> If you have a real itch to write the next part, or if its already written, by all means post it. But if not, I wouldn't mind stretching this plot out a bit since 1) the Earth without the Lair Legion story is should last a while, B) it gives those of us with half-formed ideas some more time to flesh them out, and third: I wouldn't mind seeing some of your other dangling plotlines (Tom Black in Egypt, the Juniors on Caph) wrapped up first.

I'd intended to finish the Tom story last weekend but the Vinnie tale wanted to be told more urgently.

As for the rest of this round robin, I'm arrogantly taking a different approach to usual. I've planned out quite an ambitious (and somewhat lengthy) storyline of the kind I usually reserve for Untold Tales, of which we're not entering into the middle phase; or middle phases, given it's really two seperate sets of events, one the consequence of the other.

My expectation is to try and do one summary/"core" chapter a week. The next one will be set entirely off-Earth just as the last one was entirely on-Earth. I'm thinking the next one might bring most of our scattered cast together and define the immediate problems facing the Legion, but it'll still leave a few folks scattered out there facing specific situations.

Then the episode after that might turn out to be an all-Earth episode again, or it might be a mix; it depends on how it writes. In any case, by three chapters from mow (three weeks) I want to be in a position to resolve this set of problems and progress on to the final arc, wherein our heroes tackle the problem of the Void Scholar's benevolence.

On a specific point, do you have any plans to show what Glory is doing? if not I'd want to cover that in the next chapter I do.



Then I'll use the same rule I did last week for the story parts I've been playing with (Liu Xi, Lara, Chiaki, Yuki, and Anna). If you don't get to it first I'll see what I can do when I get back.
