All right, I'm going to settle the score once and for all.

   People have been nagging me left and right about when I'll release
chapter 8, so here are the facts:

- Right now, I'm finishing an important rewrite of chapters 1-7 (immense
thanks to Chris Rijk and Terence Fergusson).  I modified countless little
things, such as:

-Verika and Kanma's past has been altered
-I switched the spelling of Ki with Chi
-I switched the spelling of henshin stick with henshin rod
-I added a scene at the end of the wedding
-I completely rewrote the battle at the train station
-I modified some of the the dialogue in the Ranko/Happosai battle
-I eradicated Chibi-Usafrom the storyline!
-The family names now come after the first name
-The transformation phrases were corrected according to the new timeline
-I corrected (or tried to correct) grammatical errors everywhere.
-General formatting errors

- Before you start screaming that I haven't done anything yet, I've also
written about 48 Kb of chapter 8 so far, and I'm not exactly close to
finishing.

   And last, but most definitely *not* least,

- For the last *three weeks*, I have been going to the university full-time
*AND* I have been juggling a 25-hour/week job.  AS A RESULT, I have had
*very* little time to write.  My schedule should become a bit less
congested as of next week, but I'm not sure.  I'm having a very hard time
juggling job and school as it is, so please stop bugging me about when I'll
post the next part!

   I swear that as soon as it's presentable, I'll send it!

   Thank you for your understanding...
