We just got done playing. Although we didn't finish out the chapter, and we had some issues where I wasn't explaining the rules properly, and players kept having to drop in and out, it went pretty well.
The game copes just fine with players dropping in and out, in fact. Even latecomers can always either take over an NPC (changing all their stats) or take up an unused character-concept. Players who drop out just aren't in scenes until they come back, which is fine as there's usually enough plot threads for something to keep going provided you still have some players left.
Also - the suggested advice for running parallel scenes adapts well to IRC, where you can run them literally in seperate windows.
All in all, I enjoyed running it, and will continue to run the game on the IRC channel (#indierpgs over on MagicStar, for those interested).
I will have a log up of the scenes we completed shortly. I'll post it here.
