Catch-22, Chapter 18

Catch-22

So as of now, the Pathos blog has passed 10,000 hits!  Thanks so much, guys! :D

In probably the space of two or three more chapters, we will be at the finale of our story.  Who ends up with who, what happens where, and will anybody manage to live happily ever after?  It’s just about time to find out.  We look forward to finally getting there with you.

The fairy tale Linali mentions in this chapter is a reference to Old Stories, an earlier fic by my co-author Hinaku.  While not precisely part of Catch-22 continuity, you might enjoy reading it nonetheless :)

Catch-22, Chapter 17

Catch-22

Welcome back!

Considering the number of times I’ve broken my own promises about our update schedule, I’m going to try not to make any solid specific ones anymore. :D;  But I definitely intend to finish posting Catch-22 this year before you all get thoroughly sick of us.  I’ve edited this chapter well in advance to save myself some work later, and hopefully from now on we won’t go longer than a month or two between each new post at the worst.

The fairy tale in this chapter is paraphrased/adapted from a version written by Colette Chooey on the Chinese Tea Stories website.  There are many different versions of this folk tale; we have merged the story as Ms. Chooey relates it with part of the version my co-author was told growing up.

As always, thanks for your feedback, guys — it makes everything worth it!!

Catch-22, chapter 16

Catch-22

LONG TIME NO SEE.  It took your co-author several months to get off her butt and edit this thing together, but at long last, the crazy soap opera continues.  Please be careful to heed the following WARNING: this chapter contains brief but detailed descriptions of some horrific subject matter.  If you are easily upset, please tread carefully or stay away.

This chapter was inspired by the cover illustration for manga volume 7.
