Good to see you continuing. I seem to be on a Byzantine kick lately, so thr tale of the noseless Baselius is welcome. Can't have those Turks rampaging through Europa collecting their blood tax can we?
Thanks for the support old chap. As one of my most loyal readers from near the start of this thing, I really appreciate that. Things are sort of sorting themselves out life wise.
The good news is that the next part is almost complete and should be posted in the not too distant future. Taking a while since I had to go through the bit I was writing back in May, and connect things up in my mind there. However, I have notes for several chapters planned out in advance as I usually have the habit of doing, so it has all fallen into place with not much trouble.
In the meantime, this story now has an entry in the AH.com Wiki, and those of you who feel like doing so are more than welcome (actively encouraged in fact!), to go and add anything to the article you feel would flesh it out and make it better. You can find it here.
