Gomen nasai, minna (sorry, everyone)…I can't update tonight; it's a dead-Kaminari day (if you don't read the MegaTokyo web comic, it's a take on the artist's (Piro's) dead-Piro days; it's basically where the ability to draw completely abandons him, except in my case I have no ability to draw, so the ability to write abandons me) on the grounds of sleep deprivation/lateness…
I'm really sorry that I'm leaving you all hanging like this, lol; to make up for it, if any of you wants a spoiler/summary of the next chapter, email me at Azevedojsh@aol.com (preferably with a subject line of something like "Story Spoiler" or something so I don't mistake it for spam and delete it). Well, sorry again…but here's some review responses to try and make up for it (keh, like that'll happen…heh)
LadyWyrsa: Yeah, I can imagine Naraku having to take Pepcid AC or Alka-Seltzer to get rid of the heartburn Sesshoumaru's giving him…lol. In response to what Rin/Jaken are doing, Jaken's taking care of Rin and they're still trying to find Sesshoumaru; they don't know what's happened to him yet: it's only been a day. I'll figure out how to work something in, it'll probably be in the next chapter…
BurningBritelyOne: Ah, I see what you're saying…small flaw in that, too, because the Tenseiga has to be swung to revive the demons; but it could theoretically release the power to kill him on Sesshoumaru's subconscious demand, but blah…it wouldn't work in my story, and who's to say the sword stayed inside Naraku? ^_-
Sangami: I think it would be possible in the real story, but it probably wouldn't be done for one reason: it's public TV, and although what can and can't be shown on public TV is different in Japan than it is here, I still think that sexual intercourse in a cartoon is crossing the line over there, too. It's not likely to happen, true; but I envision it as a burst of passion and them getting caught up in the moment.
Silverstarlight: Actually, the lemon may suck, if you catch my meaning ^_-. Lol, I'm just goofing around…(perverted side coming into play…heh).
Lindy*girl: I wasn't planning it to be any length; I just wanted it to be as long as possible, but I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to get past 25,000 words or so (at max)…heh, guess I've proven myself wrong on that one ^_^.
Nightrain: Yeah, I tend to update every day…what I do is bookmark the latest chapter in a fic I'm following, then delete the previous bookmark; that way I know if it's been updated and I can just click the forward button to read the next few chapters.
Youkai Chick Supreme: Yes, baka na ningen…the sad part is, there are people like that in the world (as you all know), and that's just one of the many reasons why I have no faith in humanity whatsoever…on a lighter note, who said the murderer was a member of the village? ^_^.
And yes, you have helped me reach my goals, and you're still furthering them; like I said, I never expected to get past 25,000 words and 50 reviews on this; I've got almost twice as many words and seven times as many reviews, all thanks to you and all my other readers, and I'm very grateful for that ^_^.
Kyron: Yes, I did mention that; unfortunately, I can't/won't post those for two reasons: first off, they're mostly one-shot ideas I had running around in my head with little to no back story, and second off some of those ideas bleed through to my other fic ideas (such as the original fiction I'm gonna be writing soon, it'll be called "Dreams of a Child"; if you want any more information, feel free to email me/IM me at Azevedojsh/@aol.com, I may or may not post it on fictionpress.net, probably not); the second reason is they were all lost when I switched computers…forgot to archive them ^_^0.
Well, that's all for tonight…like I said, I'm very very sorry about leaving you all hanging on the cliffhanger…it was my first intentional one in a while (I wanted information on whether or not I should do a lemon, and a cliffhanger normally turns out more reviews than a non-cliffhanger, so sorry…), but I didn't mean to have you guys hanging for two days (at least you don't have to wait a week like some other authors; ((I don't mean anyone in particular!)), you just have to wait one more day ^_^.
Oh yeah, here's the "poll" results on whether or not I should do a sex chapter:
Yes: 10
No: 3
Neutral: 3
I'm going to let this run for two more chapters, and at the end of that I'll make my final call on whether or not I'm going to make a lemon chapter…if you want it, speak up! If not, speak up: your votes can make a difference ^_^.
