Part 5 of the John the genius series has been posted, and should be up relatively soon. Special thanks to Old Rotorhead for editing.

Part 6 likely won't post in February. It is too important that part 7 be posted immediately afterwards, so I'm waiting for both to be edited. I don't have a date for that, as my editor just got them, and he has a life beyond editing for me.

Part 7 will likely be the last part for a while. My Dad died a few weeks ago, and I just haven't been up to finishing part 8. Because I have tried to make each part stand alone this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Part 7 does an excellent job answering many of the unanswered questions.

Part 5 is with the editor, once he's finished, I'll do a review and post. Part 5 will probably be the only part posted in February. Six and 7 are linked by a cliff hanger so I'll try to post them as close together as I can.

Thanks to the hard work of my editor Old Rotorhead, part 4 has been edited and submitted. It should be up shortly. If you were waiting for the edit, this is it. Only minor story additions.

The voting was fascinating. 40% edit first, 40% story now. 20% some combination of: it's your story do what you want/ post then edit and repost.

I have an editor now, and part 3 and 4 are expected to be edited in two weeks or so. Since i posted part 1 and 2 in December, i thought I'd do part 3 and 4 in January, five and six in February, and seven and eight in March.

That's subject to change of course, what isn't.

So here's my quandry. The score for the story is going up as new parts are released. Is it because the loyal readers of the series are reading and voting, or is it getting better?
Second question, are you willing to wait on editing or do you want the new parts as soon as they are finished? What's more important?
I'm currently writing part 7, as 4-6 are complete but unedited.
Thanks for feedback
