With the end of the serialization of The Plainsrunner on OliverOnline, it will soon be time to take down the chapter files from the Green Comet website. At that time it will no longer be possible to download them, so if you are missing any now is the time to get them.
I have decided to leave them in place until the end of November to ensure that everyone gets a fair chance to get them all, but as of December 1st they will be gone forever. Thanks again for taking part, and if you know anyone who needs to complete their collection of chapters please let them know of this deadline.
It’s been a fun experiment.

Dear readers:
Request for Reviews
This is the last week of this serialization. I've enjoyed this experiment and was encouraged to see people coming back week after week to pick up their installments. It was a lot of extra work, but it has had its rewards as well. The Plainsrunner will soon be published and available online, so now is the time to ask my readers to consider posting a review when it appears. It can be a one liner or two pages of details, whatever suits you. There will be review copies of the complete novel available for participants, so you can write your review now or wait until you've read the finished novel. If you want a review copy please drop a comment here or at greencomet.org, or email me at arjaybe@greencomet.org.
Thank you for participating,
Jim
This week in the story: The Sunwardians go home in their repaired vessel, and the Grasswindians enjoy a cup of ersatz coffee with Archie. Tallgrass and his crewmates prepare to return to Grasswind. They hope they will meet again and all work together, but for now they just want to get home.
