I assume you'll start posting once 18/18 Chapters are complete.

Yes. At the moment I'm doing about 1.5 chapters a day. Once it's written I need to get it proofread and finalized, and then I can post it. I'd say anywhere from next week to the end of the month, depending on how much I get done over the weekend.

The fan fiction is finished. I got distracted with my novel for a little while there, but I powered through the last third of the fan fiction in these last two days, and now I'm finally done.

I want to go back through it and fix it up, but I'm guessing that shouldn't take too long (~ a week or so). After that, Bigga has agreed once again to proofread it, and then it's off to posting!

You're a fast writer. That's a lot of chapters. How long is this particular story?

36.5K words or so. Not particularly long. There are several short chapters in there; I just stopped where it fit. This was my experiment on writing with twists, so we'll see how it goes.

And the editing is DONE! I'll be spellchecking and sending it off to Bigga tonight!

How long do you think it'll be before you start uploading chapters? Also didja ever come up with a title for it? Where's the teaser trailer?

~TAF, stoked

I finished it and decided I had better name it, so after some thought I came up with: A Chance of Success.

It usually takes Bigga a few days to proofread, so I'd imagine I can start uploading around this weekend, Saturday or Sunday, depending how long Bigga takes, and how long it takes to implement any changes due to his proofreading.

~TGRF.

[TGRF]

Tomorrow. Submitting it tomorrow. I realized a few characters had miraculously healed of their injuries and ran out of time to fix it.

~TGRF.

[TGRF]

It is away! Now we wait for Bigga.

~TGRF.

[TGRF]

UPDATE: One problem found - might take some work to resolve...
UPDATE: Remedies identified, now I just have to implement them... there's one big one which will be difficult to work out, but it shouldn't take too long...
UPDATE: This could be it... dealing with the final - and largest - problem, and I think I've found a way to fix it...
UPDATE: Waiting on a reply from the admins about a possible way to post...

Proofreading complete...

@TheAverageFan @William099

I found in my files an unfinished tale about Vervalsing, told from the PoV of his Icarians. It's only 2.1 chapters long, and the chapters are short, but I was wondering if you would be interested in seeing it. There's no ending, just like the 4114 snippet I posted.
