From your lips to TPTB's ears! I would love to see an episode focusing on all of the secondary characters. Especially Dr. Miko Kusanagi, who we haven't seen in far, far too long. Unfortunately, we're less likely to get that than we are to all hit the lottery. :-p

No worries, I'd be willing to bet that a ton of folks would love to see the interludes later, even if you don't write them for another year. You're one of those few fic authors whose stories are good enough to wait for.
