I finally got "Star of Jurai" finished.  Seeing as how I planned to 
finish it before the new year, it's not too far behind schedule.

I revamped the first part.  I made some changes based on personal 
taste, as well as on suggestions made by people on this list.  I also 
moved the breaking point between the two parts farther down the 
storyline.  This was to address the valid complaint that nothing but 
set-up occurred in the first part, as well as to even out the lengths 
of the two parts.  I also got rid of most of the onomatopoetic sound 
effects, as they were getting kind of silly.

I'll be posting the two parts shortly.  Comments are appreciated.  I'll 
be sending it off to r.a.a.s as soon as I'm content that I've heard all 
the comments I'm going to hear.

I want to stick it on the remailer as well, but dang it, I've lost the 
address!  I swear, my mind is like a sieve...
