An update to Bound by Stone Circles exists. It's in the stories section. And the observant amongst you will have noticed two things:
A) It's late.
B) The name has changed.
TBH, I liked the initial name. It resonates better. However, it sort of promised something that won't be happening in this instalment. I've been playing around this options, and this works, but not quite as well. I'm still working on it, and might go so far as to change the name of the Mediator's home city to Endless Circles. It is located on Lake Endless, and the title does fit the premise of the story. It just might get confusing. Anyway, it's just the title, and it's malleable.
A reason this was late is that I have been playing around with some LLMs, and seeing what sort of a breast they are. They are powerful, but they don't offer the flexibility of doing it yourself. If you have a subtle pose or message in mind, then it can be tricky to get the software to portray it. But, you're never going to get a work of genius from these things - they are like an advanced autocomplete system: they will work with what they've been trained on, but they will never go beyond that. They're handy for quick and dirty visualization though. I'll put up a few samples in the elusive images page.
Anyway the update to Stand in Stone Circles Bound by Stone Circles is up in the stories section. I know where this story is going, there is a resolution, and there are reunions and recriminations to come in the future.
Oh, and Merry Holiday Xmas Seasons to all.
