    All things must come to an end,

    All things must come to an end, and that time is near. H'ven Sent is almost at its intended conclusion. The final chapter has been written, and now needs checking over and tweaking.

    Off the rails.

    Life has been a bit awkward of late, including multiple trips to doctors, dentists, catscans, an ambulance trip due to chest pains (fortunately NOT my heart), so the latest chapter has been a real struggle to get out.

    Break out the bubbly

    Break out the bubbly (not that I drink). I have half a chapter written. Boy, was this chapter a tough nut to crack. Difficult decisions. How to get it to hold together. Most importantly, going back to the root of the idea - what started this adventure. Originally, I expected this would be about chapter two...

Chapter 25 retracted. Whoever gave it the thumbs down can take it back too.

What exactly happened? im still sitting with chapter 25 in browser. Sorry that things escalated enough to yank it.

Unfortunately I lost all the comments that went with it when I pulled the plug, but not a single one of the readers that left a comment liked it. As the chapter sort of took on a life of its own and I wasn't entirely happy with it myself, yanking it seemed to be the logical thing to do.

2278594 Chapter 25 had a short life. No one liked it.

I personally liked it so that is a shame, though allowing more time for the relationship between Cacha and Aneki to grow would be a good thing as they have known each other for only a few hours, which is way too soon to be doing anything major

It takes a bit of bravery to retract an unpopular chapter after you've posted it, and also to admit that criticism of the chapter may be valid. Best of luck to you with the new chapter, I really have enjoyed the story so far (minus this misstep) and look forward to seeing where it goes. Hope the retread gets it flowing again.

2278787 Thanks for that. It's nice to know I didn't totally miss the mark. I'll try to keep the charm of the chapter, but get rid of the downsides.

2279081 Coolies, while I like the Aneki/Cacha pairing things need to go much slower between them, they need to actually get to know each other before major stuff happens between them.

What is funny, is that one of the stories that has inspired me pulled almost exactly the same stunt in today's chapter!

:flutterrage: C'mere and let me hug you!

Yeah, don't know where that ^^^ come from but, I am glad the criticism hasn't gotten you down too much. And don't worry, there were no thumbs down from me.
