Damn. The final chapter of "Directions" is 18K words, too long for a single post. The last time this happened, I published it in two posts, which is weird because the second half appears on people's flists BEFORE the first half... and posting the halves in the opposite order doesn't have a good flow, either.

And it truly is all one single chapter; it doesn't have the flow or structure to be two separate chapters.

So, a quick poll for those of you who plan to read it:
