Congradulations on the discovery of the PPB.

Great read as always. This story defines SEIV for me. Thank you very much for continuing it.

Ack! I'm falling behind in this story.

Rest assure, I will get it read. May end up having to do it here at work but I will get it read.

Actually, do you have the full Version of the story, Sachmo? If so could I ask that you be so kind to send it to me?

I would greatly appreciate it!

Atrocities- thank you very much! It's nice to be able to have time to write again.

Ragnarok- I'll update the Word Version soon and send it to you. It won't be tonight as the wife and I are stepping out, but soon!

Sachmo,

You really should look at submitting this to a publisher when it's done. For that matter maybe Shrapnel would publish it.

You are up over 80,000 words now. In paperback novel form you would be around 320 pages. Decent length already and you aren't even done yet. It's truely going to be an epic before it's finished.

The average page in a paperback book has about 400 to 500 words on it.

Lets say for arguement that each page requires about 500 words.

88,000 words divided by 500 = 176 pages. The average paper back is about 400 pages.

Sachmo you might have a series on your hands.

To bad the rest of us who write don't get together and update our stories. Think of it, 5 or so seperate stories dealing with SE IV in general for Shrapnel to peddle as Books. Ohhhh that would be sweet, that is being published.

The thing is the market for stories like this is a nitch one. But I would buy your book.

Thanks guys. I don't know what I'm going to do with this story, or even what I could do with it when it's done. Really I just like writing the story and hearing from those who are reading it. If Shrapnel wanted to do something with it, I wouldn't be opposed to that. But it would need some major rewriting if they wanted to use it to represent their product.
