I was worried when Winry couldn't find her doll and Hess came to the door. I was more worried when he showed up in the Thule Hall. And now, two gunshots have been fired, Al's finding blood, and maaaaan, you've got yourself a cliffhanger.
Ok I know I already commented on FFN too, but I can't help it. I think my favorite line in this whole chapter is this one:
Ed's annoyed and pointed finger flew out into Hess's face, "Shut. Up."
I especially like the pixie that goes with it showing the annoyed and pointed finger. as well as the mouth saying "Shut. Up." Ed has to know by now what a dangerous creature Hess can be, but he seems completely nonplussed by that.
I also like the fact that Ed uses the phrase "For shits and giggles". That wins.
Ed's messy brain doesn't always get the "wait, maybe you should think about this first" signal, which makes him a lot of fun. Especially with Winry. Sometimes, I just think he honestly doesn't care who he's talking to, he just does what he does XD. I'm pleased the picture turned out ~ I liked that moment too.
I love "Ed's messy brain" as a description. But you have to know that his brain is like my room. it may look a mess to the layman, but I know exactly where everything is, and the things I am most actively using are within an arms reach. I think my brain is like that too.
PS: Chapter 89 was titled XXXVIII. Shouldn't 90 be XXXIX?
I can only imagine the kind of disaster that Ed's brain is XD and that is exatly how my room (and desk at work) are. *I* know exactly where everything I need is in that 'mess' XD
And yes it should be... and I thought I had. I'll double check!
My comment was too extensive... so.. er.. you get one more. not as big, I promise because I'm done now. hahaha
I'm trying to get the basic formatting standardized too. First the chapter header and then the side story/commentary from characters that often heads a chapter with a half inch margin, no indent and italicized, and then a line break and the beginning of the actual chapter. Trying to get all the horizontal lines flush with the margin with a zero space above to the previous segment and one line space below. I'm not sure if I can work out with Word how to do a search and replace on that formatting or not. I'm going to try in a minute. On a chapter break, there is page break before the chapter header. I'm still working on that. I might have to load it into the HTML editor first. formatting the horizontal lines, spacing and indent are not necessary after all. Mobipocket automatically makes that consistent and puts in an extra line only if I put it there

*punts her laptop* when I want the next email or window to open, I want it to open now, not 5 or 10 minutes from now.
LOL XD
Sure I can do that. Most of the art is storred in the same folder on my website, but the old FMA art folder is a gongshow XD; so it'd probably be best to organize it somewhat into a document.
... o.O I can offer to share it on Kindle? That sounds like a neat idea. I'll have to look into that. I don't mind the Kindle-ing at all!
I'll send you a bunny, here! *sends plotbunny through the internets!* for Chasing the Trail!
OMG evil_little_dog wasn't kidding when she called it a novel a while back XD I had no idea how many pages it was... once upon a time when I had access to a free printer I printed it off. That stopped at like chapter 15 I think though LOL. I might get to 1K by the time it's done (I do FINALLY have a general outline to the end... I've never had one that went that far before. I've known how it would end, but I couldn't get too far ahead of myself because I kept changing my mind. Now, it's there.

Yah, you can upload it to Mediafire or your personal web server something like that and provide people a download link. Either chapter by chapter, or as a whole as I'm building it. (I do convert each chapter temporarily though so that I can just read that chapter, but I tack it on to the end of the whole document. I don't know if Mobipocket is made for a Mac though. Hrm. MobiPocket Creator is here: http://www.mobipocket.com/en/downloadsoft/productdetailscreator.asp I don't know if it will run on an Apple product.

I like a good ol' cliffhanger sometimes :D
There is a cascading amount of stuff 'fun' going on, and will continue to go on for a bit *is excited*

Cliffhangers are fun. For the writer. For the reader, not quite so much. For obvious reasons.
YAY FOR CONTINUING 'FUN' STUFF.

:D Yes, writers get the amusement of people suffering through their cliffhanger... quite the opposite for the reader indeed XD
MORE fun stuff goes up *posts next chapter*
