This is a message I received from one of the friends of this page, who is an author in her own right (and a very good one too). It concerns a website called Archive of Our Own, which is dedicated to both writers and readers.  You don’t have to be a writer to enjoy the page, nor are you required to become a member (guest readers are wholeheartedly welcome). I highly recommend both the site and the excellent stories by woodswalker88, and urge prospective writers and other authors to consider using this resource:

“I have written several Asimov/Foundation-based stories on the site Archive of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/woodswalker88/works

My main works are two novellas about the Second Foundation: Foundation’s Martyrs and its sequel, Foundation’s Heroes. These stories take place during and after the last chapters of Asimov’s Second Foundation.

I am now working on a series about the Second Foundation, starting with Wanda Seldon in the year 3 F.E. and continuing for the next few centuries. This group (the one that counts, according to Ebling Mis) has remained very much a mystery and I hope to change that.

Please visit. I would be thrilled to have readers’ comments!”

It has been a while since my last update – over a year – but during that time I have managed to stay on schedule. Right now I am a little over halfway through part 2 (which will be around as long as the six chapters in part 1). Part 3 will not be nearly as long as parts 1 and 2, and more like a series of epilogues or addendums. The book is going well (as far as I can judge😊).  The story is mapped-out in my head, but still there is a long way to go. I promise to keep plugging away.
