Wow! I finished Night! I can't believe it. Thank you for being a part of the journey with me. There's always more to come. I made chocolate and caramel cookies to celebrate.

Changed more titles. I want them all to be short and whimsical, preferably one word. I also merged T.Too with T. for ease.

April 1, 2026
I never loved the title of To Live and Not Die in L.A. – too wordy, not too great a reference – so I changed it to Night. I know 1. April is a very poor choice of day to do that. It's no joke, I'm sorry, I'm genuine in this. Same story! No worries, please! I also changed other titles. Sternenhimmel became Stars. Baby's in Bates became Leather.

Hi, everyone – or, didn’t I refer to all the readers of this series by some name? Butterfly Garden or so? I can’t remember. We’re in so deep that I forgot some things. Sometimes I even forget details of my stories although I try to document them zealously. (T, can you spare me some of your memory and storage ability?)
That said – I’ve been working on major outlines and a renewed timeline that takes such things into account. I can’t wait to share it with you all.

I had some comments recently from readers and colleagues that have been happily heavy on my heart. I feel a bit more emboldened by this to go back and edit things and to “tight-seal” some plot points. I’ll be doing that, too. I went back and read some of the beginning works… they were so silly.I need to failsafe a few things and give it all a firmer foundation.
Nothing will materially change! Don’t worry! I take your support and faith seriously, and I’m not the type of person to switch things up anyway.

With that, my work, T., is getting long… my plan is, of course, to continue it – I’ll wrap the current volume up with 80 chapters in a nod to our precious T-800, so I don’t look too crazy or dissuade readers with something that seems imposing. Then I’ll begin a new volume and compose them into a series within the Roses series. That’ll be 80 chapters, and so on. (Also, I’m running out of colors as chapter titles. I’d like to do song and movie titles to share things of that era and to make it fun. Or computer parts… hmmm…)

I have such big plans and such a bounty of ideas. I want to write more about Kyle especially.
I read all of your requests for certain informations to be addressed, and, just as I try to respond to every comment, I want to respond to each of these to the best of my ability. My work exists in a vacuum in that it is of course based on the franchise and the canon but also informed by the outside world and its events and circumstances. This means, that I have to be a bit self-referential when it comes to certain things. Always I want to encourage you if you have questions or are confused to consult please the series homepage on my website, especially the FAQ page and the About Terminators page linked there. This is a resource I make for myself as much as for my readers and is something I am relatively on top of.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so my writing is taking a while. I'm on a short pause.
By the way, don't worry, if I'm late to update (even if by months); I promise I am wholly aware and that it's probably annoying me as much as it is you. (I hate to not be in a state to write.) That's why I try to avail myself to replying to comments at a minimum. Hopefully sometime I can expand on comments in blog posts here and/or on the series page(s) if they require a further answer.

I'm sending my best!

I'll add links in stories again but adjust my approach. I don't want you to feel goaded into clicking and for sites to track your datas, clicks, etc. I will try to balance immersion in-story with meaningful supplements and not be overzealous in linking.
I'm working on adjusting the series timeline. It will be a new document with all times linked to their stories/chapters as well as noting important inclusions. It will be focused on dates, details, and developments; that way, it's an easy source to track progress and plot points as well as time. Readiness is TBD – I'm writing all the stories as well as working on... work. And life! (Still a homemaker.)

Edited and updated FAQs and AO3 series page for clarity, additional informations, and conciseness

December 10, 2025
New policy of not including links in stories
Why? I'm doing this in an effort to lessen your external clicks (which, in turn, lessens external data harvesting for your sake!) – my work continues, as always, to be based on verifiable facts and informations to the fullest extent possible and except where creative liberties ought to take precedence, but after reading about the interrelatedness of Big Tech, Brands, Banks, etc., I'd like to minimize my readers' external clicks, which is, unfortunately, just creating more data about and from you and your device(s) that can be used by bad actors. I'm considering ways in which to log supplements to each chapter, especially where audio or visual supplements offer much in the way of bringing the story better to life.

December 3, 2025
Beginning of migration of documents, resources, etc. from Google Drive to personal website (here!)

Go back?
