Well, I'm glad to know they're helping. One unanticipated side benefit for me I've discovered, since I started trying to do concurrent audio on the new releases (as opposed to recording the back catalog, which I still hope to find time to do more of when things aren't quite so hot on the textmaking front as they are right now), is that reading the whole thing out loud makes for a dandy (if time-consuming) last proofreading pass. Mistakes that the eye glides seamlessly over can trip the tongue in a way that makes them much harder to miss (albeit not impossible).

Oh. No, not so much this time. We just thought it would be a fun bit of symmetry to end with a reverse of the scene in which Korra arrived.
