I hope to get the next chapter (217) uploaded in time for the typical upload of a chapter every four days (due on the 24th). While that chapter is mostly written, work is rearing its... head. The company for whom I work just got an emergency contract and I fly out (domestically, unfortunately) on Saturday. Since there's a huge bonus for rapid completion, my crew and I will be working very long days. That means that if I don't get Chapter 218 done before I leave or during my travel out, I probably won't get to it until my return, and that is somewhat open-ended. I hope to, at least, post an estimate of when 218 will post once I have some firm idea.
Sorry for the probable delay, but them's the breaks when you work for a living.
