As promised and nearly a week late, the end of The Ritacha War. I know some of you are wondering, "That's it? Where's the war? Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to have been an Earth-shattering kaboom!"

I never meant for there to be a huge battle in this series. This is all about Sandahl and Darch and company dealing with the stress of their lives, new circumstances, and one hell of a self-imposed deadline. There are matters unresolved, and I'll be dealing with them in future events.

There are whole subplots missing, thrown aside because I couldn't fit them in, or they wouldn't gel with the rest of the series: Ken falling in lust with a dragon, for example, or one dealing with Tylia's "other life", the one she has outside the Castle.

I'm up to episode 263. By my schedule, I should be releasing episode 264 next Friday. (Assuming a twice-monthly release schedule and a month off every year.) Ah, well. I said I would try to stay on schedule. I never promised that I would make it. Besides, I've been writing other things. Does that count?

Speaking of "count", if you put the argument "?count" after the url on the index pages, you'll get a word count as well. Try it.

For my next trick, I stab Ken in the back. Episode 264, "The llerkin Moment," October 3rd.

The Excitable Boy album, which has all those songs, is a bit spotty. His most consistent studio albums are probably the self-titled release, and 2000's Life'll Kill You, but both the recent anthologies, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead and Genius, are really strong.
