Please don't hurt me

As you can see, I'm new. Found the Firestaff saga via a link placed in the fan forum of anouther web-writer. I now can't decide if I love or despise the individual who placed that story recommendation. I had completely lost myself in "Firestaff" and moved onto the Pyrosian epic all the while dreaming at night of what Tarrin was going to do next. Now I find myself dangling from the cliff of chapter 8 and wondering when 9 will show up to save me.
So....on to my newbie question... is there a regular plan of posting to the chapters (ie: every 3rd tues or some such) or do they just show up as Fel creates them? I only ask so I know how far to let my junkie-like checking of this board go before it just gets silly.

We're fine with the junkie-like checking, there is no silly. :p
The chapters just come out as Fel creates them, there is almost a schedule but its sometimes broken depending on what Fel has to do irl or if he feels the need to rewrite parts of a the chapter.

Yeah, it just brings you a bit further into the comunity (if that is what it should be called...). At least some of us check several times per day. (I check some 20 times or so...)

And I thought checking twice a day was bad. I now stand corrected.

Also speaking of numbers, we've got 99 loyal Fel readers. That's right, there are 99 members of this forum.
Who wants to be #100? (or recruit member 100?)
Keep up the good work Fel!

This is in response to someone thinking tha Macros is dead in the Riftwar.... (it has been ages (more than a year ;D) since I last read those books) but if my memory serves me right there was no confirmation that he was actually dead. His servent (the name escapes me) just indicated that he could no longer "feel" Macros which either meant he was dead or "beyond time and space" (or something along those lines). I for one (knowing how difficult Feist has made it to kill any of his "MAIN" characters) believe that Macros is out there, just in case Feist wants to write another saga.
Of course that is just my opinion ;D
By the way, Miser, you say that you are reading Dark Tower V... WHERE did you find it?!?!?! I have been dieing to read that!

If you really want to know what happened to Macros, let me know here and I will tell you. Otherwise, read Shadow of a Dark Queen by Feist, if you would rather read it for yourself.

Another web-junkie here. Someone posted the link to Uncle Rand's site on another yahoo group I'm part of. Fortunately I am now finished with Firestaff as well as up to date on Pyrosia. Now I can pull my other projects off the back burner. :)
I have really enjoyed this series. It is an epic tale in the same vein as the Wheel of Time or Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, but the teeth nashing and self-doubt of Tarrin didn't annoy me like those other protagonists, but instead endeared him to me. A throughly enjoyable read. Fel really should consider conventional publication, I think his writing is better than many authors I have paid to read.
Ps- I don't know who the 100th member was but I'm 106.
