Randomly....
See this icon? Yes, that's Ryoko from Tenshi Muyo!; in a way this icon is appropriate for me.
Why? Because way back in the stone age that was 1998, when I started writing, my penname was Ryoko Saotome. This was partially from Ranma 1/2 and partially from Tenchi (I never did like Tenchi in Tokyo although Tenchi Universe was okay-ish). Over time it changed to Ryoko 03 to Ryoko Crawford... to Jounouchi Katsuko to just Katsuko. I still use Jounouchi Katsuko for my FF.net account, though.
So, yeah. A Ryoko icon suits me fairly well ^_^
Oh, and Avarice should be finished and posted everywhere tonight (note to self: update it at FF.net since you forgot to upload the LAST chapter anyway).

Layout and other cool things
I think I'm almost done making my little cosmetic changes to this blog. I've got the font looking pretty much uniform, the colors all match up, there are various neat things and cool effects... and I'm bloody well tired of working on it to be honest.
In other cool news, I just got the best review for Blood and Sacrifice Chapter Six, from Sacral:
You WILL write another "Endless Loop" story, right? RIGHT? Good.
See ya,
Sacral
It just tickled me to death to get it, so much in fact that I burst out giggling at work. That was fun to explain to the supervisor, believe you me.
I've already replied to Sacral personally, but I'll answer here also: Yes, there are plans to write much more on the Endless Loop saga. Once B&S and Avarice are finished, Katsuko is planning to work on Endear, while I start to work on Automatic Paranoia. Both of these stories will lead directly into Route 666, which we will closely coauthor. Some discussion has come up from time to time to write more after R666, especially since its epilogue is already finished and is safely tucked away on my Xanga, but nothing definite yet. R666 is still listed as the end of the saga on the EL webpage... for now.
After R666, only time will tell what will happen next.

Avarice note
Well, I thought I'd go ahead and mention here that Avarice Chapter Seven is almost ready to go. I need to rework a few things in the final part of the chapter before it can go live. This will be followed shortly by the epilogue.
Also, I'm going to take maybe a month off after the epilogue to gear up for Endear. Endear will be my last truly solo part of the EL saga, as I plan to assist ESM with the fourth chapter, Route 666.
Although it's been a long slow move to where I want to be, all that's left of Blood and Sacrifice is the epilogue... of which there is now nearly a full handwritten page. Since I try to have no less than 7 handwritten pages per chapter (and for EL, very seldomly more than 10), I'm about 1/7 to 1/10 of the way finished with it. Since it is just an epilogue, though, it might end up being shorter.
Next up after the end of B&S will be Automatic Paranoia, which will lead directly into the fully co-authored Route 666. Things are only going to get crazier from here on out. The poor, poor boys...
Amusingly enough, the epilogue to R666 is already done, even though B&S isn't finished and AutoPara isn't started. There is a reason for that though - which I'm not telling. I'm not giving away my secrets!
