I still have no timetable on MPC4. I've hit a bit of a bump in the road motivationally speaking, where I'm just not as excited to write. I'm still working on it, but slowly. Right now I might even be forced to split up what once was 4 into 4 and 5.
As regards to the Phil Phantom stories, I'll say what I always say: I know they're not as popular. I don't care. I'm happy some people read and enjoy it, but I'd continue to write them even if every other feedback told me to stop. It's part of my process. There are times when I just don't feel like writing in my normal style... in those times, I often CAN write a Phil Phantom style, because it takes a completely different part of the writing muscle, and it's easy... and when that's the case, the very act of writing in the form tends to refresh my enthusiasm for my normal style. The reverse is true, although to a lesser extent, so by bouncing back and forth I can be more productive. Unfortunately, there are some occasions, like the last few weeks, when I haven't been too excited about either style, and I'm hoping editing and releasing may help do the trick. In any event, if you don't like them, don't read them. They're always clearly marked, and I won't be offended. With respect to the merits of the original author, I'll just say sometimes there's a place for sublety, and sometimes there's a place for outright raunch.
What you say about SF and erotica may or may not be true, but I am going down that road nonetheless, out of my own interest. Again, if you don't think it's interesting, I won't be offended if you don't read it, but if I don't write the stories that interest ME, then it becomes work, and the more it's work, the less I'll do anything. I will almost certainly be releasing the first part of one of two 'Sci-Fi Serials' in the next couple weeks. There's an informal poll in a sticky post of the /elit/board of a chan some 92 units lower than this one to help me decide which one. I don't want to duplicate efforts by running two of them.
