I'd say you're doing a great job of keeping on top of it, and I'm enjoying all the story branches.It's been a bit of a rough week workwise and I've burnt through the small buffer I'd built up. But haven't missed an update yet. Since the Introduction just hit 35, I'm thinking the next villain might be Ruby Thursday. Some interesting possibilities there.
If a branch gets 20 chapters deep, the villain succeeds in corrupting Susan Storm.
