(In response to the numerous length comments:

Indeed, this would be a fairly short novel. It came in at about 42,000 words, which according to my research is roughly the equivalent of 170 book pages.)

Incidentally, I don't think you'll have to wait TOO terribly long for the next piece from me. For those of you who are into anime, you might be familiar with the series FLCL. Its studio, Gainax, produced it largely to blow off steam after finishing a much longer work. IE, it's going to be shorter, written in a much looser style (Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions comes to mind.)

And - bad news for most of you reading this, considering where I'm posting - it's going to be pure SW. Well, 98% pure.
