@Ken: Wow, thanks. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I think I'd probably try to get an agent interested first, though. If you go in "over the transom" (i.e. unsolicited):

"Reporting time: usually within 9 to 12 Months."

If you can get a good agent, they can get around a lot of the road blocks and get your work seen by the right people. It speeds up the process.

And now it looks like the crap really hit the fan, but then again we knew it was coming from the sell out on the last level.

I guess they get to meet the land lord now.

Awesome story so far. If you write more stuff like this, ever consider contacting some publisher like Baen Books or such? I could see them publishing something like this.

@JZ, Interesting insight. Tempted to go back and try to quantify that.

In my experience, the really tense posts get almost no comments at all. My theory is that people are just waiting to find out what happens next and don't want to think to comment until they know.

That last sentence is mostly warmup to me mentioning that this is a great example of the sort of post that wouldn't get commented on...
