Vol. 1, Issue 12 -- Tuesday, March 24th, 2016

Howdy, Patrons!

It's been a busy week here at the Ranch, but not so busy I'll miss a post. You'll see part 13 of THE CULT OF MAXIMUS on Friday, most likely -- sorry for the delay, but sometimes these things can't be helped!

What was I busy with? Why the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk to Fight Suicide of course! This past Saturday, May 21st, I went up to San Francisco and trekked 16.7 miles through the city from 7:30 PM - 3:30 AM in order to bring awareness to suicide prevention and raise money for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. With the help of dozens of generous donors, I was able to raise nearly $2,000 for the cause!

I crashed hard on Sunday morning, and I was barely able to walk until this morning. On top of that, I was feeling under the weather with a bit of a cold that largely seems to be over by now, thank goodness. So I'm back in the saddle -- just in time to catch up with work at the day job and a few things here at the Jackalope Serial Company!

As you might have guessed, we're past the introduction phase for THE CULT OF MAXIMUS; things will start to happen a little faster now. I hope you guys are liking the ride so far, regardless! Once chapter three is finished (this week) and I begin on chapter four, I'll circle back and revise chapter one for posting elsewhere.

Just so you know, chances are I won't be putting my stuff up on FurAffinity any more. With the considerable amount of downtime and the security breach, it's just too dodgy a proposition. Testing the waters with a Twitter poll, I learned that most folks would like to see new stuff go up on Furry Network, Weasyl and SoFurry -- in roughly that order. Here is my digital presence elsewhere, if you're inclined to follow me:

Twitter: @serialjackalope or @jakebe

Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/jakeberabbit

Furry Network: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/jakebe/

Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~jakebe

SoFurry: https://jakebe.sofurry.com/

Let me know if you prefer any of these sites over all others -- it can be exhausting trying to keep up with so many, so any chance I can consolidate my presence I'll definitely take!

That's all for now, buckaroos. See you on Friday with the end of chapter three!
