Yes, I am indeed finished with the story in 74,725 words. This is the longest thing I have written, ever. I've been writing around 4-5k the past couple of days and my brain is fried. Meanwhile, I will give you the summary. I'll blabber more tomorrow when I'm feeling more coherent.
Summary: The city of Amanthus may be mysteriously rotting from the inside out, but Zan Hu has other worries. Her Uncle Elliot has passed away leaving several people clamoring after Zan, urging her to complete the research that he has left at loose ends. There's also the Museum director who's after her uncle's machines. Then there's her strange patron funding her work--why is he so adamant in following her around? Oh, and there's another thing that has her worried--changing into a fox at the most inopportune moment.
