I'm starting to charge ahead on the Edmund removal. I made a lot of changes to Chapter 3 and some to Chapter 1 and 2. The other chapters are just going to have Edmund removal so they should go pretty quickly. Aside from chapter 8, removing him should be pretty easy. There are also a couple of fights I'll have to work a bit on I suppose, taking out a soldier from my little group changes the balance.

Because books.
Yay, Plei! And Deena!
We need to actually concense on this, though. Allyson?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
We do need to concense.
So far we have some hats in the ring, and a general idea of theme. I shall go through the responses and see what we have.

I got through chapter six in my Edmund removing adventure. Hopefully seven and eight will be tonight. Eight will be the most difficult chapter as far as Edmund removal goes. Nine, ten, and eleven should be easy though.

Feeling in mid-writing that something I'm doing sucks out loud is no guarantee of real suckage, right? Cause I'm sort of having a Billy Walsh moment right now.

I think that is called normal.

Sorry I flaked. Had an actual date.
Will check through and post at lunchtime. Would someone contact Deb and see if she's in for a short story?

I emailed Deb, she'd be happy to contribute.

I got through Edmund extracting in 7 and 8. I thought 8 would be the tough chapter for doing that, but NSM. Now I realize that 9 is the more complicated one because the character that fills Edmund's role in 8 makes a decision in 9 that will have an impact on his relationship with the main character. When it was Edmund making the decision, it didn't really matter, but now it does and I have do decide what to do with it. So more thinking and work, but I feel like it's confirmation that taking out Edmund is the right thing to do.
