There are several fragmentary sketches and articles dating from before the 26th, and there also exist a couple of other short items from the War which will hopefully be posted here at some time in the future (if there’s sufficient interest).
I’ll be updating this list periodically during the upcoming turns, though as I mentioned before, I won’t be doing a story every turn. A new submission every two or three days is rather more than I usually do without being paid. (Writers don’t get much; basically, I’m usually just being reimbursed for the price of copy paper. I think I need a new agent.)
Finally, there’s the first Action News story, which was an expose on post-limit cloning; that has nothing whatever to do with war coverage, and can be found here:
(We are reliably informed that the loophole that permitted this has been closed, and so the article is of no more than the slightest interest, for curiosity value.)
