Although not relevant to this particular fic (as none of it appears ever 
to have been posted to RAAC), this is becoming a common and extremely 
frustrating problem, which has grown considerably over the past few years: 
i.e., the number of fics that have been finished, but only bits of which 
were ever posted to RAAC.  Four examples come immediately to mind: 
_Demiurge_, _Relentless_, _The Saotome Gambit_ and _Ill Met by Starlight_, 
all of which are long finished, but none of which exist in the RAAC 
archive as completed.  Of course, these are all still available in their 
completed forms from their original WWW sites, but as has happened in the 
_Flesh_ instance, websites come and go, but RAAC is a simple, text-based 
repository simple to archive/mirror, and very likely to be around in some 
form for a *very* long time.

So, this is a simple request to all those who have finished fics over the 
years, but who never completed posting them to RAAC: if at all possible, 
do so before they're lost.
