First of all, I apologize to Tybalt and White Wolf for all the spam 
I've generated this week.

Now...I have two things to say right now:

1) Work on Faux Existence part two is progressing nicely. I have the 
storyline in mind, I've gotten the first flashback scene placed 
nicely, as well as some suspense elements in which Megumi is about to 
become more than background noise. No release is likely for this 
weekend, but I promise a release as soon as possible.

2) Which is where I have a bit of bad news.

I haven't spoken of this on the FFML (at least I don't think I have), 
but anyone who knew me from the rec.arts.anime groups on Usenet knows 
about the vision troubles I've had, and that I had to take a leave 
from the Internet for two weeks at the beginning of February to 
recover from cataract surgery.

Well, on Tuesday, June 10, I am once again undergoing cataract 
surgery. I am very anxious and relieved that my vision will finally 
be restored to normal and I will be able at long last to get on with 
my life.
 However, this also means I will be absent for at least one week from 
the FFML.
   I am NOT going to unsubscribe, as it's possible I'll be capable of 
checking my e-mail even while recovering. The last time I went 
through this I had one bad eye and one healing eye. This time I have 
one good eye and will have one healing eye. Therefore, I don't 
anticipate as lengthy an absence as the last time. Unfortunately, 
this will cause a fairly significant delay in the release of part two 
of Faux Existence, but frankly, I am more concerned about getting my 
damn eyesight back than I am about getting this fanfic out. As soon 
as I've recovered from  this surgery, I will work overtime to finish 
up Faux Existence.

Wish me luck, everyone!
