planning. Right now I’m trying to decide what the best avenue is for the story. It really feels like something that would work well in a serialized format (so if anyone has advice on a reputable avenue for serial distribution please let me know).
I’ll be working on some short story additions once other projects are taken care of. NanoWriMo is getting ready to start and I’m sorry to say that Stage Clear will not be the project I’ll be working on. However, I’m excited to finally get the project I will be writing started.
In the meantime, if you are looking for some good nostalgic reading might I recommend "Armada" by Ernest Cline. While the plot line is different (thank goodness) it does have some of the same classic video game elements you’ll find in Stage Clear. Enjoy.
