Title: Chapter 1: The New Law
I am enjoying this story, despite being almost exclusively a fan of foot stuff. I for one appreciate the lead-up to the last chapter and think you've done a great job of laying out the cruel fate of this young man. I do have a question, though. You've said several times that you've already written this story out, including the conclusion. If so, why do you wait so long between posting chapters? For that matter, why not post it in its entirey?
Author's Response: I guess I should elaborate on this. I never have the story fully complete. I usually have the first four or five chapters done, outlines of a few chapters, and the conclusion partially written. For example, in this story, the ending was the last two chapters. Before I even posted the first chapter, I had the president's speech 3/4 of the way written, all the dialogue written after that speech, but I had none of the paragraphs that led into the presidents speech and very little written of the narration between each character speaking. That's why these last couple of chapters took so long, because I basically had to go back and write all the boring parts, a lot of he said, she said stuff. I usually write entire chapters, proof-read them a week later, and then post them, but occasionally I'll write chapters that are almost completely all dialogue because I don't have time to write the entire chapter, but I have an idea for what I want to happen. I usually kick myself later because it's boring to go back and fill in all the stuff between the dialogue and it usually needs a bit of a rewrite, which is why these last two chapters took a while. The only reason I even decided to do it yesterday was because of YOU GUYS! I know how frustrating it is when an author gives up halfway through a story, and that's why I always have an ending planned for mine before I start posting it. Yesterday, I decided it was about damn time I gave you the ending you all were waiting for, and I apologize for the wait.
On the bright side, I have about 25+ potential stories in a folder on my computer, and most of them are short stories like Kate's Detention or Sorority Prank, which means you'll get the full stories when I upload them. Only two of them are going to be divided into chapters like this one. When they'll get uploaded? Who knows. I have a story called Powder that's been about halfway written for two years. Then there's another story called Amy the Ass that I sat down and wrote half of the other night and hope to have finished very soon. So many projects, so little time.
