Sachmo, I remember reading the first one or two installments of this fiction, then I was away from the forum for a few critical weeks and now I look at the length of the thread and the thought wading backwards through the thread and all the non-story comments from other people... =-p

I've heard great things about the story and would like to catch up. Is the story available elsewhere in an uninterupted, linear format? Maybe you have it in a word file that you could mail me or have it on some other site.

If the answer to the above question is "no", then I guess I'll copy/ paste it all into word one day and read through it, but I just thought you might be able to spare me the work

Dogscoff, hit the "view printer friendly Version" button at the bottom. You still have to skip over some non story Posts, bu tat least you have it all in order.

This weekend I got bored and did that and saved it as a text fiel and went through and clipped out everything not part of the story. Took about ten minutes. I thought about posting it but realized it wasn't really polite without permission. I guess I could email it to you, but it's at home. Point is you could do something like that if you want yourself.

But you don't really need to go into all that. Simply getting it in linear order makes it much easier to read, even with the irrelevant Posts.

Thanks Geo, I've just done that. I'll start reading tomorrow.

Sachmo, your story is just under 70,000 words, if you didn't know. The non-story Posts and post headers contribute another 10,000 words or so to the thread.

OK, so that's an average of 3889 words per shrapnel page, which would make the cantina....

I finally got to read the Last story. Great job! I'm looking forward to see how you handle those pesky Romulans.

The story used to be posted without interruption on SEIV.Org, but it's gone now.

I will be happy to send a copy of the Word document to anyone who wants one. Just let me know your email address and I will send it to you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but writing a stroy about SEIV is like writing a mini series or something. I mean the game is so epic, therefore the any story about the game inherently will be epic as well. A true serial is I have ever seen one.

This week, the TEST FLIGHT, Stay tuned for next weeks exciting installment.

Too bad we can get money for advertising. Your story draws people in, and advertising would go hand and hand with it. (I'll bet money you story has inspired people to buy SEIV.)

Great stuff, easy to read, leaves me wanting more. Please keep the "fixes" coming.

Thanks, Atrocities. I guess it is sort of like a chapter play. The best part is, I really don't know what's going to happen next!
