Omiheavens... seriously?!!!! Clapping hands. Ecstatic. And look at everyone showing up in it. Too exciting.

erm... the characters listed are for IR-5, which still has zero (0) words. :)

but first comments by solo____ indicate that there are no irreconcilable differences in 14. So things look hopeful.

Okay... seriously, I must be destined to sound like a doofus in my comments in regards to your entries. You most certainly can read my above comment like you read it. Now looking back, I have mixed enthusiastic replies without any dilineation between what part of your entry I'm enthusiastically praising. All of it actually. But the real part that had me going yeah... wahoo... was the appearance of Ameru. Just to clarify. Although, I'm ecstatic that you are getting the next chapter out soon too :) But I have been anxiously waiting for any info or potential appearances of Ameru for awhile since he first appeared. Smiles. In hopes that I don't sound too freakishly annoying on top of sounding like an utter moron.

Well, I also have a tendency to take English slang at "face value", so I end up missing some of the meaning sometimes; frankly, I wasn't sure about your reply. Enthusiasm is fine, just remember that you have to explain it sometimes to non-native speakers. :)

I don't know yet how big Ameru's part will be - or if it even has to be postponed to a later chapter. The overall structure of the final part is now fix, but single components are still very much in flux with respect to each other.

About posting soon: I try to post chapter 14 this week, because I'll probably be a few days offline starting Friday and I don't want to have a written chapter gathering dust on my harddrive. So IR-5 might even be delayed with respect to 14. I just don't know whether it's only one or two days or even a week. We'll see, I guess.
