A big thanks to any readers who happen to still be around, and good news: barring unforeseen catastrophe, I'll be posting the next story in the spider series soon. The title is Separation Anxiety; look for it some time within the week.

It weighs in at around 25k words, comes to a bit over 50 pages in the PDF version, and features some familiar characters as well as one we haven't seen in a long, long time. I hope you'll enjoy it.

(Unrelated: I also now have a Bluesky account, which is presently barren, but if I'm feeling unusually vigorous perhaps I'll post a preview or two there during the editing process.)
