Minor change to latest Firefly chapters and future plans · 5:20pm May 28th, 2020
As Silverblade5 pointed out, the duel between Gavian and Thunderbolt lasted considerably longer than five minutes. And though it's tempting to say that this simply happened on DBZ time, using their definition of five minutes (where it lasts eight episodes), I won't.
I recited the duel sections to myself with a timer running to figure out how long the fight lasted in real time, and came up with just short of ten minutes. So I've modified this last chapter and the one before it to state that. Instead of five minutes, Typhoon's technique now lasts for around ten minutes, and costs you ten days of pain. Poor Gavian.
All that said, this was a wildly successful and well-received chapter, for which I'm both relieved and grateful. My scheme to have this fight was honestly no less insane than Typhoon's, but I think I pulled it off in fine fashion. With no little help from my prereading friends. Thanks again, AJ_Aficionado and Denim_Blue!
As for going forward... I'll be leaving Firefly for likely a couple months to shift back over to Nightmare Night. In all honesty, I find I'm a bit burned out on Into the Storm after pushing six chapters in two and a half months, including two very difficult ones over the past couple weeks. But guest chapters are possible and perhaps even likely over that time, with AJA contributing more Highborne perspective and DB, the Changeling one.
Thanks for following the story yet again, and a warm welcome to new readers I've picked up during that time. Firefly will continue, but it's time to give my other active story series some attention.
