Cavegirl Combat, week 96

And we are done!

Of course, I had originally planned on this story being about 30 pages long. But I kept getting new ideas.

The sequence where Mika slams Oko on the rock, for example, was a late addition, and required some reworking of pages both before and after.

I have, by rough estimate, twenty pages that I ended up dropping from this story.

Perhaps I'll be able to repurpose them.

I left the issue of Kalika's plans for revenge unresolved. I sort of know how I want that to go, but I don't know if I'll undertake it. That was another late addition that required changes, although not many.

Of course,  I don't know if I'll even be alive by the time your read this. As of today, the cancer treatment is working – and working better than usual, according to my oncologist – but that's no guarantee that it will continue to work.

As I write this, there is also the chance, depending on the outcome of the presidential election, that I will lose coverage for my cancer treatment and have to stop. This is an issue with home state politics as well as national; it doesn't mean the same thing will have happened everywhere else.

This is far and away the longest catfight story I have ever attempted, or completed. As I've said before, I don't think I'll ever try one of this length again.

Again, thanks for your patience during 2012's interruption.

Peace out.

  6. There are a lot of strange corners of the web, but watching the posthumous work of a man I've never met unfold to become his swan song is both uplifting and melancholy all at once. And that the subject of that swan song is catfighting just proves that there are a million things that many people find distasteful which others find inspiring and worthy. I'm glad he found joy in making it, and decided to share it with us.

    Thanks for the work, sir. Swift wings to the soul's journey. And thank you, Slid, for helping to deliver his gift. I hope I'll have such a devoted friend when the time comes. :)

  7. What a pity that it's the last (long) story from Cameroon, but greatful at least could that he was able to finish this masterpiece.

    And indeed, thanks Slid for continuing posting his work!

    Peace.
