Regressive Tendencies: The Beginning, Chapter 6
This one gets a little emotionally raw at times, but it all made sense to me when I wrote it. It's my favorite chapter so far.
Starring
kammypup as herself, this is a continuation of her character's backstory, and we discussed all of this before I wrote it, and sometimes as I was writing it. When we last left Kammy, she had at least found a place in her new world. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. The last daycare scenes (for a while) take place here. This chapter features Kammy and
Taara (Kammy's character)
Aunt Nadeen (Kammy's character)
Penelope (kind of a joint creation between Kammy and myself)
Sally (I made her up)
Mrs. Enley (I made her up)
Hepzibah, Jeffrey, David, Melissa (I made them up)
August (I made him up)
Dr. Gray (I made him up)
Agents Cordwainer and Sparks (there at the end; I made them up too)
Special guest appearance by
luring
I've finally got a few days of vacation that aren't days when I have to do some other work. Woohoo! So I'm catching up on some things that badly need catching up on. This is one of them.
[I reposted to change the format a bit so it would be more readable and match the format of the previous chapters.]

Well, I'm glad to hear that it's engaging! I am working on the next two chapters. My plan is that when I get a first draft of chapter 8 done, and when
kammypup has OKed the final version of chapter 7, then chapter 7 can be posted.

It's nice to see all of the links to the comic in this. ;)
I had read it some time ago but meant to fav and comment while it's still fresh. That didn't go so well, but I just remember this was a remarkable piece of writing.
You did a wonderful job setting the mood, especially the very difficult scene of aunt Nadine's breakdown. It definitely made you feel for them both, neither one wants to separate but I know how Nadine feels, when you think that there's nothing ahead of you but burdens... I'm just glad that her first 'call for help' was not her last.
Looking forward to more. ;)

Thankoo for all your excellent comments!
I didn't know how this chapter was going to go -- I knew somehow Aunt Nadeen was going to put Kammy in foster care, but didn't know why she would do that -- until I just put two and two together and figured that she was already pretty much at her limit and just needed one more straw, like the discovery that Kammy hadn't grown an inch since she came back. She doesn't want Kammy to be harmed but doesn't trust herself either.

You're welcome! ;) I definitely believe in supporting good writing.
I can see it too, it's definitely a realistic response in my opinion. Sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't just because it's the only way we can see forward. I'm certain she still cares about Kammy, though obviously she needs some time to work through her own anxieties. I know how that is.

Not dead! I need to just sit down and write down another chapter. It's partly there, and the rest is in my head. Then I need to repeat that process a couple more times until the story is "done." By "done," I mean until the story meets up with where Kammy herself picks it up.
It's the end of this chapter of the story, anyway. I have another chapter that I hadn't been intending to post until the following chapter was done. I still intend to finish this story, which was meant to be a 10-part story. Something happened after I wrote this one, though ā I'm not sure what. I think I might have either burned myself out or scared myself. Anyway, the agents have come to take Kammy out of what they've been told is a dangerous situation and put her somewhere temporary until they can place her with adoptive parents. Off she goes into a world of foster parents who see a baby when they look at her and where nobody believes she's 16.
I love Kammy's origin story! I sure hope you are planning on finishing it, but even if you don't, I just wanna say you're a good writer. I noticed how your writing improved from chapter to chapter and I hope you will continue to write in the future, whatever story you want to write ^^
