No, seriously. I've updated Galactic Trader. Chapters 7 and 8 are up, and Chapter 9 is in progress. I didn't touch the book for years, but I managed to get two chapters done in a few months.

I am a Defender-ship. I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups. What Video Game Character Are You? |
