Last night I gave cesmith two teasers. In all fairness, since people here have also asked, here they are. This second teaser is a paragraph that is giving me problems. Cesmith told me it was fine of course -.- Which brings me to a question I'm debating and I know we discussed it under ask a silly question, but I'm still undecided. The fic is five parts long. The first part is currently in editing and is over 5500 words. I'm probably going to add another 1000 words today when I edit scene 2 and 3. Do you think I should chop it into chapters and polish the chapters and put them out as they are ready, or do you think I should just polish the whole part and put it out as one big lump? So much for this being a short one-shot *sweat drop*

It still sounds good to me. Chapters vs lump. I vote for the chapters. It gives you a chance for more feedback from the readers and gives them more time to really enjoy and anticipate the story.

Hey all!! Here's the scoop on hindsight. I've put an updated version of chapter 1 up. Nothing Major, a few puntation and typo errors fixed plus an odd stylistic change here and there. Thanks very much to both Blood_Debt and Murasaki for looking it over. On chapter 2, I have all but 2 betas back. I know I'm getting one of those back later today still don't know the status of the other. If I get those in next couple of days and nothing major shows up in them expect chapter 2 this weekend. *crosses fingers* In meanwhile, I've been editing chapter 3. Would ya'll prefer a teaser from chapter 2 or chapter 3 ^^

Sorry, I know I'm the last beta. I've been away, but I'm working on it right now. Hard to find anything wrong, though .

Don't worry about it *huggles* my other outstanding beta got a ton of work dumped onher last minute. So, I'm not even going to try to have chapter 2 ready for Xmas. Like I said no pressure. At least from me. ^^ I'm working on editing chapter 3 (when I have free time)which looks like it will need some serious revamping to fix some problems. Realizing that Asuka is out of character for half the chapter does help. *face plants* however, the edited parts are much improved. As for finding problems, I'll take it as a complament that your having trouble ^^. Before you saw chapter 2 it had already been edited by me three times and betaed twice by OptiMoose. Yes, I love the editing process. ^^ Polishing a story is such fun. I have to set a rule not to touch something once it grts to a certain point or I'd be tinkering with it forever.

Hey, I think it's a great story. And I absolutely love the way you insert emotions in the character. Hajime and his wife are very authentic and believable. I'm looking forward for the final version.
