Five years after graduation, Daniel Sharabi’s life isn’t all that he hoped it would be. With little sign of improvement in his pathetic psionic abilities, his prospects for a future with the Psi Collective are less than rosy … until Victor hin’Kavos offers him a possible way out.

Daniel and Victor meet their fellow operatives for the upcoming smuggling job, including one whom Metamorphs will find familiar.

Until then, keep it on the bright side!

Stumble it!
This happened with both episodes 9 and 10 - I am subscribed in iTunes and the episodes supposedly downloaded completely, but when I went to listen #9 stopped at 35 mins and #10 at 24 minutes…
Am I doing something wrong? Are other people having this problem?
I loved the first 8 eps, and was looking forward to the novel, and have had fun with what I’ve heard so far, but am frustrated…
Thanks for any help you can give me…
Hi Melody!
I’ve had that happen to me occasionally with other podcasts, where an episode appears to download completely and then is cut off. I think it has to do with your individual connection to the RSS server at the time when you download, because the episodes downloaded for me without any trouble. I would suggest downloading the episodes manually, either from the iTunes Music Store or from the website (http://metamorcity.com/episodes/MCP_009_making-the-cut-ch-01.mp3 and http://metamorcity.com/episodes/MCP_010_making-the-cut-ch-02.mp3). If you try those things and it still doesn’t work, let me know!
Keep it on the bright side,
Chris
Ah, temptation — the beginning of all evil. The question is, is evil worse than the status quo?
Hey, who did Denise’s (Kevin’s client) voice?
Mmmmm, sexy….
Why, that would be Cat of the Lipstick Aliens Podcast! She’s listed on the cast page, but I forgot to mention her here — that has now been amended. Thanks, CK!
Some questions for you Chris,
Is Victor the one to kill Abby’s Unborn Child? Or was he the dad of the unborn Child?
Do you have the book already made or are you making the book as you podcast? I know you have a synopsis of the story and I am wondering if you are doing the story as you go along or if you have the book made up and just using the time to make the podcasts??
Hi Paul!
Is Victor the one to kill Abby’s Unborn Child? Or was he the dad of the unborn Child?
Well, obviously the child in question hasn’t been conceived yet, so at the moment he’s neither.
If you want hints on what’s gonna happen, listen to what Abbey tells Mother Anna in part 2 of “Troubled Minds.” Obviously she’s not telling Anna the whole story, so you’ll have to pick out the truth for yourself, ’cause I don’t want to give away any more than I already have!
I’m still finishing up the book; at this point I’m on Chapter Twenty-Five out of about thirty. My hope is to be finished by the end of March.
Thanks for the comments, and keep it on the bright side!
Cheers,
Chris
Chris,
I’ll do that but I still have theories about Abby and Victor and I’ve got ideas about what happened but I’ll wait to see!!
Thanks
I think Jenna talk about it, at least I know one thing!!!
I know who killed the unborn but I now I’m sure I’ll find out!! 
The Psi Contact knows all and tells all!! :)She was Sixteen so we should find out in this podcast sooner or later!! God, Now I know who was the Father and killer!! 
I still feel for Abby!!
Pretty sure Victor is both sperm donor and baby killer.
Now that would be telling.
I can’t wait for the next episode
I agree with everyone about Victor being the future a-hole that kills [Abbey]’s unborn. I think Daniel needs to just give up on Rebecca; She’s a baby factory now
Also, needs moar Morgan!
Webmaster’s Note: Edited to correct a name. Jenna was the succubus in “Troubled Minds”; Abbey was the one whose baby had been killed. –Chris
I love Morgan, too, Bloodworth! This story takes place three years before she was vamped, though.
Fortunately, I have some other story ideas involving Morgan, and some of those may show up in the feed as short stories when I have time to do them. I won’t interrupt the biweekly posting schedule for MAKING THE CUT, so any other stories you get will be released on the “off” weeks as bonus episodes.
Thanks for the feedback, everybody!
