New Story == Frontier delay
Now the reason that there haven't been any new Chuck vs The Frontier chapters:
Chuck vs the Sunken Treasure
AU: Chuck didn't get kicked out of Stanford, but managed to avoid CIA recruitment.
Sarah's dad managed not to get arrested by the feds and instead fled with his daughter to the Philippines, where they run a marine salvage company.
Coincidentally, when the Roark Seven gaming laptop prototype is lost in a plane crash in the South China Sea, Roark Instruments contracts with Walker Marine Salvage to recover it, sending Chuck to oversee the operation. Sparks fly. Pirates attack. Star Wars is quoted. Not necessarily by Chuck.
Update:
Chapter 4 is up.
So is Chapter 5.

Chuck & Sarah vs the Recruits Preview 3
So, while I'm not going to start posting full chapters of the last story in the Chuck & Sarah vs Themselves Trilogy on FF.net until I finish posting vs the Frontier, loyal blog-watchers will probably continue to get bits and pieces like this one: the first half of Chapter 1, after the break.
Oh, and the action picks up a few weeks after the ending of Chuck & Sarah vs the Bunker. This is probably quite obvious through context clues, but in case somehow you've missed out on the fact that Bunker is the sequel to Themselves, this wouldn't make much sense without having read the second story.

Frontier News!
So... Chuck vs the Frontier just got an ending.
I've had the ending in mind for a while, but the sheer logistics of how to get there have been less than clear. Had a breakthrough and wrote the final scene tonight (I know, I know; stop writing out of order, ninja!)
The good news is that this should help me power through, knowing there won't be any 'whoops, now what?' moments past the Fort Knox whoopsie I mentioned at the end of 29.
The other good news is that Chuck vs. The Frontier is going to be longer than I initially thought, because, well, to make a long story short (and is that every the wrong turn of phrase right there) I've added like three more action sequences that weren't planned originally. So, probably another 10 chapters or so before the end, as opposed to the four or five I was expecting. That's good news, right?
Barring a laptop fire, I should get Chapter 30 up on monday or tuesday, and we'll shoot for at least an update a week from that point forward.

Catastrophe! Averted?
My laptop is... in critical condition.
I nearly lost 30k words on an original work, and am now in the process of trying to back up all the separate files ive got cs vs recruits in before i try to reformat.
windows safe mode refuses to boot, which makes me very very sad.
the last time i had an issue like this i somehow overlooked my thesis and the first six chapters of a novel that i realUly liked.
hopefully things go better this time.
this will likely delay frontier updates, but I dont know for how long...
my phone is the only reliable word processor in my life right now, (and for some reason i cant capitalize thing properly...maybe not that reliable after all) so that makes working with ff.net difficult.
wish me luck.
Update: my laptop is still covered by the 3 yr service agreement i purchased along with it, so this might turn out ok.
