Oh, you don't have to say anything, I totally know I'm right. >:]
Ah, okay. 66-69 was the weird arc you were thinking of taking out because it was unnecessary except for wrapping some characters up?
I know what you mean about the battles, haha. I enjoy writing them, but they take a lot more work/planning than normal prose. The next arc of Salvage has a lot of battles, and I've spent a lot of time staring grumpily at my notebook going "thbbbpppt" instead of writing them.
