I intended “Via Dolorosa, Part 2” to be the final segment of the “Ian” tale. I really, really did. Just in the last episode’s commentary, I boasted how quickly I was zipping through time. No turtle-esque, overly detailed pacing, nossir.…

Reader Commentary on ASF Episode #6.05 By Joseph McDonald Note from ASF author Kira Lerner: to enhance the interactivity of ASF, I’ve solicited these reader commentaries, which will be written by an avid ASF reader and community member. All opinions…
Episode #6.05 – Author Commentary (spoilers through 6.05 only)
In “Via Dolorosa, Part 1,” readers at last learn just what happened to Ian Nichols the day of the church massacre and subsequent weeks — a puzzle that seems to be one people want solved already. Well, you all know…
Episode #6.04 – Author Commentary (spoilers through 6.04 only)
And so the second half of “The Price of Gratitude” brings this second installment of the “Six Weeks” miniseries to a close. The whole “The Price of Gratitude” was leading up to the final three or four scenes, of course,…
Episode #6.03 – Author Commentary (spoilers for #6.01 – 6.03 only)
