The final version of Trollstuck, chapter 5, complete with illustration, is now up on AO3! It would have been up a couple days ago but I have had a shitty week -- we are ridiculously short-staffed at the smoke shop since both RE and PB left, and PM still hasn't so much as called any of the job applicants in for an interview because aside from one guy who was kind of ehhh, they have uniformly sucked -- and fighting MS Paint to get any sort of usable result is, shall we say, a challenge.
I really need a better art program. (Speaking of which, anyone have any advice on that front? Cheap and simple is best, since I will not be using it as a regular thing once I'm done with this story. Or failing special programs, even advice on a stylus and pad or whatever would be nice because half the trouble I have with MS Paint is that a mouse is really not anything like a pencil. (The other half is pixel compression issues. God, why can't a black line and a white background stay a black line and a white background? Why must they blur and fragment into scraggy grays every time I save or open a file?? WHY???))
Anyway, I'll probably start chapter 6 on Sunday, once I know whose POV I'll be writing. :-)
