I'm going to make this quick, because, in all honesty, I can't be here right now... which is one of the reasons that I regret to inform you that Sanford High will no longer have a home on UG. It's too weird for me right now. I'm also looking for somewhere a bit more appropriate to host it - somewhere with a slightly higher age limit perhaps.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has read the series - I really appreciate it. And thank you to the guys of UG for publishing it for me.
I'm not cancelling the series per say but it make take me a little while to find it a new home. If anyone would like to be kept updated on this, please feel free to drop me an e-mail at blood_and_gold@hotmail.co.uk
After all my joking, I have actually gone and caught bloody swine flu. And it's horrible. For anyone who's had it, you'll know what I mean. For anyone who hasn't, laugh and I'll come and infect you - you won't be laughing for long. *
I feel really bad, so to make it up for you, I am going to try for a double bill next week, providing of course I am okay.
I hope you're all doing well.

* A joke - I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Well, maybe Hitler.
Hope you all got the message about the move. If not, my last blog will tell you more.
I'm not going to post too much in here because, as is becoming frequent, I'll be posting this before the piece goes up. (If you're wondering, it's because I don't have the brain power to post a blog as 6:30am before I go to work).
You might notice once you've read it that this is the first part ever that I have switched POV! I thought it would be a little fun. Hope it works.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who read the 'Uncut' piece! It was great to see such an interest. I'll be setting up a proper mailing list for any future pieces...once I figure out how.
It's going to be back to the music next week. I'll admit, it feels like it's been forever since Maddy's had her violin in her hands - I'm missing it! Still, with the story being the length it is, it can't be about the music every time. I'm trying my best!
I was supposed to put this up last night but I completely forgot!
It is my duty to inform you that Sanford High has been moved to Thursdays. This is purely because it is more convenient for me and my new work/college schedule. It's hard to juggle work, college, Sanford and a social life with only one day a week to spare, so I'm shuffling things around.
So do not worry, I have not bailed out on you this week. Sanford will be up as usual - just on Thursday!
I hope you've all enjoyed this week's piece. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time out to read the extra scene, and a big thank you to those who offered me feedback. It's been fun and I will certainly be doing it again.
However, I do need to announce that as of midnight on Friday (GMT) I will not be taking any more requests for the uncut scene. So if you want it, and you've not had it yet, now would be the time to request it, as I will not be distributing it after the aforementioned time. As fun as it is, it is also a lot of extra work.
Well, for those of you who’ve been waiting for it (of which
I doubt there are many ), Chapter Fifteen – and its ‘uncut’ scene – are here.
I’m not going to say much about the content, as this blog
will likely be up before the chapter itself and I don’t want to ruin anything.
However, I shall leave the floor open for your questions and comments should
you desire to submit any.
For anyone who, for whatever reason, has not submitted their
e-mail for the uncut scene, or for anyone I might have missed, unlikely as that
is, PM please and I will rectify.
I’d advise you to read Chapter Fifteen first. It makes sense
without it, but you won’t get the flow of the piece if you don’t read it.
Now, to all of you who have sent me your e-mails out of interest in the "Uncut" chapter for Sanford, thanks very much. You may have noticed by now that I've sent you all a slightly impersonal but nonetheless necessary message asking for confirmation of your age. This is not because I'm a killjoy, I just don't want to be illegally distributing to minors. So, assuming you are all of age, all I need back is a short statement saying that you, the undersigned, confirm you are over 18 years of age and are eligable to receive the document. It goes without saying that I take no responsibility for anyone who lies - that's your offence, not mine.
I'm still accepting e-mails if anyone wants to receive the uncut piece and hasn't yet come forward.
I'm really excited about this piece. It's the first of my... shallwe say "adult" pieces that's ever gone public so it'll be interesting to see what you all make of it.
With regard to Chapter Fourteen - pretty straightforward piece really. Nice lesson for you too - 'dyke' is a word to be avoided. Seriously.
Yay, back in business! How long does a week feel, especially when there's so many other stories popping up?!
Anyway, now I'm back on form and very excited. I'm not going to say much about the chapter here (as this will go up before it does ), though, as always, any questions and comments are very much welcomed.
Now, about the big thing I had planned, as mentioned in the rather brief blog of last week. There is a proper sex scene coming up. It's not an alternate, nor is it an addition - it's part of the story. However, it's clear to me that I cannot distribute this via UG - we're talking NC-17 here, not the usual PG-13. However, I will be happy to send it on to anyone who's interested. So, e-mails either by PM or comment and it will be sent out to you when the corresponding chapter is put up (either next monday or the monday after). I'll do my best to try and make the rest of the chapter runs smoothly, but there will be a massive chunk of it missing, so be prepared for an odd one.
As always, thanks for reading and I hope you're all still enjoying it.
This is the second time I have written this blog, so it's not as much as an advance warning as I intended it to be. i guess, in my tiredness, I must have pressed the wrong button.
Okay, this is just to let you know that there is to be no Sanford this week. I'm working on something a little bigger, so it's going to require more time. Also, I start a new job tomorrow and much preparation is in order. There is a third reason, though I shan't be discussing it. Lets just say my inspiration is a little low.
As I sit on the tête-à-tête on my patio, dressed in a lemon
cotton sundress and drinking tea from a smart china cup and saucer, I almost
have to laugh at how quintessentially British a picture I must paint. I can
imagine people thinking of me in a tidy country cottage, observing a vast and
meticulous lawn whilst I take afternoon tea on the rose-bordered terrace. In
actuality, I’m sitting in the back garden of a semi-detached house, in a quiet,
suburban area of Blackpool, a town famed for tacky lights, tackier tourists and
a whole new definition of the word ‘inebriation’. To my right are the
neighbours I know only as the ‘Elderly Uncouth’, for I have never heard a
person over the age of seventy curse so much in my life – and there are two of
them. To my left, of sorts, there is the household of screaming children. At
current, there is only one, but come three o’clock there will be triple that,
and they will be running up and down the street, shoeless, like violent little
savages. To say I do not fit in with this neighbourhood, or, quite frankly,
this decade would be an understatement. I shall await the day when the nice man
with the time machine comes along to take me back to the fifties, where men were men, women were women and children could be sorted out with a stiff cuff on the ear, without anyone charging you for abuse.*
Anyway, regarding this week’s Sanford. Before it is said, I
know – it was meant to be obvious, at least to you lot anyway. Poor old Maddy
doesn’t have a clue, and she won’t do for some time, so enjoy watching her
squirm. I don’t think there’s much I need to say about this piece. It speaks
for itself. When I get around to writing the first year antics of the Sanford
crew, you will learn a little more about Felicity and how she was before she
got bitchy.
Hope you enjoyed it. Please keep reading!

Afterthought - For anyone who's interested, there is actually a Pepe's in my home town. Except it's not a bistro. It's a gay bar.
