The Ocean - 5 is up, and it is a wee bit brisk this morning, having finally hit -20 F with the sun up. For those of you who don't live in cold climes, that means that your cheeks get numb enough that you have trouble enunciating.
To thank readers for helping out the story and participating on the site, I've started a points system. When there are 25 points, I'll post an extra update.
Here's how it works:
To have points added to the total for ratings, reviews, etc., please send me the link.
Currently the total is 21/25!
Alexandra Erin compiled this great list of all the nominations and voting pages for the Rose & Bay Awards for crowdfunded creativity. MUCH easier than wading through the landing page. If you enjoy a work such as weblit or webcomics, go check out the nominations and vote!

Useless Trivia
I originally saw Alan's eyes as dark blue. And then I was just like, there are simply too many blue-eyed, blonde people in fiction (did anyone else notice that Jim's and Bones' eyes magically exchanged colors in the new Star Trek???). Brown eyes are highly underrated.
Also, dried orange peels, while they do go fwoosh, do not actually make good fire-starters when you accidentally let the woodstove burn out.
