Man, I have no idea at this point. I think I can make the minimum size requirement if I can get my brain to hold still long enough and stop worrying about final quality and handwave over some major plotholes, but my brain has not been in a holding-still mood. I'll try to bash out as much as I can?

I'm still kinda stuck on the heist bits, insofar as what the hell they're stealing and how and why. I think the thing they're trying to prevent Max from getting or selling on is a customizable virus, like, a biological weapon that can be tailored to attack specific genetic traits (basically genocide in a bottle, and it doesn't even work as well as the people who'd use it would want to believe because the technology's not that good and population genetics just doesn't work like that), but I'm not sure how to break that into steps (for people who haven't read my complicated plot outline, I'm looking at a three-stage heist story where each job leads to the next, bigger one; the first one especially has to require a bigger team than the Losers by themselves, the second has to have a first, failed attempt and a successful second chance, and the third has to require the official Losers creating a distraction while *mumblemumble* save the day). Halp?

Thank you! We should definitely talk vids soon. Lemme get a bit more of this draft into the archive first.

I lurk in various chats some of the time. E-mail or PMs or whatever are good too.

You can do this, bb! I'm finishing up my own bangs so I don't have time to look over it (I'm terrible at heists anyway), but I have complete faith that you will finish this and make it AMAZING.

Thank you! I think I actually have the plot figured out now? Had a long talk with a friend who knows alarming amounts about some of this stuff and we worked out something that looks like it makes sense . . . maybe too much sense, considering the fandoms I'm trying to fit it into, but oh well.
