Yup, I'm finally back from winter break. Sorry to keep everyone
waiting. But anyway, as it turned out the student accounts weren't
erased until this Thursday, so I was able to pick up on those 1000+ mail
messages my poor account kept receiving.

   My sympathies...  :)

	I'm writing to all of you because I finally made the last revision on
The Caller's Plight, and I'm going to e-mail it to raac as soon as I can
(my news server hasn't picked raac up yet.) However, and that's why I'm
sending this message, I can mail it to you and the FFML simultaneously.

  Oh dear...  You might want to leave the updated version on Skywise's page
as well.  It might be easier to pick up every part that way.

To my prereaders, Louis-Phillippe and Patrick: I'm still working on
Lightbirds, but I got kind of a writer's block on ALL my Ranma stories
and I could only work on my Rayearth 'fic. However, I'll send you the

   No problem. Getting you to finish TCP in the first place was my once my
driving goal (how many times did I have to kick you in the butt -
figuratively speaking - to finish that monster?)  Now, it's surviving
University, a 25-hour/week job and getting out the fourth chapter of Lines
Of Destiny.  Hell, I started LoD as a story to relieve my writer's block!
(Didn't know it'd be such a success, though...)

updated version tomorrow including a description of the changes I made
to TCP's plot (there's quite a few...) BTW, Louis-Phillippe, I started
reading your "Lines of Destiny" fanfic. I'll send some C&C as soon as I
read all of the chapters I received.

   Thank youze!  I'll be posting revisions tonight!

To the FFML: I'll be posting a slew of first-chapter teasers this week,
to see what you think. But in the meantime, (and because I _COULDN'T
find most of the authors' e-mail address,) I am in search of a kind soul
who could send me the following:

Halftime, parts 13-through-latest (by Aaron Ziegler)

   Parts 13-20 have been sent.

Clothes make the... (Nicholas Leifker)

   Done.  I didn't have the other two fanfics, though...

Anyway, thanks to everyone for being patient. I'll post the first
chapter of my MKR 'fic, "Shards of Peace" tomorrow morning. See ya!

   Haven't seen a lot of those around...

(And I have a new nick, too...)

The Zephyr
(just call me Zef.)

   Glad to have you back, Zef!
