Revisions to #2

I'm finally in the final stages of getting the second episode of UC ready to send out.  I had to toss it out to some critiquers, though I didn't get as much feedback as I usually like on my drafts.  That means that all the final revisions will have to come directly from my own head instead of being inspired by someone else's suggestions.  I guess I can just hope it doesn't reflect too poorly on the final result, heh.

I've started the third episode, which I hope to finish within the next couple of weeks.  I'd like to start getting the stories done faster so I can get them edited and revised sooner.  The series is about to enter some tricky territory, though, with the major story arch becoming more prominent.  In the third episode, we'll see more of the biggest baddie the Leaguers have to tumble with, and that's not going to be easy to write.

I also have to keep all of that in mind as I continue to revise the second episode, because there are certain foreshadowing details that need to come out as the story progresses.  And the second episode is longer than the first.  It's not easy to add in all the required elements while still keeping the story under 5,000 words.  I'm working on it, though...
