Dearest Regular Readers,
Nadiel was too embarrassed to post this herself, so I told her I’d step in and offer an explanation and an apology. She honestly thought that she could deliver the ending to her most recent narrative “Astaroth’s Wager” in a timely fashion so that she could begin a new one soon enough. (When you get to the end, you’ll understand why she was so keen to let go of this one.) She’s been blaming me for pushing her to produce, which is a fair and accurate complaint. Whichever way you want to look at it, I’m here to apologize for the both of us. Nadiel really didn’t mean to renege on her promises to present a conclusion in her previous posts. I forced her to make promises she couldn’t keep, and I should’ve been nicer. Sorry, readers. Sorry, Nadiel. Mea culpa.
The conclusion to “Astaroth’s Wager” will be presented to you over the next few weeks. We all hope you enjoy it. Feel free to check out the previous ten chapters in the meantime.
Part I • Part II • Part III • Part IV • Part V • Part VI • Part VII • Part VIII • Part IX • Part X
Barring a catastrophic WordPress error, Chapter 11 will go up Tuesday morning, January 18, 2011, at dawn local time (7.12 MST).

P.S. In the interests of maintaining her word, she begged me to remove all her false promises from her introductions. Mea maxima culpa.
