Galaxy Rangers Edits - Mission Report 44

[akk]

CS5 saw some rather drastic edits over the last two days, namely the Eliza thread got severely cut back, resulting CS5 currently being 13 pages (down from 17) of continuous text. However, it puts the Eliza thread at the same level as the military thread, allowing for a better balance in story telling.
As a plus: since now I have to go over the whole chapter with a very fine "continuity comb" anyway, I can make better use of Eliza's unique perspective as a true outsider to the Rangers and their abilities. After all, she was frozen before their unit was even established!

"As if they'd freeze a Galaxy Ranger!"
"They've got no such qualms when it comes to a supertrooper, Lady."
A supertrooper? Eliza froze. She remembered the broadcasts about the disastrous military project before they left for Kirwin. But those-- "Let me guess," she asked sardonically, "you were the baby-face?"

Hi! Sorry if this is the wrong place but I'm on my phone and I couldn't find where else to post this. I was wondering if you're still going to post 'buisiness as usual' sometime in the future.

Hi effie_chan,
yes, I'm still going to post Business As Usual. The first part is currently with my editor.

However, for both of us Autumn is the busiest time of the year (no clue why) and yes, my GR project still isn't finished (I'm working on its last chapter now, though), so I don't want to give a "release date". I've got enough looming deadlines of doom in my work life, I don't want those in my fun. :)

Oh that's great! I kind of wasn't expecting it to still be in the works so this is a super pleasant surprise. But yeah no stress. Just as long as it's going to get posted eventually I'm not going to rush you. :D

If you followed the Dekagram while "Family Matters" was being written, you'd know that writing chapters takes increasing number of eons in my case. Mostly, because the Dekagram gets more complicated with every added chapter.

But, yes, it is still ongoing. I've got the first set of corrections back, now I have to squeeze in the time to work through them. I tried very hard for this weekend, but alas, no such luck. Real life [tm] took over. Next attempt: next week.
