The Easter Bunny by Pedro

[Camy]

Lovely! Lovely, lovely, lovely. Bring on Chapter 2.

Now, if only I can work out why Colin rings a bell I'll be a happy chap.

[Nigel Gordon]

Great start, now I need chapter 2 urgently.

[Pedro]

Thank you gentlemen for your enthusiasm.

Now if there are ten chapters and the Dude posts one a week...

should be done just before 31 October. 

[Camy]

Great!

Why does that date ring a bell, hmm? Oh yes.

Spoiler

Is there a post Brexit sequel, where all computers in the UK implode, and Patrick and (hopefully) Colin get to scrabble about in a muddy field hunting old turnips for lunch?

Hunting old swedes perhaps, but that is Rutabaga territory and maybe heads towards cannibalism

Oh, Pedro.... I didn't know you only wanted me to post once a week. 

Chapter Two was scheduled for Saturday as usual posting schedule is twice a week.

Please clarify! 😻

Twice a week sounds terrific to me!

Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

I have no particular preference but  PLEASE liaise with Colin as per my emails  of 4Aug.and 25 June.

I always have a preference for my chapter stories to be posted twice weekly, but that is only my opinion and only pertains to my work.  I wonder if it's possible for some writers who prefer once a week postings to have it their way, and for ones who want it twice it week also to be accommodated?

Stories on Codey's World are posted once a week. That schedule is what I can cope with since I work full-time and don't have time to do twice-a-week posting.

While you guys thresh out the publication schedule, I just want to say how delightful this story is so far.  So many interesting threads!  Weaving them together should be a treat.

 

[Camy]

Loving it!

What Merkin said, too.

Chapter 3: oh, the intrigue!

Some have Coronation Street; I have The Easter Bunny.

Hehe. I don’t think the Dude or I have the stamina to keep it up three times a week for sixty years.   EB that is.

[Camy]

It looks like Patrick's five bed villa might turn into a veritable rabbit warren! 😉

 

[Camy]

Chapter five: hangovers and maleficence. The plots progress on all fronts, and mother is getting involved.

Personally, I'd be up for daily, if not hourly, posting. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

[Cole Parker]

The only problem with more than twice a week postings is the stories don't last very long that way.  Isn't looking forward to something half the fun?  Think of it as being a kid with Christmas approaching.  Wow, what excitement.  Except here where we don't have holiday poppers.

I see your point, Cole, I really do. But no! We're children of the age of instant gratification where consumption is all, not the waiting for the van to deliver the thing to the store.

As for poppers...!  

The bottom line (bottom, snicker) is I'm loving Pedro's story, and I'm happy to wait. 👍

Thank you for the plaudits but I am afraid you will still have to wait for the next instalment. To make the time seem to go faster, you could try some displacement activity: shopping to make sure you have  tea , butter, bread (for toast) and a nice marmalade ready for when you settle down to read the next instalment over breakfast on Saturday.  

"Bottom, snicker" - as Patrick might say 'now who is the one with the dirty mind'.

And Patrick would be quite right. Marmalade is important. I'm rather fond of Roses lime... but not tea! It has to be coffee.

Hey ho, Saturday's coming (snicker).

This story just keeps getting better and better. It will be nice to see how it works out.

[Camy]

Lovely Jubbly!

Scott's in so much trouble - and what is it Doug knows? I can't wait to find out!

[Camy]

Chapter 7 and the perfect amount of thickening has been added to the plot. 

I'm rather sweet on mother - a terminator in tweeds. Also, I can't wait to see Doug's father hauled off in handcuffs.

Saturday brings F1 qualifying in Spa and chapter 8. Peachy!

I think my first priority is chapter 8, then qualifying in Spa. I hope chapter 8 is up to Pedro's normal standard, otherwise I know a couple of F1 team members who are going to be upset. I recommended it to them.
