A Gift of Fire, A Gift of Blood

General
Starting tomorrow and continuing every Monday for four weeks, I'm going to be posting the revised version of A Gift of Fire, A Gift of Blood on Fur Affinity, SoFurry and Weasyl.
This is a novella originally published in (gack) 1990 in YARF! about a frustrated feline artist who has a chance encounter with a vampire bat, leading to a curious friendship. It's been revised a few times over the years, but this is actually the biggest such revision, fixing a characterization issue that's bugged me for quite some time (and tweaking another major one, albeit more subtly), rewriting some clunky dialogue, and correcting some typos (and undoubtedly introducing new ones). As they say--well, someone must, right?--stay tuned.

God, I loved this series. Will there be a re-release of the sequel too?
My original idea was to try to come up with one novel-length... er... novel that would have combined the two, but I could never quite figure out how to make that work.
I know I already asked on the story page itself, but this story just means that much to me.
While I'd like to provide illustrations for an ebook release of this new version, I'm probably going to have to commission new work from someone. (And since it'll be an ebook release, I'll probably be on an unduly tight budget!)
I'm looking forward to reading it again.
