And she does just that my Bro! That was another part of the fun in this project...taking a good girl and really bringing out her wild side!

'Barefoot Black Sheep' is awesome! How soon until can we see the remaining chapters, I want to see how it ends.

Thanks for the compliments joecool!

The story went A LOT longer than Dennis or I thought it would, but it's FINALLY coming to an end very soon. After the story is finished, I have to do some artwork for it and assemble the site on which it will appear.

Thanks for your interest, and hang in there my Bro! I'll be happy to let you know when everything is ready.

I just wanted to bump this back up. It's too good to get lost!

Thanks Bro.

In case anybody's wanting to know where this project stands at the moment, here's a little bit of a run-down:

The story itself is finished, but as I mentioned earlier it went a whole lot longer than Dennis or I planned. We've clearly got some turning points and cliffhangers to work with in the story, so expect Barefoot Black Sheep to get serialized into "episodes".

Now, while the story itself is finished, we've still got the epilogue to write...just one last chapter to tie up some loose ends. I'm in the process of doing a rewrite on it, and I'll hopefully have this done reasonably soon.

Some artwork and graphic designs have been completed for the site.

So hang in there folks, Stephanie's barefoot adventures are coming as soon as they can! I hope everybody will enjoy the ride.

Here are two pre-production Stephanie sketches by none other than Crabapple himself. I was more than pleasantly surprised when I suddenly received these and several other drawings of her in the mail the other day, let me tell you! Enjoy!

Hey, I just wanted to bump this back up. It's way too good to get lost!

I fully agree with you, this story is excellent, a wonderful saga.

Thanks for the nice words guys! It's actually kind of embarrassing how long this project has taken, and there STILL isn't a site or anything to show for it. Without going into a bunch of gritty details, there's been a literal truckload of setbacks...everything from deaths in the family to extra jobs to power outtages lasting over a week...if it means setting me off from working on this project, then odds are it'll happen. Glad you Gents are enjoying the preview...all of it will come to fruition one day. Which day, well, anybodys' guess is as good as mine, because I sure don't know!

But don't give up any kind of hope just yet. Dennis and I are still working on this here and there...we've both got pretty full schedules so getting to it has been challenging for the both of us...but we haven't given up the ghost.

Hi Lou

Well, until you find a proper site, I am sure this forum would make the work very well and that we all would enjoy the following chapters :-)

Another idea would be making it in MySpace, just like the BarefootSorority stories

Hey, just wanted to bump this back up. It's way too good to lose!

Hey, thanks for the bump-up Bro! Very much appreciated.

Well, as if anybody was still waiting for this entire story to hit the internet, as you can see the arrival time for both this tale and the site to which it'd belong has been postponed indefinitely. To make a long story short, the truth is I've just had too many irons in the fire and been distracted with too many other projects to really knuckle down and post this stuff, let alone do all of the artwork that I'd like to do for it. But on the positive side I haven't given up on the idea, so who knows? Anything could be possible one day. And of course if and when something happens I'll be sure to let you guys know about it.

In the meantime, here is one of the completed drawings. This is the first "real" drawing of Stephanie that I'd ever done (never mind all the little sketches and things beforehand), and I'm pretty sure the readers will know which part of the story this scene belongs. I hope you folks like it.

Holy crap, Lou! That is some awesome art! Stephanie is HOT! You just know everybody's going to be eager to see more! Is that all done on computer, or is the figure hand drawn?

I know what you mean about too many irons in the fire, though. I'm a victim of it myself.

Wow! Great picture to go with a great story.

I've been reading it on and off for a little while, haven't finished it yet. I really like it. Is there anything more beautiful in this world than an angsty teen barefoot girl?

Hoping to see more pictures of Stephanie. I love the art style.

P.S. I'm an old fan of Dennis' Mara stories
