I think I've heard you mention him once or twice. Not sure I knew he was a sabertooth tiger.

He scared the crap out of Anicetos when he roared in one of the Cafes (don't remember which one) Had to pull him off the ceiling fan.

And then there is my Leroy (the liger who ran the security for the Teacup), who also hangs around with Aeran, and my Obnavat, the chocolate loving dragon who also used to be in the teacup.
Dunno where they went though... At least Leroy is back and hangs with me by the fire. Obnavat is...dunno actually... Oh well. So Hec, when is the next one up and running? These are proving to be fun!

I am working at it tonight, as I did yesterday night. I've gone the plans for Chapter 1 down pat, and plans for chapter 2 as well. Be patient, my duckies

Just want to say that work on the new mystery is finally shaping up very well. I had to toss out some old ideas in order for me to free up my mind for the better ideas. Took awhile. The story is now about half-way finished. It's going to be a bit longer...

Hey, Hector... make sure the new batch isn't burning, okay?
None of us wants to eat burnt brownies... neither is burnt fiction fun to read!

The new mystery is up! You'll be grateful to know that in the process of writing ONE mystery, I ended up writing two! This next one needs some editing, since I took the idea for it from the one I just posted. But it is about 80% done nevertheless. Enjoy!
PS: Yes, more characters appear in this next one. But I have to sacrifice some characters in order to write about others. Juggling too many characters leads to too many different story threads. Which is a good thing if you want to develop different storylines. It can be a bad thing if you are trying to tie a story together and give it a good conclusion . I'll just say that the next one has Sane and Gwai in it...

Hmm.. the new story...
Hhhmmm... *holds chin in cupped hand to appear thoughtful* You confused the heck out of me when you said that we got to 3,461 cookies, but we only needed 3000! Other than that, I quite liked it. I wish I could have heard more of Acally's story. It was hard to remember that she really wasn't drunk, just extraordinarily sleepy. And I think you got it backwards. I would have been the one falling asleep while others around me kept going. Haha. All in all, I give it two thumbs ... no, wait.. hold on, I'll go steal my brother's thumb and give it a quick three thumbs up before he kicks me for pulling on his hand so hard.

I, too, noticed the up and down cookie count.
You said they only needed 3000 even, but by the time they were done, they had made 3,461. And then Mari freaked out and said that the 3,461 that they had made was not enough.... That and in the 8th paragraph is "drawer" not "drawar" I like it though! It sounds like this had happened right after the Teacup War... MAN, that was a fun cafe...ah, the memories.

No, you only needed 1, 461 more cookies . You needed 3,000 in all. That means you had baked more than half already.
Drawar. Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it in my read-through.

Then edit out where midge gives the current cookie count "We're now at 3,461," Midge said
Because it contradicts sharply with "When the cookie count finally reached 3,000 Midge was quite exhausted herself."

Thanks Earniel, beat me to the punch on that one! I had lost the place where it was and wasn't sure if it was just my imagination.
So, is the part two story going to be related to this one? Because this doesn't have the same "Aha! We caught the bad guys, mystery solved, we win" thing as the last teacup mystery, because the elves got the cookie recipe, we are in the dark and they are going to go sell it.
