So, as of last night the climax of the book is written. We still have to write the denouement, but that won't take long as it is already planned out. Once finished, we will run an editing pass or two, and then post the whole finale in one fairly large post. I had thought to post individual chapters, but we don't want to break the 3-post front page rule. I'm very excited about this, because it marks the first work of novel magnitude I have ever completed, with or without a collaborator, and for darkice as well.
To those who did not read the notes last week, due to real life complications darkice and I are delaying the next chapter of The Rusted Blade until next week. We found that if we don't keep a fair lead on the story, we *will* write ourselves into a corner, and then finding a way out of it without retconning what we've already released is tricky at best, and can interrupt the flow of writing.
I posted chapter two as a child page to Singularity, but it didn't show it on the main page. Am I doing it right? I want people to be able to tell when I post a new chapter... Anyway, maybe this will do for letting people know. Anyway, if you have any suggestions, reviews or criticisms, feel free to PM, email or comment on the stories!

P.S. I nearly forgot, I deleted a little at the end of the first chapter, I like the way I rewrote it much better. Big thanks go out to Shadowolf for ideas and suggestions, inspiration and heavy prodding!
