In which Tommy meets Mark Briar. Yay! A Brand new chapter, sorta. Hehe, I hope I didn't crib too much from the Mark Briar Affair...just the dialog from that particular scene, and not too much else. Until the next time!

Real Bands is on Hiatus until Mid-May! Due to the author moving house. While there is no space for art supplies to be strewn around the place whilst packing, there is plenty of time to type away at the computer, so on to the update portion of the post!
MuBu Update: Chapter 13: Don't Ever Fall in Love
Sound advice perhaps? In which, Tommy is cynical. Graeme has a bitchy ex girlfriend and a million brothers...but there's always a little Hope. (That was horrible pun, you'll see why. Forgive me? Hehe ;))
Anyway, on the MuBu news front: I have to add whole big chapters to the Nevada story arch, because a certain character was only mentioned in passing originally and his plotline deserves more than a cursory glance in the main story. There happens to be a big long side story about him if you want to read about it before it makes it into MuBu. Hehe. Yes, I am talking about an exercise I took on at some point, which was to write short stories about these characters in first person point of view. I call them vignettes, even though they're longer than that implies. I added a lot of things about Nevada in one called "The Mark Briar Affair" (You can find the first two chapters in the stories section.) that I never went back and added... So I think it'll will fill things in a bit if I add that stuff in to the main story.
So, I'm sure you will be very disappointed to hear that the next chapter will not, in fact, be an edit, but a brand new chapter. It's kind of a rework of parts of the vignette, with some other stuff added in. Hopefully, I'll be able to work it up into a presentable state faster than Chapter 13 here...which I don't believe I even edited all that much.
Ah, well...on to the next!
In which Tom turns into a grumpy teenager and meets Graeme Alexander! So this chapter actually turned out twice as long as its original incarnation! I don't know what to think of that, except it was needed. You get a little more insight into Tom's state of mind and more of the friction with the parents, which I think is actually pretty important.
That is all! Until the next!
