Just to torment people. If you haven't, check out the byte count on chapter 7 up above.
I am writing the last scene before the epilogues right now. As things are finished, they go to Chris for second pass/approval. If all goes well, the entire draft chapter should be done by the end of the week. Which means it'll time for prereader fun.
Just to let you know...

You sir, are a horrible, horrible tease.
Thanks for the update!
I have been watching it steadily go up for the past couple of weeks. It's nice to see you getting back to it again after so long.
Looks like it's time to re-read DW-V again.
Not that I'm complaining.

I've completed the first draft. No promises yet how fast it goes through Chris, second draft, preread, and post-preread edit. But on a very fundamental level it is done.

As the status note at the top of the forum pages says, the chapter is now in preread.

And just as one of my favourite fics winds up for an update... the manga actually takes a plot twist that is disturbingly interesting. I might even have to pick it up again.

Chapter is still with the prereaders. If I hear nothing more by Thursday, I'll start making preparations to post it on the website on Friday and send it to the usual outlets on Saturday.
