OP are you still around, and interested in seeing this thing finished? I have a ton of excuses most of which are that weird combination of both true and flimsy. I had at one poin thought I'd finished this. I also had some massive RL issues, and then I sorta... forgot about this. Sorry. I reckon I could get about two more chapters to finish (or maybe one MASSIVE chappie and a bitty li'l epilogue) if you still want.
