Cool Streaming Chapters. Probably can patent that idea and sell it to the publishing houses.

It would be interesting, seeing how an author actually does it...and you can see how much he misspells words and has to backspace.
Would probably be easier for me than other authors, because I do write in a linear fashion. I rarely write a chapter out of order. I think I've only done it like 4 times in the 24 years I've been writing. It's a holdover to the days when I used to write longhand in spiral notebooks. It's very, very, very hard to edit by ripping pages out of a spiral and trying to glue them back into the spiral in a different place.

So would a backspace count as breaking the stream or additional characters in the stream with the stream becoming 2 directional?

Backspaces are just another character - That's why there's the geek "^H" and "^W" jokes.
("^H" being backspace single character and "^W" being a word.)
Also, the streaming protocol for this is really easy to work out and can be done as a MS Word plugin (no, really).

Far from me being ungrateful... I better say thank you to FEL for Chapter 25. I checked and I have not said my thanks, after finish reading it.
The Media baron is coming. I wonder whether the Vulpan media empire will be bigger than the shipyards. One day. Media is a direct stable consumer business which is scalable and good growth if managed. Well shipyards are steel business and if the navies are not growing... well it will not grow. But it is still a stable business. (PS.. I am technically working in the steel business.. working for others.)

I have to keep you guessing.

You can overcome us being too smart by releasing chapters really rapidly, and not giving us the time to ponder on the consequences of the latest plot turn
*hides*
Don't forget how he allso Fib's when you guess Major plot points several chapters ahead
of him writing them ..... =P
