Kevin's Watch

StevieG, if you wish to do the next chapter, then I wanted to let you know that it's perfectly fine with me if you want to post it as soon as you write & type it! There's no need to feel a two-week waiting period is necessary. My newest chapter discussion thread is short and quickly read, so I see no need for a long interval before the next chapter dissection thread is posted. If you wish, I can post a summary of the next three chapters if you want to see what your options are. Please feel free to let me know what you think!

Next chapter posted - I wasn't even too late... Chapter 13.

Nicely done, StevieG, and I thank you! Now, where did I put those five grateful worshippers? Oh, yes, here they are:


I will try to put some comments on the new thread you've created very soon.


Forbidden Knowledge 19 - Chapter 13

The newest Group Reading thread is up:

Forbidden Knowledge 20 - Chapter 14

It's great to have Effaeldm back to post another quality thread!
In the following Forbidden Knowledge group read thread, learn how Juanita Estevez gained wealth and bitterness in creating the gap drive. Read about it in:

THANK YOU, EFFIE!!!

Also, my thanks to Effaeldm for saving her work and re-posting her lead dissection thread after I accidentally over-wrote it. I was just trying to click the "QUOTE" button and didn't realize I had hit the "EDIT" button. I'm a clumsy moderator, and will try to do much better. (Also, I have made sure to save Effie's work on that thread so that it can't be under risk of being lost again.) All of you reading along here, I highly recommend reading Effaeldm's excellent post on the Gap Drive!!!

Thanks to Avatar for writing the lead post on a dissection thread concerning the welding of Angus into a cyborg. You can read about it in:

Forbidden Knowledge 23 - Angus [3]

Further, thanks to Avatar for writing the lead post on a dissection thread concerning Vector saving the ship through his timely disengagement of the gap drive, and Morn deflecting punishment from Nick by appealing to his considerable vanity. The chapter discussion thread created by Avatar can be found here:

Forbidden Knowledge 24 - Chapter 16

Morn talks Nick into acting like they planned to scam the Amnion together, so Nick can save face as a winner with his crew. Meanwhile, Morn devises a way to speak with her confused son Davies. It's all discussed in the newest Gap Group Read thread:

Forbidden Knowledge 25 - Chapter 17

With Morn's help, Nick manages to fool the Amnion ship blocking his path that his ship has been hit. It's discussed in the latest Group Read thread for the Gap:

Forbidden Knowledge 26 - Chapter 18

Thanks to Skyweir for posting the thread dedicated to the FK chapter discussing the power grab by the United Mining Companies Police:

Forbidden Knowledge 27 - Ancillary Documentation / The Preempt Act

I;m going to need at least another day before I can put up the next FK chapter dissecton. So I've adjusted the tentative posting date to May 11, 2019. Hopefully, I can get done writing the lead dissection post by then!

Okay, I will still need more time, so I hope to post the next chapter dissection thread by Monday, May 13th. A number of things going on in my real life are keeping me fairly busy, but I will get this done.

Work requirements have delayed me, so I'll need another day before I can post the next chapter dissection. It's getting there!

Okay, I've finished writing up the next chapter dissection. I've got to go to work for an eleven-hour day of hiking through the mountain forests looking for spotted owls, but I'll type up the latest Group Read thread when I get back!

The newest Gap chapter dissection thread to be posted:

Forbidden Knowledge 28 - Chapter 19

Nice work as always CH. I can see why this chapter took longer for you - it's not your favourite It's still interesting, but I agree that we already know how much Morn and Nick hate each other, so it's probably unnecessary.

Thank you for your kind words, StevieG! That chapter is admittedly less interesting for me than is the case for most other FK chapters. That made it a bit harder for me to do, despite its not being particularly long (it runs for 13 pages in my paperback copy). I appreciate your understanding on the delay. We'll get this group read done before too long; I'm confident about that! Only three more chapters to go.

Morn warns the crew about Nick possibly selling them to the Amnion, tricks Nick into giving her back her zone implant control, and plunges into despair, all in the latest Forbidden Knowledge chapter to be discussed in a group read thread:

Forbidden Knowledge 29 - Chapter 20


Thank you to Avatar for writing the leading post for this one!!!
