Actually earnestly requesting the author to please not change his mind, and post original-MB version also as a separate fic on ao3 as he had explained. 
          Sir, even if it takes a few or many more weeks is fine, but please please don't decide against it.
          
          Most important reason - and hugely convenient for such a gorgeously long fic - is that a fic can be downloaded as 'all-chapters-together' pdf or epub there.
          
          Otherwise, it'll be possible for only the jain-MB version. Would really be thankful to have it possible for both versions.
          
          The two versions of 'Rashmirathi' have each been so engrossingly perfect that having the 'whole-story-one-download' option is just even more hoped for as the story develops further as two versions. Please, author?

Hello @Raijin1996, I would like to ask for a request. It would be much appreciated if you can post chapters with only 5k words instead of 20k words a chapter. As I noticed it took you more than a month to write ch 16 which exceeded 20k words. All your readers would be thrilled to read a new chapter every week even if it is only for 5-6k words.
          
          I am also aware you need to work with your editor who proofreads your chapters. This is just a humble request from my end if you can make this possible.

@Raijin1996 Formation of alliance between whom? And when will Arjuna seek out Krishna?

Raijin1996

Gandhari-Bhishma's confrontation (Ved Vyasa will be the suicide bomber in this), Karna's revenge on the Brahmin that killed Shon and formation of alliance is the next chapter.

@Raijin1996 I will. Thank you!
            As for requests I might have right now, I have a feeling those are coming up in the next few chapters, so I'll wait.

            Thank you for your kind words BTW. 
            
            Anyway if you have any requests for me... Please do ask me. If possible and if it fits in story I'll make them happen. If it does not I'll tell you on your face.

@Raijin1996 Fascinating. That's awesome! I'm glad those requests panned out. Those were some of  my favourite parts.

Author i think jain version is more suited here because gandhari did tell bhishma all her family is dead.
          Anyway I am eager to see her response learning truth of her family demise in jain version.

@Raijin1996 yeah you updated yesterday na, I have been following your ao3 story before you began writing on whatpadd.

Hello excitingly waiting for jain version to be uploaded at ao3. When are you uploading it?

Raijin1996

@RameshMartin Writing is done. Editing was still in progress. My editor seems to be busy. 
            
            Anyway here it is. Unedited and raw

The chapter was wonderful :))
          
          Sir, could you please publish both versions (original and Jain) - as two separate consecutive chapters, version stated in chapter-title - at least on ao3?
          
          Most people have no idea that the Jain version is not actually the original, or that the various versions differ quite drastically. So it would be fantastic to have both as consecutive chapters as a great treat.
          
          Most importantly, an 'all-chapters-together' fic-download is possible on ao3 only. Otherwise, we'll have the option of that 'whole-story-download' for only the Jain-version-chapter fic. 
          (And really don't want this fantastic long 'original version' chapter missing from the only option for 'whole-story-download' as the story will continue with further chapters. Please, sir?)

Lei12453

That 'extra work' is in addition to your fic's exceptional quality and wonderful length of the chapters, sir. Really thank you. :))
            
            The person was in the SW fandom for many years, and then the fics disappeared sometime back, sir. No idea what happened :(
            
            Just very thankful that you are willing to take the time to post the 'original version' fic also on ao3. With every superb chapter - and thus this entire expanding fic - of such great length, it makes it possible to download (or even read) from start to latest in one go (and lose track of time totally in the reading :D). Thank you so much. :))

            No issues. It's what I have taken up, just posting the chapters is the extra work for me. Anyway who's the other author who has done something similar to this?

Lei12453

All the chapters until before 'Rashmirathi' in both versions, and then the two versions developing separately? You are planning to write two paths for all further chapters, sir?!
            
            Posting such two versions (and thus let both have the option of 'whole-story-download') would be great, sir. Thank you so much for being willing to take the trouble.
            
            Another author there had also done this - one separate fic each for of the two versions of their story. It was a delight to have both options. 
            And now this fic of yours, which I've loved even more and enjoyed for umpteen readings. Thank you very very much. :))
