Shadow General wrote:This is the type of summary that I like seeing. A few paragraphs that fold seamlessly into the storyline, and something that a reader WANTS to read. Especially if each chapter has a summary that is similar to the others, but different each time; such as a WIC memo in one chapter, a diary entry in another, and so on. Doing this makes each chapter more interesting as well as reminding the reader what has happened before, since reading nice long productions like this can take some time. As mentioned earlier in this thread, this allows the author to explore some unique perspectives that may otherwise not get told.
What I gathered from that review, however, was that the reviewer is expecting updates like some of the "chapters" (read: paragraphs) that get updated on ff.net weekly, or daily, if not sooner. I find that a lot of the "high production" stories on ff.net are of a very low quality, save for a select few authors.
Personally, I will gleefully wait a long time for a story to be well written, developed and proofed before it gets released to me. In the end, the reading experience of such a story is well worth the wait.
By the way Sunny, excellent job on the latest chapter. I spent some of my hard won time off re-reading the entire story including the newest chapters, and am truly impressed with the tapestry you can weave. Kudos!

Just imagine what some company agents wrote down as part of their debriefings after the incident at the school or any of the scenes they got involved in during the story. While it wouldn't be a chapter by chapter summary it could illustrate what it's like as a human pro dealing with the whole thing.
