yes, he sure did and it's not that bad, either. the story is solid and extremely entertaining. the first half is a bit of a mess, but he knows it and i think he's rewriting it, i'm not sure. the last half is really darn good and i couldn't put it down. i think he's posted some of it on his livejournal. and he'll probably send you an electronic copy of it if you hit him up on gmail.
