Fireholder, Squall and possibly Draco are being cut, also. Li is also a possibility. I'm keeping Cyg, Neo, Ai, and Aries because I know I can get in touch with them, sometime or later (only if this is getting published, though right now I'm being extremely pessimistic and doubting it will. I really need to thoroughly edit this, that and work on the beginning to Kill Aries, it is crap.)

Update:
I'm not in a good mood. Everyone's in possibility of being cut. No really, depending on how I do this (contest or publishing) it'd be a big hassle (I think). But, more than likely, I'll keep them the four or five I set left. I'm going to change the ones I've cut so to alter their original effect (really shouldn't be hard, the ones I cut are nothing like the characters I wrote, I just added names.)
But by tomorrow or Friday this should be done in writing. Then the fun fun editing comes. I'm jumping for joy in the excitement of retyping my mistakes

This is how it turns out: "Aries dies. The guy trying to get revenge dies. Ai pwns them. End of story."
No really, I'm serious. (Though, there's more to it. That's just the simplified simplified version.)
(Thanks, Cyrus, anyways.)

Neo helps too, but I won't say how.
(But, just to hint, it's neither a kick-ass ending nor a happy ending. The whole thing was never going to be simple, nor was it going to be particularly joyful.)
(Heh heh heh. In fact, you never turn up in the story, Ai, except in the ending of Kill Aries and throughout Part 3 (Kill Aries being Part 2.))

Heh heh, update:
Yeah, I just met my last year's English teacher today, and she actually finished proofreading the first half of the original version of Kill Aries. I'll be getting it tomorrow and start counting the mistakes (though that won't matter, I cut 1/3 of the story after I gave it to her.)

A shpadoinkle update:
Editing is slowly going by. I've gotten into the habit of editing a page a night, but doing extra on weekends. But holy crap, it takes 30 minutes or more to edit one page. I've added so much more sentences to each page I practically almost have run out of room on each page. At this point, it doesn't matter how long Part IV will be, it'll end up 45,000 after I finish adding to the first three parts.
Currently, my old English teacher keeps forgetting to give me my old draft. She promises to give it to me Monday, so hopefully I can have it by then.
And even more currently, I am writing the very, very end (one of the few parts I have neglected to finish, mostly due to it being added right at the last second) right now while coinciding with the editing. Heh heh, messed-up.

Is that a true shpadoinkle update or just a normal one.

Le Update:
Slowly going by...
My teacher is a forgetful one...
And I added a new ending and a new part and structure. Plus, I finally got a title for the novel! Whoop-de-dee!
And soon, after I'm done editing I'll be posting another topic to start off the next project I plan on doing (a slew of anime-theme short stories.)

La update:
Yay! Though this be a tragedy of a time, I have time to finish editing Kill Aries (heck, I'm already half way through. Got about 30 pages to edit and 7 to write.)
Hopefully, I'll be giving the whole thing to my English teacher Tuesday to be proof-read. And sometime in the next few days I'll be making a new topic for the new project

Update:
I'm going to get such little sleep tonight (and I've already lost enough this week)...
I'm working overtime and trying to finish the hand-editing tonight, because I got to do yard work tomorrow, possibly show Cyrus a movie, and do homework, so I'll probably avoid being online tomorrow.
Yeah, I told my Englsih teacher that I'm finishing this weeked, and I want for it to be for real, so here it goes...
