Best Laid Plans, Part 1
Added 2018-09-10 12:00:03 +0000 UTCBack in February, I completely revised Best Laid Plans to fix consistency problems and bring it in line with events in Summer Camp: Christy.
I edited or rewrote about 60% of the story. The basic plot and events are the same as the original version, but I added several scenes and completely revised others.
Now is a good time to release the revised version here on Patreon, since we just finished SC-C, Ch20. (BLP takes place between Ch20-21.)
Also, I'm posting the installments as ePub and PDF files, so you'll need to download them.
Last and most important, THE LINKS WILL EXPIRE IN ONE WEEK! So download now:
If you're reading on a mobile device and can't unzip files, here are direct links to the ePub and PDF files.
Remember, the links expire at 12 AM (US Eastern) on Sept 17.
I'll post Part 2 next week, and Part 3 the week after that. Same routine.
Enjoy!
- Nick
P.S. - Apologies if you've already read the new version. Lots of people haven't, so I decided to post for everyone.
P.P.S. - Each part of BLP is twice the length of one of my normal chapter installments. So you're getting extra bang for your buck this week. Yay!

Also reading the Christy Novels and would love to read this, but can't find it anywhere.
2022-02-08 23:36:41 +0000 UTCI’m reading the Christy Novels and I’d love to read BLP. However it’s gone from all distributors. I am willing to purchase it. Just need a method of doing so! Please let me give you my money. ;)

2022-01-22 14:30:59 +0000 UTCSorry. The links were available for more than a month. It was a limited-time offer, and they're expired now.

2018-11-04 17:11:00 +0000 UTCMe too, J Alan. Although I was in Australia. Did you get the links? I would love to have the links everyone!
2018-11-04 08:03:41 +0000 UTCDarn it - off on vacation for 3 weeks in Canada and missed the deadlines. :( Never mind, upped my pledge to VIP and got the full downloads... :)

2018-09-28 14:35:28 +0000 UTCAlso missed the time window. Mind sending me the links for parts 1 and 2? Thanks.

2018-09-21 11:43:54 +0000 UTCHey Nick, been travelling and only just started to sort emails, readings etc. I just grabbed pt 2... Any chance of an email with a pt 1 link. Thanks in advance...
2018-09-21 06:12:22 +0000 UTCIf you could find it in your heart, could you possibly send me the link as well? I'm also one of the poor fools.who missed the deadline, I just don't have an cool excuse - I just didn't read my emails thoroughly.
2018-09-21 05:12:13 +0000 UTCRelatively new patron, but long time reader, had eye surgery the same day you sent this out. Snagged part two today, please send link to part one. Thanks -- I will send you a letter later, but your writing changed my life, for the better, I might add!

Nick Scipio
2018-09-18 20:14:44 +0000 UTCNick, I missed the deadline! Is there a way I can access Part 1 yet?
2018-09-18 18:07:00 +0000 UTCThanks loads, piles, and heaps.
2018-09-18 17:28:56 +0000 UTCI just sent you the info.

Nick Scipio
2018-09-18 14:07:50 +0000 UTCsame here, nick. damn
2018-09-18 09:31:28 +0000 UTCDamn - just went to download Part 1 before midnight in AZ, and found expired on EDT. Missed it - it's now password protected. Bummer!
2018-09-18 04:35:47 +0000 UTCJust missed out on reading part 1. Though, my fault for double checking what this was about. oops on me. :x

2018-09-18 01:37:22 +0000 UTCRecent member of Patreon just getting caught up on Book 5 and BLP. The references to the Vietnam era in Chapter 11 and BLP sound like many veterans I know. Even many that were never in combat don't talk about their service. Politics of the time divided the United States nearly as much as today. Many served only because the draft gave them no choice. However, many that had the money to go to college called them "war criminals" and worse.
2018-09-16 17:23:24 +0000 UTCPerfect! Glad it was something simple.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-14 19:15:29 +0000 UTCNick, thank you for giving me an idea about what went wrong. I had thought it would be direkt download link but telling me the link opened the download page made the coin drop for me. It has worked now.
2018-09-14 19:06:35 +0000 UTCDoes it give you an error? Check your Downloads folder. Also, you have to click the link (above) and then click the Download link once the Sync page loads (Sync is the service I use to host the files). Let me know if you still have problems. Or email me directly and we'll figure it out.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-14 15:01:41 +0000 UTCI have tried to download BLP using the offered links but neither of them is working for me. Isn't ist covered by my pledge? But it says $3+. So what am I doing wrong here?
2018-09-14 13:22:25 +0000 UTCChristy got worked up just the thought of Paul and Erin together. How much more about this? It won't be a surprise if she ended up having an orgasm right then and there when she learns that it's the other family member Paul ended up with.
2018-09-13 23:35:54 +0000 UTCYeah, sorry. I suspect the new version might have a different ISBN, but I'm really not sure. Like I said, my publisher handles the technical details.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-13 14:14:40 +0000 UTCso I bought the original version via Amazon a few years back... tried deleting it off my Kindle and redownloading it hoping to get the new version... nope only gives me the old version. Guess I have to wait for the VIP download option.
Jon Cary
2018-09-13 08:15:55 +0000 UTCThanks, Mark. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-12 14:11:03 +0000 UTCFor some reason, I never read the original version of this story. Maybe I missed it, or maybe I was waiting to get to this point in SC-B5 to avoid spoilers/confusion. Can't remember. But this is HOT, so HOT, and I love it. I can't help wondering what Christy will think about it, but I can't wait to see next week's installment.
2018-09-11 16:36:27 +0000 UTCBeen a while. I honestly can't remember, though.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-11 13:26:36 +0000 UTCI believe it's updated. The cover looks right for the new version, although you might not have received a notification. Try it and see if you can download it again if you already bought it. Here's the link: <a href="http://a.co/d/46YwbKW" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://a.co/d/46YwbKW</a>
Nick Scipio
2018-09-11 13:25:54 +0000 UTCWhat was the last time Paul got it on with his sister, again?
Tony B
2018-09-11 13:14:38 +0000 UTCWill the Amazon Kindle version get updated for those who bought it there?
2018-09-11 03:42:05 +0000 UTCYes, for VIPs.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-10 19:17:22 +0000 UTCCheck your Downloads folder. I just tried it, and all files downloaded fine. So it's something a little wonky on your end.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-10 19:16:26 +0000 UTCNick, will you post a single, complete story epub file when post part 3? TIA
Robisan
2018-09-10 19:12:35 +0000 UTCI just be doing it wrong, I click on the download and open links (Chrome, Safari, both on macOS) and nothing haoppens.
2018-09-10 18:43:51 +0000 UTCTry the ePub version instead. You can load it in iBooks on iOS. I don't know Android, but I'm sure there are several eBook readers available.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-10 17:40:26 +0000 UTCUh... this <em>is</em> the installment.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-10 16:29:29 +0000 UTCNot cell phone friendly format. Text is way way too small to be displayed comfortably without continually scrolling side to side even sideways.
2018-09-10 15:42:21 +0000 UTCWhere is this weeks installment of SC?
2018-09-10 15:39:34 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome. Enjoy.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-10 14:36:10 +0000 UTCI updated it at Amazon, but you'd have to buy it again to get the revised version. So this is the best way.
Nick Scipio
2018-09-10 14:36:02 +0000 UTCThanks. Imaginary hug right back at ya. 🤗
