1) When will your next update be?

AS OF JANUARY 22 >> My next update might be ... in a year and not in six months as originally planned. This is because of my recent harddrive crash which wiped out all of the finished chapters of Rend complete with FOOTNOTES and research that was done for the series. Therefore, to re-create the chapters, I will have to research everything again or get my harddrive back. My harddrive data recovery was priced at - USD 500. I earn USD 4 a day and use USD 1 for my meals. That means I have to go into 27 and a half weeks of starvation to earn that much money.

If you want details of the crash (why would you?) or want to see me rant off, or hear updates of the fic while I'm writing it, I have a livejournal account under the name iceofdreams Just look it up and look at the memories for rend. Everything is there, the Ryu Kumon arc, the mountain we climbed on, and the rant about my harddrive crashing including frequent updates of Rens status. However, there are frequent updates about my life too. (It is a livejournal for a reason) if you have an LJ and want to friend me, go right on ahead.

-

In six months probably. I'm a medical student. Unlike back when chapters 1-8 were written, I have less time to myself. (That and I've acquired the nasty nasty habit of surfing for scanlations when I have free time).

I do revise backlog chapters in the middle of the next update though. If you've noticed I've revised Prologue - 7 extensively since my last update. In fact chapter 6-7 was uploaded at the same time as this (newly revised!) . There are fewer grammatical errors, some length is sometimes added and some such. Rian's birthing scene was changed, some scenes were added in chapter 7 and if I'm not mistaken chapter 4 as well.

3) Will the story end / will you finish even if your harddrive crashed?

Yes. Definitely. I hate seeing stories that never end. Especially if I'm soo hooked on it. So yes this will end. Will it end in chapter 13. Definitely not. Will it end in chapter 18? Not yet. Maybe around 18 or 19. DO NOT give up on the fic. :)

Even if my harddrive crashed, I will finish rend, Rend has been my life's work, and it will finish no matter what.

4) Do you want me to write to you?

Yes, please. Anything is fine. Even the little notes on what you think may happen is great. Even the notes on what you want to happen is fine. Hehe, I discuss some events when this happens. I've even answered questions like: What do you think Akane uses as shampoo back then... yes and I do try to research my answers here.
