Tabula Avatar Chapter 65

Several of my stories have been nominated at the Twisting the Hellmouth CoA Awards. Voting is quite complex, and in two rounds; after the first round the top 5 in each category go through to the second round. The first round ends on Wednesday 21st at 21.00 (presumably in American time) and so time is almost up. If you’re eligible to vote there, and haven’t already done so, hurry!

‘Tabula Avatar’ has been nominated in the ‘Overall’ category as Best Crossover Series, in the ‘Crossovers’ category as Best Crossover (Games), and in the ‘Story Types’ category as Best Unfinished Crossover (Other). Also in the ‘Story Types’ category Tentacle Sex and the City is up for Most Porn-tastic Fic. I’m nominated as Best Crossover Author in the ‘Overall’ category, and in the ‘Crossovers’ category The Hour of the Troll is nominated as Best Crossover (Literature). curiouswombat, who goes by the name of Curiouslywombat at TtH, is up for 3 awards for ‘Return of the Key’. All votes gratefully received; there are quite a few excellent stories there to vote for, although obviously I’d prefer you to vote for me.

Here is the next chapter of ‘Tabula Avatar’; late because of wallpapering the bathroom, Christmas, and Storm of Zehir. At long last the Randy and Joan versus Bodhi face-off! Previous chapters can be found HERE. Rating R; this chapter is 7,200 words.
