Hi all,

Thanks for the comments, reviews, feedback, and everything over the past month plus. As the end-of-chapter author's note on the last (actual) chapter indicated I'm inclined to continue the Rimward Bound saga (?) into a second book slash volume. The poll so far has been uniformly positive, so that's definitely on my agenda.

The other thing I have been contemplating is working in Audience Interaction tot he story in some form. In the past I have done CYA style works, with the audience polls / votes shaping the story. I'm inclined to do that again, but I'd like to hear what you all think about something like that.

So I've added a poll to this 'chapter' to get your feedback on the matter. Toss in a vote and/or a comment please!

As for release schedule: I'm not planning another Writathon esque rush of chapters. Currently I have a Wednesday + Saturday schedule penciled in, but that's subject to variation based on IRL work stupidity. If that changes I'll let you all know via author's note.

See you all again with the Start of Book 2 on this Wednesday. (Title TBD, probably going to be the name of the new ship)
