Well... we consider ourselves priveleged then :) The longer the better even if it means waiting a little bit in between chapters!

For me as a science & math geek it basically means that FM is going to be at least twice the size of 36°. And now I wonder if it's a line like:
1-2-3-4-...
or
1-2-4-8-...
or
1-2-4-16-...
or something binomical, exponential, hyperbolic, transient, or if we end up in the irregular spheres altogether (given those two, the latter is definitely a possibility *g*)

My head hurts thinking about it, but definitely agree with the whole "(given those two, the latter is definitely a possibility...)" statement :) Glad it's going so well though!

Considering that there are at least 3-5 more chapters and at least 1 IR and an Epilogue (if I don't have to expand the number of chapters to get the plot concluded soundly), it's actually likely that FM will be more than twice the size of 36°.
