Okay guys, I just want to kick my feet up and have a moment of your time about this story.
I'm really having a blast with it and can't stop typing, I wanted to keep the chapter bite size at 1K-1.5K seeing how my last story looks like a bunch of word vomit. I keep rereading the story from start to finish and been able to catch a lot of errors.
Each chapter I try and give you a lot of good stuff and move the story along to the next part. I would like to think that there isn't much filler seeing how each chapter had a significant impact and sometimes hitting you in the feels.
With that, I hope you guys are starting to catch some of my favorite animes and catchphrase. There's a bunch more stuff out there and I wish you guys would call it out, but here's a few off the top of my head.
Super Troopers: Bull shit on the wall, Shenanigans.
Miia from Everyday Life with Monster Girls: Everything about her is from the show and yes, she drools and says darling, a lot.
Asuka from Evangelion: Well I used most of her like the anger and her red hair.
I'm the kind of writer that likes to close up any loops I left along the way, sometimes it planned, but most of it just work itself out.
Some that just worked out:
Marco and Asuka patching each other up: I thought it was weird on why I had her sewing his eyebrow, if they fight like cat and dogs then why the hell would she be the one to fix him up when he's hurt? So I had to fix this somehow and came back around saying it was his order. This one was more 50/50 on planned and not planned, but I couldn't just leave that open like that.
The scare over Marco's heart: I just said that because I thought it would be cool, but then in the next chapter we see how it's made. I was tripping pretty hard on that one and it set the tone on them going at it with each other.
Solid Reaper: Okay I did this just to use my new name for shits and giggles but again it worked itself out when we got to dive into his war life. Now I did have a plan on explaining what the name mean and I think it came out really great.

I've gone back and changed a few thing about his name, Solid Reaper just started to seem silly to me.
Reaper is what everyone just called him and it really stuck, that's why I had Henry say that he didn't thing Solid Reaper would stick.
The General / Henry: That was just some mind blowing shit that I couldn't believe worked out. I never planned on giving him much of a back story, but it really clicked when I made the flashback on how Marco got mixed up in this war.
Stuff I planned:
Rock, Paper, Scissors guy: Come on, they're awesome.
Marco out the window: No really, what the fuck is the deal with people kicking or punching him out the window?
First date picture: There's really one out there, google it and it looks like they're in a photo booth together. One of the pictures even has written on it, "Year 8. Never forget when I taught you how to DATE!" So when that picture comes up, now you can get your eyes on it.
Now, this whole war part is all thanks to ADdude, same with the hole ending of chapter 22 everyone is getting a kick out of. That whole dialog came from him with me putting a very tiny bit of my twist in it. I was really worried about this story ending just as it was really starting to picks up. We started to kick around an idea and BAM! I'm having way too much fun now.
The reason my chapters are on rabbit fire is because I can't put it down… no, really I can't.
The O.C.D. and T.B.I. makes this the only thing I can really think about lol. There some stories that I love right now like SketchTonic's The Hottest Day, but her updates are killing me and I've been up his ass with PM's.

I really fell behind on updating this story like I wanted too. Lack of reviews really made me think I was wasting my time with this story. I'm back on it because I want to be proud of it and make it one of the best ones out there for you guys!
I hate when I love a story, but the update are so far apart that I have to reread the whole story to remember what's going on. So I want this story to be fresh in your minds every time you read it. That and I get a kick seeing my story always on top, plus your reviews are what make me get to work.
Now here comes some bad news, I'm going to Korea very VERY soon and don't know what will be my internet status. Yea it's not like my other deployments but I still don't know what I'm walking into.

29 more day and a wake up, then I'm back on my way to the states!
I'll be writing my ass off, so if you guys get like a 10 chapter shotgun blast... just deal. Thank you for taking you time to read this and be sure to leave a comment!
