Mark won't see this, of course; he killfiled me over irreconcilable 
differences. But maybe someone can pass it on to him?

The only sure way to avoid speculation, accusations, and 
counter-accusations over ongoing events is not to post any of the fic 
until it's all finished.

If your readers really love you, they'll wait.

(Still waiting on Hearts of Ice. Still waiting on On A Clear Day You Can 
See Forever. Still waiting on Eric Hallstrom and Kenko. Not the bad kind 
of stalker-on-the-doorstep calling-in-the-night waiting, just the 
patient, anxious kind.)

When you post chapters this long, which have a beginning, middle, and 
end in their own right, my own experience casts the chapter as a 
complete work in some sense - one with headers and trailers leading to 
the other ones in the series, true, but weighted down with its own 
concerns. It does not view the entire story-to-this-point and the 
story-yet-to-be as some huge unbroken arc that I cannot feel anything 
about yet because it hasn't stopped. It _has_ stopped, for the time being.

This is my psyche. Yours, of course, may vary, but I doubt that everyone 
reading this sees only an incomplete big picture, as opposed to an 
incomplete hall of little pictures.

(Also, though Mark knows this already and you don't have to forward it, 
I believe the crossover should really be marked Ranma/Sailor 
Moon/Reality, and it's the many snarly bits in that third series that 
have ruined the whole pile for me.)
