Quick updates ahead

Chapter 07: Sue's Risk will be up on Friday, September 3, 2010. It's actually done, but I'm spacing out the updates.

I can't wait to get this particular chapter out actually. From here on, the real plot of Vena Cava finally starts. Here starts the puzzles, brain-frying questions, and build-up of the plot. There are lots of revelations in this chapter too, and if you are smart enough to spot the gazillion clues I dropped in the past 6 chapters, you'd be able to connect a good number of what has been revealed so far at this early point of the story.

New characters come in too. There's a guy who's barely 4 feet, a girl who smokes cigarette like a chimney, a popular TV star,... of course the already-revealed characters like Albert Einstein, Kato Kenta, and Shouhei Lascaux.

For some reason, I think I'm beginning to enjoy building up the Sue-Sen relationship, in fact much more than I enjoyed doing Kosuke and Ayane's. I personally think that Sue and Sen are more flexible to control. As the author of the story and given the personality I assigned to them (lesser angst, hilarious and sarcastic rolled into one), I find it easier to create scenes involving the two of them compared to doing Kosuke and Ayane (I mean, imagine Kosuke and Ayane doing the ramen house scene of Sue and Sen in Chapter 4: Stalker? Weird huh?).

Regarding the PM list, unfortunately the links have been broken. It's been a while since we last dropped by Soompi Forums and I think the maintenance done on the site has something to do with it. Meia's currently re-doing the PM list. I would be updated on the installment of Chapter 7. Until then, just send her or me a PM if you intend to join/remain/be removed from the PM list.

Thank you for all the support and thanks for reading Vena Cava.
