status of chapter 18: sent to edit (wish us luck)
pre-edit chapter word count: 7912 (due to decluttering, polishing and overall getting rid of excessive stuff - of which
solo will likely find a lot more that I missed)
status of chapter 19: planned, partially structured, partially written
current word count: 2675 (which includes a lot of stuff to be revised due to changes in 18; so basically: business as usual)
status of chapter 20 (a.k.a the epilogue): see chapter 19
current word count: 1252 (ditto)
status of the sequel: a high pile of things to be told that are not in a tellable order yet
status of side-story "Mariko": structured, partially written
current word count: 2110
chance of it being completed in the foreseeable future: very high (because I love writing teenager!Seishiro & just-post-eye!Seishiro, and the story has both! Besides, after chapter 19 there'll be just enough questions to be answered with it. *eg*)
quote of the day: "Roaches'R'Us."

But then my heart sank a bit too... because I look forward to these updates and to know they'll soon be long gone. Wah... but did I see sequel?! I thought this one was a sequel.

Deca = ten, so even if I count the smaller side stories (like Mariko (to come) or "Carneval", "Taking Care Of" and "Nothing") there are still enough of spots to fill. :)
Points to the icon: they won't be let off *that* easy. *Eg*
