Once again, real life rears it's ugly head and threatens to find ways to make me abandon this story. . . But I overcame. Chapter 7 is up and complete. No cliffhangers this time. Aren't you proud? Because of things that are developing in my life, however, I may end up having even LESS time to work on this. However, as long as I have proper encouragement, that shouldn't be too much of an issue. ^-^ Thanks for the continued support, and I hope I don't let you all down.

Ok, finally made sure to fix that annoying problem with the pronunciation schwa's that FF.net apparently doesn't copy over correctly. Now, fiance actually has an e, instead of a wierd curly shape. Have started work on next chapter. Got most of it outlined, and plan to start actually typing it sometime tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for your continued support!

Posted up the lastest addition, Chapter 6. May have fought the total length of this section back down to two chapters again, but only time will tell. Some of you may be wondering why I'm keeping a running update as the last chapter of the story, instead of posting them as footnotes. Simple. As I have recently learned while making some typographical corrections to my story, it's just easier to keep the chapters full of the story itself, from an editing point of view. Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy. . . and PLEASE, keep the constructive critisism flowing.
PS - if anyone is willing to help, in any way, shape or form on this story, please do NOT hesitate to contact me. My connections within the fan fiction community are few and far between, and anything, from creative input to someone willing to help me revise my writing style will be a great help.
Thanks,

Just a brief update on my progress. . . the creative process has reared its vile head and is now laughing its ass off at my attempt to squeeze what I though to be a simple part of the story into one chapter. . . last week, my estimate turned into two chapters. . . Now, I'm staring down the barrel of three chapters that have suddenly scripted themselves, and am quite frankly freaked out. I have three possible routes I can take. . .
1)Write them as they have scripted themselves out, sticking to my pattern of 16-17 pages per chapter.
2)give up my 16 -17 pages per chapter, make it one long chapter, therefore making you all wait longer.
3)Or just compress it all down, robbing from the story, and taking the 'easy way out' approach.
It seems to me that I don't have much of a choice, so I just ask for your patience and post each part as they get finished, hoping I can pick proper spots to break it up. I honestly have no idea how much more of a story this will turn out to be, but the way it's evolving. . .
My original idea was meant to only take 10 chapters at the most. Guess that was foolish thinking. lol!! Anyway, Just wanted to let you know where I'm at, and what's going on.

Also, I'm keeping up the link to a picture which a friend drew for me while I was creating Jhonus. Take a look.

Hopefully it'll help you understand when I describe his armored form. Let me know what you think, because that friend is a major ego fiend. And most importanly, if you would like to do your own rendition of this picture, by all means, do. Just please keep in mind that both myself and Jason Drake (the artist) will be very upset if someone tries to claim this as their own.
