As little as possible, I should think...

A lot of people didn't like this one, but I loved those Fireflies so much I just had to give them a good chapter.

Me too.  Harry's a decent guy at heart.

You'll see, grasshopper... Glad you're enjoying it!  Authors love to hear that over and over.

Thanks!  That's what I was shooting for.

Thanks!  Yeah, the whole Missing 24 Hours thing really bugs me--and I was very disappointed that DH did nothing to address it.

Elias is a sweetie--I wish I could do more with him, but alas, he's a minor character.

Exactly.  And she's too impatient for any "getting toknow you" phase.

*sporfle*  Yeah, the thought of Tonksy wielding a chainsaw was just too hilarious.  It's hard for me to imagine how one might attack a wolf with a lawn mower.  And yes, Harry's still in quite a pickle...well, I'm writing as fast as I can.

For lessons in the ancient art of lawn mower combat, see Braindead, by Peter Jackson. The film uses zombies, but frankly anything would go down!

Cool!  I'm glad it feels that way.  I'd rather have the chapter be about the characters, than about a blow-by-blow description of the battle.  Particularly once Tonksy picks up that chain saw...I mean, bleah!  But I wasn't sure if it would work.

I loved Tonks with the chain saw. Such a great contrast to the world of magic and very funny associations in my head (made me think of all the old horror classics, which made me laugh. I was just waiting for her to bring down a hockey mask over her face--and then it occurred to me that that's probably what the DE's look like in their masks and cloaks. The hunting become the hunted. LOL. Really great stuff.)

EXACTLY.  Except it's her vs. werewolves, but same idea.  Tonks is just so off-the-wall, she can pull it off.

Man, I hope so too.  But you've got a long ways to go before you'll be caught up to the chapters available.

Might as well take a break though--there's a lot ahead.

Thanks!  Hopefully more like 2/3 of a chapter...

That's the big question, isn't it?

Thanks!  I'm glad you're reviewing after each chapter--it's nice to get lots of feedback.

Thanks!  That was one of my favorite chapters to write.

More will be revealed in the next chapter...for those who can interpret it...

Me too.  It's about time he stood up for himself.

Aw, I prefer to think of it as appealing to his responsible side.

I'm an old fashioned Italian girl my gran was great at guilt and my father's mom was Jewish so I have had guilt trip masters all my life lol!

EEEEK!  *runs and hides*  No doubt!

Thanks!

:)  Thanks!

I wasn't either.  Welcome aboard!

Aw, thanks, Red.  It's not so much the chapter, it's time.  I've been writing grants and caught up with some major volunteer projects (I just got up the new website for the art center and it took forever, but it looks great:  www.willametteartcenter.com) and I just haven't had 10 minutes to sit quietly and write!  Hopefully soon.

Thanks.  If I can just get to Ch. 43, the rest is done...

WOOT! Goody goody, that's just what I wanted to happen. But sadly, I can't promise a timely update--43 is being started from scratch. But 44-49 are done...
