> This isn't the most amazing chapter, but I'm attempting to get back on the horse and this is a prerequisite to the next one that I actually want to write.

>> **u/CitrusJ** [+13]  (6 hours later)
>> 
>> I liked it! I actually had the impression the story had stopped after chapter 3, so glad to see there's more to come

>>> **u/DRMacIver** [+9]  (16 hours later)
>>> 
>>> It didn't so much stop as stall. Everyone got so overpowered so fast that I was going "ah shit how can I have a satisfying resolution to this?". I subsequently figured one out but it took a while to get back into writing.

>>>> **u/None** [+1]  (a day later)
>>>> 
>>>> Please keep it on. I'm loving it thus far.

>> **u/nerdguy1138** [+1]  *GNU Terry Pratchett* (2 days later)
>> 
>> Scene breaks, use them.
>> 
>> Other than that, damn fine work!

>> **u/ArmokGoB** [+1]  (2 days later)
>> 
>> I loved it.

> **u/scruiser** [+2]  *CYOA* (a day later)
> 
> Not as good as the other chapters... but the other chapters were absolutely brilliant, so this chapter is still well above the average for fanfics.

> **u/chaosmosis** [+2]  *and with strange aeons, even death may die* (a day later)
> 
> Escalating escalation escalates.

>> **u/DRMacIver** [+4]  (2 days later)
>> 
>> There's really nowhere to go but up when your starting premise is "competent people get ahold of a genie"

>>> **u/JackStargazer** [+3]  *Primordial Apologist* (3 days later)
>>> 
>>> I mean, you could always introduce the person who originally made them make the vast majority of the rules who has been sitting around for a while.
>>> 
>>> And I mean, if [you really want to Escalate...](https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/2e6at5/respect_skitter/)

> **u/None** [+1]  (4 days later)
> 
> If this were fully fleshed out and 20,000-80,000 words long, this could be one of my favorite rational fics.
> 
> On the other hand I hope you'd finish it quickly so I'd get to see the resolution.
> 
> So questions:
> 
> 1. How long will this be?
> 2. When are you going to post the next chapter?

>> **u/DRMacIver** [+2]  (4 days later)
>> 
>> 1. The next chapter is intended to be the last. There may be an additional epilogue. I am giving some consideration to rewriting the whole thing into a full story instead of a series of scene fragments once I'm done, but am not yet certain I will.
>> 2. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

>>> **u/Martofunes** [+1]  (2 months later)
>>> 
>>> So... How are you these days? any news?
