#7 again, again, again

Good news, bad news, and its the same news.

Chapter seven just passed 30,5 K words, and it's still not done.

However, there is a good point in the middle (ish) I should be able to cut at and still have a quite decent 'wham' moment, so I should be able to wrangle a more 'standard' (for the rest of the story anyway) pair of chapters out of it.

So I'm abandoning having an ETA for now, but once the 'first' chapter drops the next one shouldn't take very long at all.

Again, I'm going to cut it down to two slightly more manageable 15-20 K chapters. Like the rest of DH.

Still, glad to hear you're excited.

3282894 I don't want to be rude, but does that mean that the first cut of the chapter will arrive soon?

Holy shit! Glad you are splitting it, if only to make giving feedback easier.

Nooooooo! not the ETA! Now how will we know what day to have our hopes and dreams crushed and pester you for a new day to look forward to!

3282894 a friend got me hooked on the series, enough so to end up playing the rpg series its based on every week with friends. Gotta love it when your part is a Faith based knight marine sniper, an ace driver geomancer, half-winter svarter elf spook, a simple kineticist that makes mister T look puny, and a pure mortal thats got some very high reaching supernatural contacts. Its already been poked at a CSI:DF with the odd way of where everyone has started from.

Hopefully, but I don't want to say more than that since my last few estimates have been so off.

Yeah...

I'm a big reader, and even for me beyond 30+ reading/editing a chapter becomes something of a project.

OK, that sounds awesome.

3282920 I was actually thinking about getting into that, but I couldn't find any starter kits outside of the website, so, yeah.

decent 'wham' moment

I misread that at first glance and now I'm kind of wondering what you'd do to make a "decent wlam moment."
