| December 12, 2009: | Tonight, I'm posting something of mine -- something that hasn't happened in a while. But the reason why will soon be apparent -- you don't write 88 chapters in a week (and you don't post them in one, either). I'll be busy for a while taking care of this and the rest of 'Inviting a Pickup' and 'Destination Azahar', no doubt. |
| December 11, 2009: |
Tonight, DeGaffer rolls 'Destination Azahar' forward to Chapter 10, and I'm posting the first six chapters of dirtycopper's 'Inviting a Pickup.' That isn't all there is to be had, so keep an eye out... |
| December 5, 2009: | Okay, after I made big promises to keep things up, real life kicked me in the chops. I'm playing catch-up -- and from the list of stories on SOL, I'm still going to be behind. Presented here are links to the Duke of Ramus' two latest stories, 'Operation Triskelion' and 'Rescue Mission', as well as Nuke Danger's latest, 'Distraction', and Starfiend's 'Woolly Wilds'. Last, but by no means least, DeGaffer presents the first five chapters of 'Destination Azahar.' I owe all of my authors -- and all of our readers -- an apology. |
| August 19, 2009: | Tonight we add a link to Quantum Mechanic's tale, 'Keeping Promises,' a Cosca story. |
| August 12, 2009: | Okay, I've FINALLY got around to updating the site. I owe a lot of apologies and I'll get there. For now, however, peruse 'Bunny Fide' and 'Some Assembly Required' by Nuke Danger, Third Aye, 'Steak Night' by Akarge, and another non-canon entry by artie entitled 'Lemon Extract'. The Duke of Ramus has provided a link to his new 'Reeperbahn Pickup' and Doc Tufferson presents 'Outward Bound -- Book II of the Tufts Family Saga.' I plan to do better; insiders know that I'm writing a LENGTHY Swarm tale that has tied me up... |
| May 9, 2009: | Today I'm playing catch-up with some external links to new stories by existing authors and adding a new story by a new author. You'll find a link to Baron Rod's 'A Pickup in 4 BJs and Muff Dives', along with George Page's follow-on to 'Stripped Out', 'Changes in Altitude.' And a new author, A Peaceful Place in Texas presents 'Pearl,' a tale about an oddly reversed pickup. |
| April 26, 2009: | Okay, so, it's been a month since I've updated this page. I've been VERY busy, unfortunately. The good news is so have Swarm authors! I present a new story by Akarge, a new story by the Duke of Ramus, a new story by Col. Jack Harrison and THREE new stories by a new author, dirtycopper. Two of these are variants on a single story -- but the contrast of the endings is striking, and reading Version 1 helps you appreciate Version 2 of 'Going Out With a Bang'... |
| March 25, 2009: | Okay, so, it's been a while for the Swarm. Frankly, it isn't all my fault -- I've been seeing a lot of drafts and stuff that our authors just don't seem to feel is polished enough for publication. Personal matters have been getting in the way, too -- and if you haven't noticed about 45 chapters of 'The Pact' over on my main site, shame on you! Doc Tufferson, a new contributor, brings us a couple of new jewels -- one highly humorous -- and another new author, Col Jack Harrison, presents 'Pickup Lines.' Enjoy! |
| February 8, 2009: | Today is a day for fixing and finishing things. Allan Joyal's latest work, 'Forgotten Family' is posted complete at nine chapters and Nukie add the final chapter to 'A New Home for the Holidays.' Finally, I managed to fix a few naming and linking screwups that surfaced along the way, again bringing home the fact that 'Super Webmaster' I'm not... |
| February 4, 2009: | Allan Joyal presents the first two chapters of his latest work, 'Forgotten Family.' |
| February 1, 2009: | I'm seriously behind -- work hasn't allowed me to keep the site up with my authors. McJeep adds chapters 13 - 16 to 'Up, Up, and Away!' Akarge gives us the third and final installment of 'Black Friday' and another pickup tale entitles 'Reunion Dinner.' Baron Rod delivers 'Carl's Pickup.' I'm adding two chapters to Nukie's 'A New Home for the Holidays'; this thing doesn't look finished to me, despite the fact that Nukie isn't known for his long works... Also on tap is a revised version of Mulligan's 'Diversity.' There are several other items in the offing, including a new, lengthy work by Allan Joyal -- keep an eye out! |
| January 1, 2009: | Happy New Year! I pushed out a little something just for the holiday -- but I may extend it... |
