Chapter 20: April to June
Final chapter and therefore has no summary. :) Rendezvous with Fate 1998-2007 :) Finished. Editing for FFML, and then off to RAAC. Still editing some of the chapters for mediaminer. Will be updating my webpage hopefully before classes start (which is next week... and I'm going to medical internship this coming april, so I really need to do it soon or goodbye webpage until two years)

Epilogue 1 

Epilogue 2 will take a while, but then it's almost a stand alone.  It's 30% complete. 

As it is, though, Rend is finished.

Thank you to Ellen Kuhfeld, Dream & JM for everything. Especially my dedicated readers and reviewers. (I mean 9 years is a long time to wait for something to finish) Comments and Criticism welcome.

Next story is being worked on. The inu yasha one is ... hohum in the design phase, but the next ranma fanfic is already in chapter 6. It will be shorter, more contemporary because I want to leave all technical first while I'm going into internship before I return to research heavy medieval Japan (yes, I have another story for RxA in that setting plotted out in my head). Haha, wait and see.

( Major Questions people have been asking about Rendezvous with Fate )

Uploaded chapter 13 to FFML today. Will upload chapter 13 in webpage when the FFML people finish shredding with it.

I never realized that 30,000 words were... a lot of words. Hmmm... and it might be truncated in email clients like gmail... which gives me headaches. 30,000 words was the product of one year worth of writing and several year's worth of editing that chapter, so it better count with all of the years in between that I post -_-;

I have been told before that I could split my FFML posts into parts 1 and 2, but I forgot. hmmm...

Ok, one day after my harddrive failed, I finally found a pre-reader through livejournal. khym_chanur someone I'm extremely grateful for becuase over the past couple of years I've been collecting and dropping pre-readers on and off.

The Rendezvous with Fate found on fanfiction.net has been revised three times (from prologue-current chapter) over the course of its edits, and with the help of 
khym_chanur[Unknown site tag] we're doing a fourth system wide edit. I know I should be moving on and writing chapters 14 to 18, but give me a little leeway and try to salvage my harddrive until the fourteenth, so I'm occupying myself with reediting rend.

I didn't think that finding more errors could be possible, after all Rend went through three editors before it was released in the FFML, but somehow khym has found the natural flaws in it. So yeah, we're updating. (Yes, Rend is not dead! yay)

As we progress along the editing of rend, prologue was edited once, chapters1-6 was edited twice already and 7-13 were edited once. So khym will be adding to that. Remember though, as the chapters go along, the word count gets as large as 30,000 words, and editing sometimes takes twice as long as writing.

Thanks for all of your support on this matter. I will be writing rend again. I'll update you guys when rewriting of rend is finished as well as the editing of rend. As I've said, I've finished reoutlining rend, it's only a matter of time before I finally start typing those words away. With khym's help, I'll probably be inspired to write a few more chapters before this month is through.

Since I've finished re-installing all of my old software, and the newly Microsoft Office my dad bought, I can finally type. Now, if I could only get the mouse to work, I can finally check those annoying radioboxes in the installShield.

Caret browsing is fine, but hell, it takes thrice as long as normal. If it were just system files I'm toying with an occasional install it would be fine...
