It almost fit, it really did! Yet, alas and alack, more subdivisions.

The story took over the challenge likely at its inception so I'm not going to stress too much about keeping the updates orderly, so long as I'm playing the rotations.
And I'm not going to stress at all about prising a few hundred characters from wherever they may be spared just to make it fit.

Stuff happened. Loads. If you're interested in finding out what-the-stuff, please read on!

(This was my Part Two teaser pic, and I guess it still is regardless of what I call these divisions. On with the rest...)

( These Beeches Aint Loyal...(Part One: B) )

It's Spring! And Widespot kind of already ran on woohoo; who's woohooing whom, who used to, who wants to...So it should
come as no surprise if the spring fever spreads around here like an epidemic! Without further adieu, here goes Round 3.


Actually, now there's a little further adieu. I really, really didn't want to further subdivide this but I cannot devote another minute to trimming the fat from the html or figuring out what other scenes I can cut. Yes, it's wordy. Isn't it always? But I arranged and wrote it as one "Part One" so it still is to me. The cut-off's pretty arbitrary, I just found the halfway mark. And now:
( These Beeches Aint Loyal...(Part One: A) )

*I'm sleepy, so I'm going to go attend to that, but subpart B (sheesh) will probably be up before anyone has even seen A.*

Round 2! And we're kicking it off by flouting the rules once again (though I did play my founder first).

( Winter )

Daytona searched out a newspaper in the town next over. She had to know if folks were talking about her ill-fated bid for nomination to run for office.
They say no news is good news. She should've remembered that.


(Of course it all boils down to the way I've interpreted the story but so much did happen in their respective weeks that I felt compelled to break up the season and criss-cross the Beeches and Harts posts, for the sake of continuity and a bit of dramatic license. The other families do contribute their fair shares to the drama but they were able to keep it contained, more or less, to their own rotations.)
( Late Autumn )

The original Widespot families each have an aspiration theme. The Beeches are Popularity.
All of them. This works out rather well for Daytona as the Founder.
