Is the camp Ray's heading to in Chapter 114 the one he was packing for in Chapter 19?
Chapter 26
There is a continuity error early in the chapter. The sentence which states Ray makes soup and hot cocoa for Denise and Pet. Immediately followed by Denise complaining that Ray has only made them for Annie.
Forget my previous comment on Chapter 26. On rereading it, I realised that I conflated two characters into one and mangled the meaning of the sentences.
I've been trying to create a Time Line of the Sylph Universe (As Near as I can Figure it out based on clues within Annie’s Stories and Land Of The Sylphs) The primary clues I used for dating each chapter are the references to Movies, Songs, Historic Events and cultural references made within the Chapters. On “The Day” (no date is actually given) that people, including Annie, first shrink into sylphs she is six years older than Raymond, she is a Sophmore in High school and sixteen years old, Ray is ten years old at the time; school is in session but it is springtime. Therefore, “The Day” likely occurs in Late April or Early May. Ray Graduates High School in May of 1980. Assuming that Ray Graduates at the age of eighteen (which is the norm), “The Day” occurred in 1972. Thus late April or early May of 1972 is the beginning date of the Sylph Universe. For the stories I’m writing I’m putting the date of “The Day” as 05May1972 and estimating the time of Annie’s and Mia’s Shrinking at 1412 hours Eastern DST. I have not been able to fit evey chapter into the chronology, but I’m still looking for clues in each chapter and will update this as I can.

Chapter 146, "Candy," is formatted in tiny script. Did Pet type this chapter?
No title for chapter 110? I'd probably use "Surveillance Breakdown."
As near as I can figure it, "The Day" of the first people shrinking into sylphs was 14July1972. Is that correct?
Is Chapter 43, XXXXIII, "Trips" incomplete? It ends like part of the story didn't get copied over.
Chapter 44 "Fonder Hearts" it seems more likely that Ray commissioned six "Ark" carriers from the weavers than sixty.
Chapter 45 2nd paragraph: I believe you were aiming for " . . . went to bed happy . . ." and the 2nd "bed" in the sentence is missing the ending "d" as well
