Wow! But, geez, that's a bit overwhelming. More than 50 different links to read in one post. Yikes!

Could you do me a favor and make a post for each chapter? Not only would that make for bite size posts I'd be less overwhelmed by, I'd get to upvote each one, and you'd get more for your hard work making all of them.

I'd appreciate it, and I think it would do you good as well.

Thanks!

Edit: superbly done! I have yet 12 hours or so of informative links to follow, which IME is a novel contribution to a fictional story, but could hardly be more supportive of your plot and characters as you have used it.

A tour de force, IMHO.
