Blimy what a lot off updates you had!!

Hello everyone!

Sorry to have missed a few announcements of late, but connection to internet has been erratic, due to technical problems in the last weeks. It didn't stop me from posting any updates, but they have been far in-between, and I wasn't able to come online as often as I'd like.

Things seem back to normal now, so I'll take this opportunity to announce the past updates that weren't announced in the past weeks, as long as this week's updates!

April 21, 2013 has seen the reposting of the sixth chapter of MURKY WATERS, this webmaster's story that has been a long time going.

On April 29, 2013, chapter 7 of the same MURKY WATERS has been posted and very soon, the next chapter will follow. The reposting will be done with chapter 8, and then, the story will continue. It's going well right now, so you should see the ending soon!

In the meantime, still on April 29, links were posted to two stories stored on the Fanfiction.net website:

ORIGIN OF AN ANGEL
by Don Sample. Drabble. Spectrum briefs some new recruits. Crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Story archived on the Fanfiction.net site. ff 525

ROYALTY IN DANGER
by Jcamts. Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue have to protect the Queen of England from the Mysterons. With surprises on the way. Story archived on the Fanfiction.net site. ff 526

Finally, on May 29, 2013, the long-awaited follow-up to Lady Hawke's THE SHAPE OF THINGS is posted, for everyone to enjoy:

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING...
Seeking to discover the true mystery of the Mysterons, Captain Scarlet goes against orders to utilize a piece of advanced technology. By experimenting with Professor deRavin’s electrode-studded helmet, Scarlet’s hope is to tap into the Mysterons’ hive mind and discover useful information dealing with a new entity- The Guardians. But will the Mysterons notice Scarlet’s inner wanderings and seize his mind to their control once more? And will the shape-shifter, Ehlora Piper, assist and guide Scarlet to the information which might save his Earth from their shared and deadly enemy? This is Lady Hawke’s 11th Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons story. ff 527
