Wow... Okay, well I THINK I've managed to solve this uploading problem. The way I did it is, instead of having to break this up into 2 chapters as I initially hoped for, I have to break it up into FOUR chapters... Yeesh... Anyway, I really hope this doesn't drag on. Read on to see what I mean:

When I first started writing this multi-part fight scene, I was actually REALLY pleased with the way it was turning out. And the reason for that is I decided to experiment a little with my writing style. This isn't the first time I've written 2 or more simultaneous fights occuring at the same time. But in the past, when I've written them, I've sort of written them in a linear fashion, as one large entity. With THESE chapters however, I thought that the fight might be more fluid and organic if I wrote them as two SEPERATE fights, and then just sort of spliced them together. I wrote Miranda's fight first, then I wrote Gordon's.

This, however, had the opposite effect. Rather than being fluid and organic, the pacing of the fights seemed to sort of drag on. And the action got sort of stale and repetative. I also had to shorten some parts for one fight, lengthen parts on others, adjust chronology so things match up better, etc. So I had to work to fix all this. I'm not 100% sure I was able to do it right. I tried, but these fights were not meant to go THIS long. But, I did my best. In the future I'll stick to writing simultaneous fight action as one entity as I've done in the past, rather than writing them seperately and trying to splice them together later.

I'm really hoping you guys will like it. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
