FM-PMS (state of the edit)

Just a short heads-up.

For the last two days, I've been working on finding a solution for the last 9 words (or 1 sentence, if you want to have it in plain fatalistic cruelty) in Family Matters that don't do what they're supposed to do, yet.
An idea about how to solve it manifested itself this morning. If my beta gets back to me on time (and it really works), Family Matters (final) may still see the web today, otherwise next try next week(end).

In the meantime (and if you are curious about what I write when I'm not in "fan mode"), feel free to stalk me on G+. At least The (unauthorized) biography of a laserphoton is suitable for all ages (and education classes). :)

Editing Outtake (sort of)

In case you wonder how the last two + years of editing Family Matters felt (most of the time), here's an outtake from the editing process (written in a fit about a certain scene in the reworked chapter 20):

"What's that between you and Su-chan right now?" Seishiro asked, narrowed eyes following Takamura.
"That's not your concern," Subaru said.
"I beg to differ." Was there a growl in his voice? Surely not!
[...]
No!" Subaru snapped. "Forget it! If you actually have to compare sizes, I won't have a part of it!"
"And what sizes do you think we compare?" Seishiro asked, all fake innocence.
"I'd be interested in that one as well," Imonoyama joined them.
"Your egos, of course!" Subaru left them where they were, heading back to the house, a quiet room, a stiff drink, a double dose Valium-- No, he wouldn't go there, either.
