Hi... I figure some people might actually be expecting Chapter 10 today, as
I said it would be ready in 'a couple of weeks or so.'  Well, it's not
finished.  It's close, but not quite done.  So, I decided to send out this
status report again.

Oh, and to the people who I preread for (especially to Lord Archive, who I
think I've got about a half dozen things to preread), I haven't been able
to revise anything recently, but yes, I still am alive out here, and I will
get revisions out to you as soon as I can (assuming you haven't released
the chapter I need to revise).

Anyway, below is a report of my progress...

Chapters:

10- 90% complete, will probably be sent out some time this week unless 
something happens.

I plan to take a break on RotS between chapters 10 and 11 (see below)

11- 75% complete.  Unchanged since I talked about it in chapter 8.

12- 75% complete.  I'm having a REAL hard time with the end of this
chapter- it'll hang here for a while.

13- Undefined size.  I could call it complete now, but I want to work on it
some more, add some more scenes.

14- requires significant revisions, but otherwise complete

Epilog- same as 14.

Now, on to that little note about taking the break after chapter 10.  I
want to work on something else for a while, so I plan to do a couple of
shorter fics- one of which will be my first non-Ranma fanfic (an Oh, My
Goddess fic, which I can write solely because I purchased a copy of a
number of that series' tapes at Katsucon) which may inspire me to write
some sequels AFTER completing Return of the Sisters, while the other other
will be a somewhat sad lemon which one person who has heard about it has
said will get the Akane-as-the-True-Fiancee people (which I count myself as
one of, but I have to write what I'm inspired to write) even though it is
entirely a Ranma\Akane fic.  Then I'll write a side story to Return of the
Sisters, which may have a lemon scene, about the conception of Natsume's
baby.  I won't give any more details than that, however.  Again, I'm hoping
to release something every other week, so after Chapter 10 gets out it'll
be 6-8 weeks before chapter 11 is released.  This is only an estimate,
though- if I finish Return of the Sisters during that 6 to 8 weeks, I'll
release the last 4 chapters rather quickly, so keep an eye out.

Anything else I might have mentioned to people has been sit aside for the
moment, so thats all for today.

Until Chapter 10...
