	It seemed like a lofty goal 800,000 words ago; but 9/10ths of the way in it seems like I should be done by the end of this year. I probably won't be because seriously, the single hardest part in the whole series is still ahead of me, but it's nice to see it looming up.

	'''A.''' You could say the Course Books started as early as the mid 1990s, though their was literally NOTHING on paper back then. My first attempts at putting pen to paper didn't start until around the late 1990s, and absolutely nothing from back then has been used. Though much of my original work ~~servives~~ to this day(and believe me, if you feel bad about your own early writting, mine is ~~embarressingly~~ bad). Nothing that old has made into my modern work, though some ideas and character date back that far([[Jason Bur'I]]'s father originates in a story written in the summer of 99).		'''A.'''

	The original story-arch for the Course Books first began to take shape in the early 2000s, and was solidified by about 2002. The very first story ever to feature [[Hunter Jusenkyou]], the [[Saratoga]] and the rest of the [[Eighth Power\|gang]] was probably written in about 2001. That ~~stroy~~ shall never see print because it is rather shockingly bad.		The original story-arch for the Course Books first began to take shape in the early 2000s, and was solidified by about 2002.

	The earliest scraps of work to make it into publication were probably written as far back as 2002, though highly edited. I first began to assemble The Path to Ascension in 2005, though it wouldn't see print until 2007.
