What does Sir Richard have in store for those who approach his lair?
A fool arrives with little humor and a new demeanor.
A pirate emerges in new threads.
A map on the floor.
An old BentOne appears unbent.
Three ways in for those that can, but are there more?
Attack seems imminent, plans are in place, positions have been taken.
And now we wait.
Before.
Grandpa Jim
Forces march, launch, swirl and gather for the final assault on the East Ridge.
Please take the time and enjoy this 25th chaptersegment, “Gatherings — To The East Ridge.” If this Segment is not on the HomePage, just look for “The Do’s Series” above or to the right and scroll down to “Gatherings.” Click, open and read. This is for you.
The discovery of “The Do’s Series” webwork has challenged and intrigued many over a wide space of time. With origins dating to the Long Ago and even the Age Before, we have followed the recording of this netnovel in the Old Days, reflecting the happenings in the New Days, to the discovery, excavation and reconstruction of the webwork in the Time Again.
Behind all of this, there is a simple story of love, intrigue and persistence. Things seldom appear as they are. Sometimes, what they do is more important than what they are. This our players do. This is their stage. Their story may not, in some sense, be limited in time and space, but what happens is now open to view by you. Perhaps, for the first time, “The Do’s Series” can be seen in all its simplicities and all its intricacies, and remembered for what the players do, will do and have done.
Enjoy,
Grandpa Jim

There is always hope.
It may be slight and far to see.
But there is hope where there are friends planning.
And joining the action that must happen and will soon for us all.
The Pugilist has had his fill of the Dark Count’s ways.
New Peoples join SandRunners.
Commanders plan.
Is Sir Richard mad?
Or smarter than they?
The rest of us here.
Don’t be lulled
Read on.
Now.
Grandpa Jim
The Do’s Series.
A New Hope was last week.
Allies and The Plan To Action are this week.
The goal of reconstructing and presenting a chapter per week continues.
You will be the first to view the gathering of the forces of the New and Free Peoples and to listen with concern to who are Sir Richard’s indentured troops and paid mercenaries that will oppose the freefighters of the New Days of OnceWas.
Behind all of this is the most ancient of questions: “Why does he do it?”
Perhaps that is the most vexing of all.
It certainly is to all.
Saturday,
Grandpa Jim
PostScript: Read all the chapters. Maps and names too. Under “The Do’s Series” pulldown droptab and sidebar herelistings. Please do. While they are here for you to read.
Amazingly, we are at Segment 23 of The Do’s Series webwork net novel.
After the two battles of Glue Days and New Bread, is it time to see how these events may have effected others?
How are LoveJoy KickStart and her friends? What are they saying and thinking? Who is there to help in this time of need?
New friends and new ideas are important, as are old friends and the strong support their memories and words offer.
These are trying times for the New and Free Peoples of OnceWas. Do they now start to gather their forces?
Sometimes, things can start with one unlikely person who feels strongly that all people, no matter how different they may appear, should and must be treated a equals.
Sometimes, often times, it does start with just one person.
Be with us today, and in the future, as
We do find others.

Segment 22 of “The Do’s Series” netnovel is here.
Guard your hearts, eyes and thoughts.
The action is fast and furious.
Is there a way out?
“The Flight to the WildSands”
Can that be the way?
For there run the deep things.
Those not be seen beneath the sands.
Will they be caught, by whom or what that follows?
Guard your hearts, eyes and thoughts.
There may be no other way,
For some, not even
That may work.
Read on.

Thank you for reading “Fight at the RoundAbout — The First Battle of Glue Days & New Bread.”
“The Second Battle of Glue Days & New Bread” is with the editor, awaiting review and possible changes.
The Do’s willing, “Flight to the WildSands” should post tomorrow or Sunday.
Please stay close and away from the things of the WildSands.
There you will need the care of a SandRunner guide.
And a Vila or two to dance away and back.
May your travels be safe and
May you return soon,
GPA Jim

The Third Section of “The Do’s Series” NetNovel is about ready to commence.
Segment 21 is under development and should reach the editor in first draft soon — hopefully tomorrow.
The end of summer and the beginning of the new school year have slowed discovery operations and impeded the speed of reconstructive scrivening.
Action waits on no pen; and events transpire in their own course, which can be both fast paced and unexpected.
To expect the unexpected is neither to foil or spoil, if the expected can truly be unexpected.
You have only a few days to wait and see.
I hope you will be surprised.
I do expect.
It.
Grandpa Jim
