  1. I, for one, await new works with bated breath. But luckily I have 2.5 more Spiral Arm books which need finishing to keep me occupied.

  3. I also eagerly await for more. But I am also curious about the jump in Opus No. from 112 to 998.

    1. I had reserved #900 et seq. as placeholders for ideas not yet fully worked out. Once an idea starts accumulating paragraphs and the like, it gets a slot on the regular list. Hence 998 and 999 are about due to get regular op numbers.

      However, your comment reminded me that there are several other stories that are hanging in the limbo of 999-land.

      I shall post a follow up, complete with some teaser paragraphs.
