Episode Twelve is up! I know it’s been a while, and I appreciate everyone’s patience. Unfortunately the content of the chapter itself doesn’t seem to warrant such a long lead time, as it’s mostly just talking heads, but it leads into a couple of interesting twists, so hopefully in the long run this will find it’s place.
Expect an Epilogue in 2-3 weeks that will be a bit “splashier” than this last installment of Ghosts, and I think once Darkness Falls cranks up (whenever that might be…it’s going to be a long process) everything will be worth the wait.
Thanks again! Let me know any feedback as always.

Just wanted to give folks an update. Now that I have the new camera, I’ve wrapped up shooting for the final installment of Ghosts (Episode 12). I do want to warn folks, though, that it’s pretty much a “bridge” episode from Ghosts to Darkness Falls, and there isn’t a whole lot of action in it. There will be an epilogue posted in a couple of weeks that has a bit more “flash” to it, but just didn’t want folks to be let down when this gets posted this weekend.
I’m also considering if there’s anything I should do between Ghosts and Darkness Falls. DF is a BIG story…it’s sort of the culmination of my dio-story career, so it is going to take a looooong time to produce it. So if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Just keep in mind, any time I devote to an “in between” story will take time away from DF itself. 😉
Thanks to everyone for their patience. I’ve got a neat surprise in mind for the production of Darkness Falls that I’m hoping people will enjoy.

So you’re all set to produce your first Dio-Story. Congrats! But having the script, having the software, and knowing how to make the Speech Bubbles is only a small part of the story. The next small step is knowing where to go for all of those funky fonts, customized word balloons, or stock images that you might need to move forward.
