User blog comment:Fadingsilverstar16/LAL Chapter Seventeen Preview (for those still interested)!/@comment-1874924-20101031170231

I started to read this last night, but Wifey was getting lonely, so I put it off until this morning and thereby lost my chance to be the first commenter. Oh, well. You snooze, you lose.

As for slow updating despite working on it every day, I can certainly relate to that. I've been working on LTDI almost every weekday (weekends being devoted to things like my sports photography and hanging with you guys on the wiki), but it's such a vast project that I'm not at all certain that I can make my launch target.

As for your preview:

(a) I thought it was well done, not that I expected anything less from you;

(b) There's nothing wrong with having no spoilers. Quite the contrary--although minor spoilers are OK, it's best not to give big spoilers if you want the maximum number of people to actually read the story;

(c) I didn't spot the romance, either. That certainly makes sense, if for no other reason than because it would be a significant spoiler; and

(d) I did see some spelling/grammar/phrasing issues, but I don't really have time to go back and find them again right now. Maybe in about a week, when I'm done with my sports photography obligations.

In short, well done.