| December 24, 2008: | Just in time for Christmas, Akarge presents 'Ohhh, Santa!' about a trip to the mall to see Santa gone awry -- and Nuke Danger delivers a cautionary tale about holiday travel in the Swarm era. Two new authors grace us with stories -- Baron Rod brings us 'A Day At The Fair' which presents a different perspective on the events of my own 'Buying Wholesale', and Openbook shows us 'Harkness Rules'. |
| December 19, 2008: | McJeep presents us with three new chapters of 'Up, Up, and Away!' |
| December 13, 2008: | Akarge presents 'Black Friday II' -- a second installment in his tale of after Thanksgiving shopping. McJeep presents us with four new chapters of 'Up, Up, and Away!' |
| November 28, 2008: | Akarge presents 'Black Friday' -- a cautionary tale about putting other business between a woman and bargain hunting -- even a pickup. In keeping with the shopping theme, Waltzing Melissa presents 'Wally World, Confederacy Style' about a simple trip for baloney and beer gone haywire. deGaffer presents the conclusion of 'Behind Enemy Lines', and McJeep presents us with two new chapters of 'Up, Up, and Away!' Last but not least, a little holiday item from me called 'Turkey Day.' |
| November 14, 2008: | The concluding twenty chapters of Allan Joyal's 'A Peril At Ishtar' begin today's update, followed by The Duke of Ramus' latest work, 'Sneaky Beaky' about a little undercover recruiting operation for the Civil Service. |
| November 8, 2008: | Ten Chapters of Allan Joyal's 'A Peril At Ishtar' begin today's update, followed by two new chapters of McJeep's 'Up, Up, and Away!' and two new stories -- 'The Priests's Wedding', a Cosca tale by Waltzing Melissa and 'Maude's', a little tale about preparing young sponsors and concubines for pick up by, well, me, actually... |
| November 2, 2008: | I'm way behind again -- largely because the authors group is a talkative lot. Nuke Danger presents 'Platitudes and Aptitudes', Akarge gives us a bit of humor with 'Noblesse Oblige', and the first four chapters of deGaffer's 'Behind Enemy Lines' is posted. Waltzing Melissa adds a chapter to 'Sarah Gets A Family', and the first ten chapters of Allan Joyal's 'A Peril at Ishtar' are up. There's more to come! |
| October 18, 2008: | McJeep joins us with Chapter 1 of 'Up, Up, and Away!' There are at least four other stories in the pipe that I'm aware of -- including one of mine... |
| October 14, 2008: | I've posted links to Quantum Mechanic's and The Duke of Ramus' latest works -- 'Changing Priorities' and 'In the Name of the Prophet' -- and I've managed to markup deGaffer's latest, 'A Pickup in Texas' which is prety humorous, and a story by 'new' author Nuke Danger called 'Denial Ain't Just A River' -- and I finally finished putting together Akarge's 'A Perfect 10, Part 1', which has such a large cast we had to include a Dramatis Personae so readers could keep track! I have no idea what Part 2 is going to look like... |
| October 4, 2008: | I'm pleased to announce the completion of deGaffer's work, 'The Librarian.' All thirty chapters are finally posted! I hope you enjoy it -- I did! Hopefully, by the time you finished reading it, I'll have posted a shorter work he has in the pipe right now, too... |
| September 27, 2008: | I have to apologize; our authors have no problem being prolific -- but I sometimes have problems finding time to update this site! Please examine DeGaffer's effort 'The Librarian' -- which I have advanced to Chapter 16. There's more to come! |
| September 6, 2008: | This week, we're pleased to present three new stories, two by new authors! Please welcome George Page and Quantum Mechanic! The Quantum Mechanic's tale is a departure that presents whole new avenues for future works, again expanding our little universe as others have done before. In the meantime, deGaffer presents the first four chapters of his saga, 'The Librarian.' Keep an eye on this one! |
| August 31, 2008: | We've had an explosion of new talent, posting THREE new authors in as many days! Please welcome Akarge, Cat5 and Waltzing Melissa! |
| July 21, 2008: | I'm pleased to be able to re-post the works of one of our most prolific authors, making the catalog again complete. This fellow -- well, he no longer exists, for reasons I won't discuss in order to protect his privacy. I have permission to present his stories, but not under his old nom de plume, as it is now defunct and he no longer wishes to have his works published under it. That being the case, I'm referring to him as 'Just Jack.' |
