I mentioned a Tim in this one... But it's the Tim from OTOH.

Word count: 40,000
Chapters: 16

Well, 15 needs about 500 words to make it more average length, but I liked the ending where it was and it snuck up on me and I'm not sure where to add those 500 in. I've got a couple ideas...

Of course, the vast majority of 16 is OTOH in 2700 words or less and so may all get deleted later. Bits and pieces of OTOH have been referenced to this point but this was telling someone who knew nothing about it the whole story.

I didn't mean to stop at 40K even today, but I needed like 21 words to get there so I went back and added some more in without really counting and it came to exactly that.

Last thing I wrote:
She stopped and looked at us. "I think I've got it."

Now... bedtime...
