Been busy for me lately, so I’m having trouble finding time to sit down and write some more of Hellbender (plus regular blogging gets precedence). Also, these next parts are getting more complicated so its harder to just spit it all out. Still, I am really anxious to get back to it soon, and I promise to finish it this time.
You can use this comment section to speculate what happens next. I predict explosions!
i just wish these “green weenies” (environmentalists) cared half as much for the welfare of their fellow americans as they do for “the tundra mosquitoes”–OPEN ANWAR NOW! a non-paid political rant from an avid reader!
Explosions? Ha! That’s a good one. That will never happen. Noob.
My Prediction…? PAIN
I predict scattered showers and T-storms.
The 30-day forecast is for below normal blogging and above normal complaints. Chock it up to cooling of the IMAO blogosphere.
I predict that you don’t finish it and I start you calling you FrnakJ Forstchen or Jerry PournelleJ.
And then I go home and kick the dog.
I’m no sure, although you probably shouldn’t borrow the toilet scene from Trainspotting.
MORE HELLBENDER!
I’m not sure the author is allowed to make predictions, especially if it’s fairly obvious that that’s what will happen due to the author’s nature. That would be like C.S. Lewis saying, “I predict Aslan will show up sometime.”
I predict some more awesome fighting and all readers to be as bothersome as possible to make sure it’s finished this time. I also predict that I still won’t be able to figure out the origin of any of the names.
I predict FrankJ will be too busy with his new job to actually finish, then he will start it again and pretend he’s going to finish it and then quit again. Ironically FrankJ you seem to be following the politician pattern of promise, promise, promise, not deliver, campaign for change, & repeat. Can you say Democratty?
I just hope Bryce gets some more action. When I picture Bryce, I picture Frank J.
“You can use this comment section to speculate what happens next.” HA! Frank has writer’s block and is fishing for ideas. Here’s my prediction: Doug wakes up and it was all a dream. And his wife Pam comes out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her.
This is your shortest hellbender chapter yet and it doesn’t even flow with the rest of the story very well.
Clearly you’ve set stuff up so that Doug WILL get control over the cube again and will have to choose between betraying Hellbender by giving it over to Elza’s crew, who may or may not be trying to send the trans back to hell, or not betraying Hellbender but dooming humanity to the trans by giving it over to Damien.
Maybe it would be more interesting if Hellbender goes in to rescue Doug and finds that Elza’s crew is already there — not just for the cube, but for Doug.
I predict that the next chapter will be 15 pages long and Packed with teh funny. It’s been in the works for so long, how can it not be the best chapter ever, really?
I predict there will never be another chapter of Hellbender.
