Round up of earlier writings

Right; boredom wins out!

Primarily for the edification of [livejournal.com profile] snorkelmaiden and [livejournal.com profile] telemeister (who, I think, has already read the earlier stuff).

There is actually very little Dimpler Towers stuff available – I have a little more that was written in the first person (parts 1-3) and which appeared on a blog I used to keep but which is now long since deleted. That blog was actually called Chad Dimpler: Election Analyst and was a place I tried for about 18 months or so to comment upon things happening in the news locally and globally. The joke goes back to the ‘dimpled chads’ in the US Presidential election of what, November 2000.

Anyway, a lot of that was written under the pseudonym and in time started collecting a supporting cast. I don’t propose to repost any of that because it weaves then current events with the antics of Chad Dimpler and his staff etc. I believe that [livejournal.com profile] mollpeartree may have seen some of it in its original setting by sheer chance.

I may re-edit and re-write some of it at some point, but Dimpler Towers has moved on in my mind at least. Chauncy Newage was far more the odd ball vicar in those days, and some of his parishioners thought he might be a closet pagan.

These days he is far more mainstream and his story will build (if build is the word) around a misunderstanding about precisely how High or Low Church he is, together with the vexed question of the fate of (the immobile) Great Uncle Archie’s bought and paid for pew, and the horror of the pink surplice.

Part 4 was never finished – I may return to it one day or it may be revisited as a later part, parts 5, 6, 7 and 7a are linked below. You have seen the latter two today and a couple of weeks ago.
