I messed up with that line.  I should have said it was done in base 31.  31's a prime number, so there would be no divisors in your base at all.  Base 33 allows for 3 and 11.

The impact to me would be the same - - - and just as enjoyable

I have a question but I don’t want it to come across as being rude or needy. I haven’t found or seen and synopsis of Agent of Change, so I have been getting lost as the PRM chapters become available. I love the story that I can’t wait for each release of the chapters but I tend to forget what went on previously. Is there any form of summary of what happened previously to Mr. Shilling?

Sure.  I have a very nice calendar of events that lists everything out, day by day when any significant events happen.

...oh, wait, you meant that YOU could see.  Whoops.  tee-hee.


Nope, there's not one.  And honestly, I wouldn't know how to make one for this story, because I wouldn't know how much detail would need to go into it for you to be prepared for future chapters.  Most of the stuff that has happened, will tie into something at some point in the future.  I could very well end up just rewriting the entire book that way.  (Which I'm obviously not gonna do... 400,000 words, all over again?  Nuh-uh...)

My best suggestion is to pay attention to the Writing Status thread, and if it looks like a new chapter's coming out, and it's been a while since you've read AC, go ahead and re-read it.

Eric Storm

Totally understand, wasn’t sure if there was an outline somewhere outside of your brain! I’ll go back to my corner waaay over there and keep rereading it as it comes out I will also say, this seems more “action packed†  as I read since the time frame seems much shorter than WA or either of the CAMP series.

I think that it would be possible for someone that is reading it to make a note of "key moments" and kind of mark them down somewhere to build that out... it wouldn't be a calendar like WA has, as I don't know that any dates are actually mentioned in AC... but it could be a timeline of events as they occur...  And NO I'm not suggestion that Eric do that.  I mean we want him focused on the NEW stuff, not the old stuff!!  (Ok, enough that he can tie up those mentions, as he said, but otherwise...  forward looking! )

As a brief example...  I think the biggest opening events are such:
Summer Camp - WTF
Summer Camp - Meeting the Symbiote
Summer Camp - Accepting the Symbiote
Home Coming

Obviously there are a LOT more events from there (and even between those) and someone that wanted to take the time to do that in a read through could make it much more detailed, or "high level," as they wanted.

But you know... that's just my thought on the matter.

A lot of the key moments can be derived from when certain characters appear, and these are listed at least in the PRM version of the Character List

Not many dates are mentioned, no, but some are implicitly stated.  For instance, both Christmas and New Year's are talked about, so would act as landmarks for that timeframe.  Further, the start of school would certainly give you a general time of year, as would Spring Break, MLK Jr. Day and President's Day, all of which were mentioned.

The only difference between the PRM cast list and the public cast list is that the public cast list does not mention characters or events that happen in still-PRM chapters.  Otherwise, they contain the same information.

Eric, you're frustrating sometimes.  I am hooked on Agent of Change and checking every day for further developments to this lusty suspense filled story.  I hope your muse fills your mind with some more plot twists and we get to experience the fun this story provides to us mere mortals.  Thanks for all you do for us, and I hope your stories keep coming.

You think YOU'RE frustrated???

I am thankful that you make these stories available for our enjoyment.

Yes, I've enjoyed the story so far, so thank you for making these available for us to read.  I've enjoyed a number of your stories.  Keep up the good work.

<sarcasm>
Thank you for making them available but hurry up and make more of it available!!!
</sarcasm>

I mean, I'd love to hear more, but as an author as well, and very much a hobbiest author, I completely understand taking some time to get a story onto the page and properly edited and such.  Sometimes a story just wants to flow out of your head and onto the digital page, and other times you find yourself at a block point... where you're brain, muse and the universe are like...  yeah, this is where you're stuck for a while.  At least it does that to me.

Oh, you left out the part after "this is where you're stuck for a while", where they add in, "But we're also going to make you think about the next scene every single fucking night when you lie down to go to sleep, so that we deprive you of rest, too."

Hi Eric
     I saw your reply about comments (or lack thereof). I came to Wolf Pub following Bistander's Potential story line. I started looking around while waiting for him to post new chapters (a frequent situation). Came across your page and read a number of your stories and then started reading AC. Your writing is well crafted with very few (if any) typos/misspellings. I enjoy reading your stories and Agent is very involved and keeps me coming back. It's complexity keeps me thinking in order to keep up with all the twists and turns. Something most erotic stories don't do. At least from my point of view, your hard work and effort is very much appreciated. Please don't feel under appreciated and please continue to share your erotic tales. I have to apologize for not being enough of a fanboy to see the various character name grabs from other well known franchises that you mentioned in your reply. I check your page (and Bistander's) several times a week for updates. Thank you for taking the time to write these stories and for sharing them with us.

I've been doing this for 26 years now, and I still worry that nobody gives a shit whether I continue or not, so yes, comments are very important.  Your silence is the equivalent of saying, "I don't care if you're here or not," at least in our heads.

Eric,
I KEEP a page open in my browser showing your forum listing and I refresh it at least a few times a week.
I re-read WWA fairly frequently just because I like seeing how you get your characters from point "A" to point "B".
I re-read AoC (at least from a random middle chapter) every time you release a new chapter and enjoy watching the story develop.
You are an important writer to me, and I like how you work puns and other references into your stories. Your humorous presentations are also fun to read and something that keeps me coming back.

Thank you for allowing us to get a glimpse into your fantasies.

I appreciate your feedback.  Now if my muse would just listen to you and let me write something...

Eric Storm

Excellent story can't wait for more

I agree

Eric, I just noticed something on my umpteenth readthrough of this chapter -- I am constantly re-reading your works due to the enjoyment that I get from them.
On the Sunday after Hannah's birthday, Jennifer rents a small moving van to move Hannah's stuff from the warehouse to the main house.
My question is: why rent a moving van when the Berculosi trucks are available to the owner of the company (and were used to get the Units to the city buildings just a short time before)?

(posted from Chapter 25)

Thank you for your question.  I had, in fact, originally planned to use a BE truck.  Here are the reasons I chose not to:

1.  Hannah had two cars' worth of boxes.  A rather small load for a box truck.
2.  Jennifer is not used to driving a box truck, and is probably not comfortable doing so.
3.  Money is not an issue for this family; the daily rental of a van is pocket change to them.

Truthfully, they could just have used the two cars again.  The van was already overkill.  But it made the process a little simpler.

Eric Storm

Well going to comment on the latest chapter.   Still great as always.  Keep on keeping on.

Really enjoying the growth of the company. Will Nick be dealing with other politicians soon like maybe a state representative/senator?

If you've got ideas for things, you know my email address.

Thanks for the new chapter, it was great as always! Looking forward to the next chapter!

I have read Agent of Change from beginning to end and I have enjoyed the theme, the interaction of the characters, and the plots and twists in the story.  I feel it is to bad it has to be fiction we could use "SALT"  to teach us some compassion and how to run our lives with out hate or anger.  Of course the persona interactions of the cast was very riveting to say the least.  A must read as far as i am concerned.
