...which means it's Friday, the traditional day of the week for releasing DW chapters.
And, as is traditional, Helen and I are giving the readers of the boards 24 hours' lead on the FFML and other outlets: the prologue and chapter one of DW13 are now available for your reading pleasure.

No, not an April Fools' joke. I only found out on Tuesday night that Jess, Helen's coworker, had finished the chapter and had no further comments to make on it.

Aaand, in jokes to Fenspace, City of Heroes, and other various Steps beforehand. I like the way he's been building up his 'Tool Kit' in the >unknown amount of time< since he started.

Oo-Rah! Loved it. One of the mixed blessings is that is spoils future events of DW5. (On the one hand, DW5 teasers, hooray! On the other, I feel kind of sad that I don't get to find out about some things in its original context.)

Lovely. Good start and good hooks. An editing suggestion, if I may: Underline or otherwise change the font on the time/date stamp, so that it stands out.

I wish I had something more to post than fannish squealing. Truly. It was a fun read.... and had the advantage of being accessible to people who haven't read the previous installments yet.

And as far as sharing the Awesome with Helen, I assure you, there's plenty enough for both of you.
