Today's Author Notes:
Thank you, everybody, for all the comnts and engagent with Dalliance Rather so far!
There's plenty to go, and I'm slowly but surely getting back into the swing of it, though I don't expect to go back to posting daily for a few months.
As of 3/12 (8:32pm), I've written most of the next few chapters but am not in a place to finish them today, so I'll do it tomorrow.
Revised 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 -- and I'm certainly seeing where things needed more explanation. I'll pick up the revision pass after I get back to daily. Priorities.
Continue to feel free to PM with specific issues you notice, if you like, or drop a comnt.
As a side note (and a reminder to myself): I have forgotten the current banked XP for Dalliance as of book 2, and owe him an updated character sheet and stuff. Also, the number was 19, but it was probably wrong? (note to self).

This is where the character sheets will go. I won't drop everybody's since so of the stuff is a surprise, and so of them don't really have anything interesting to show you.
Spoilers ahead unless you're up-to-date!
Hadn't updated this for 30 chapters, so . . . my bad.
