less, because Mariko-scene now happens on the lawn, the kids are finally playing, Seiran is on the phone, and Subaru no longer steps into the sand
more, because of an author note reminding me to close the Omi-thread properly here or in the epilogue
amount of chapter now in continuous text: 50% (discounting two small one-line-gaps and a bit of tinkering for effect)
scenes written: everything in the East Gardens except the ending of "When did you plan to tell me?!" (that's next)
character who is not inclined to take the new information calm and with a grain of salt: Subaru
character about to learn the hard way that Subaru can make scenes: Seishiro
interesting by-product of that: reality infusion for elder Makoto regarding the temper of the Sumeragi head.
quote of the day: "His wakizashi is still hungry."

current chapter word count: 5461
scene worked on today: Seishiro - Makoto
scene complete? no
character learning more than she wants about runes: Makoto
character learning more than he wants about the wakizashi: Seishiro
character busying himself to keep both interlocutors alive: Ameru
quote of the day: "No body to bargain with."
probable issue for later: relocation of the Mariko scene in order to avoid portraying Subaru as an reckless fool

current chapter word count: 5142
less because: Kamui's been firmly relegated to the epilogie
more because: "Kid's in the park", "Tree Talk" and "desk sex aftermath" got some content
anything complete? Not quiet. KITP the most, but it could use more polish.
character being unexpectedly useful: Godzilla
character not enough in the scene yet: Subaru
research of the day: Gojira
quote of the day: "Father's a vet."
related side-note: I'm still discovering the features and options of the AO3 by uploading single fics and sorting them. I especially like the series option that allows to gather connected stories in a sorted fashion. I'll have to find out, if it's possible to sort a fic into more than one series... :)

current chapter word count: 5037
less, because I cleaned up the file, tossed out no longer needed notes, marked the proper layout and thus got rid of all the excess stuff cramped in the first third of it.
scene structure as of now: {Tree Talk} - Some 'splaining - Ameru - waking Sei - waking Su - Michiko - {More 'splaining} - kids in the park - Mariko - "When did you plan to tell me?!" - "Fuck tradition!" - { all the rest (Yue, Home, Office & co.)} [legend: done, partially there, {missing}]
amount of chapter considered done & tinkered: 60% (in continuous text: 33%)
main issues: an introspective Seishiro, a rune-curious elder, a worried dad, and an assertive Subaru throwing everybody (but one) out of the room.
quote of the day (1): "Can't be a T-Rex. They're already dead!"
quote of the day (2): "And?"
partially related side-note: I played a little more with AO3 and though the import function works on none of my story sites to a degree that I'd trust it not to garble things up, it's by far the most promising & usable archive site I've come across so far.
I've started to upload not only my TBX-fics but also my GR fics to it. Those of you, who recall me and my archive attitude from Ranger-L-times, probably know what that means. :-)

scene worked on today: Mariko
scene completed? yes!
character getting yet another reality IV: Subaru
character with very limited imagination regarding his boyfriend: also Subaru
character who is in for some rather tough talk regarding secrets (again): said boyfriend
research of the day: Ninomaru pond, stone steps, bridge, reed, cicada
quote of the day: "I won't give that up!"
additional information: I'm now the proud owner of an account on the archive of our own (AO3 from now on within this blog). You can find me there as AKK. However, I will take my time to set up stuff there, since I don't want to slow down in writing because of it.

current chapter word count; 5396
scene worked on today: Mariko
scene complete? no, too much research
character whose apologies for once come in handy: Subaru
character whose shikigami is not a gyrfalcon: Mariko
character who still has to come past his stuttering for me to continue this scene: also Subaru
research of the day: Japanese school uniforms, school uniform fashion statements, Hanae Mori, gyrfalcon, black kite, hen harrier, Ninomaru garden and pond, lotus growth.
quote of the day: "Are you coming?"
frustrated realization: there's no proper word for a male mistress!
unrelated: I got my A-H1N1 immunization shot yesterday. 36 hours later, it still doesn't feel much different than the usual annual flu shot. The only truly painful experience in all this was the media hubbub and utter chaos created by the authorities in organizing the immunization campaign in Germany. *snort*

less again because I decided against the shower (and the fan service) and for the Seishiro-Makoto talk and some Subaru contemplation time
resulting in better characterization and more focus on the plot than the butt.
continuing with Subaru-Michiko (one scene given, since working speed is closer to normal now)
character in for a tough talk: Makoto
character clearing the premises: Subaru
character actually drawing an ofuda: Ameru
character more professionally savvy now: Michiko
quote of the day: His pulse. Not Sado's.
totally unrelated side-note: ( cut over drool tech )

I'm sad to say that chapter 18 still needs a few days more. This turned out to be a really extensive editing, but it's worth it. The chapter is going to be a lot angrier better read than what I had before!
quote of the day: "I claim your life."
In the meantime: have a look at the spot-sighting results of Seishiro's house! The cat and the business there are *priceless*!

Editing is proceeding slowly (on my end due to high work load), but it's proceeding well (as in the content is shaping up nicely). Sadly, it's unlikely that I manage to complete it this weekend.
Somehow, the next to last chapter of a story is always causing trouble. Chapter 8 of 36° was the same. *sigh*
