For what it's worth, when Paul made that claim about it being the longest LH fic out there, it was true (I backed him up on that). Some people who left reviews seemed to take that almost personally though, which was odd. Likewise, I still think that The Kiss That Never Was is a far better fic than that SI.
I still talk to Paul occassionally. The main reason he's not continuing TKTNW now is that he's still pretty busy with his massive original lemon Six Times a Day. Once it's over, he MIGHT pick up TKTNW again, but that's iffy (and I've been pushing him to read Negima and do a fic on that later - he's lukewarm to the idea though, since the characters are all so young).
The whole thing about college life in Japan was a thing for him. I did try to help him out with that (since I went to college in Japan for a year), but getting things like the exact time and duration of vacations seemed of paramount importance.
