It's that time again.
🕑 Added 2024-12-14 10:59:06 +0000 UTCRewrite time. I figure I'm allowed one per book.
Specifically, I finished the chapter, sat back, looked at it, and it's... fine, but I don't love it. For a few reasons, some of which which are plot related.
More to the point, I've got a much better idea.
So I'm writing the chapter again. Even if it's killing me inside because I was kind of hoping to have this book finished by early to mid January - hence why I'm not taking my normal two week Christmas break - and this is likely going to push that back a week or so. Plus, you know, it's always fun throwing away a few days worth of work.
The question is, ya'll want me to post up the old version even though it's... well, a dud.

It's a shame, but stuff happens. As the US bizarro band Primus has as the title of their 'greatest hits' album, "They can't all be zingers..."

Non canon chapters are powerful!

Readers: "Good, Blue. Kill it. KILL IT NOW." Chapter: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

I will not read non canon event. I like to keep myself imerged in stories and it breaks the flow. But some seems to enjoy this so...

It's good, but I think you can draw it out more.

These retconned chapters are kind of fun. Like the games that have a short bit of dialog after a Game Over. "Snake? Snaaaake!"

Nah, nothing spoilerific.

I’d like to read your rejects eventually, but could you advise on when it won’t contain spoilers? If it’s just a rewrite of the same plot I’ll wait until the next official chapter is out but if it contains elements you’re saving for months down the line I don’t want to read it till then. Also, at risk of sounding like a broken record, quality over speed.

But then how will we force our money down your metaphorical Throat?

That's why I said 'reasonable". You deserve a fair amount of downtime considering the sheer amount of work you put in to give us weekly chapters. Take all the time you need. I, for one, will wait however long it takes.
Blue Fishcake
It will, though I am planning on taking a few weeks off between books to recharge my writing batteries. I figure I've earned it. I'll just switch off Patreon for that month.

I also would love to read your misses and compare to what you are satisfied with. The end of this book is that close? Well I'd be panicking right now if I didn't believe in my heart that book three will follow in a reasonable amount of time. Lol

I would love to see what you think is a dud, and then compare it to the "actual" chapter when that comes out, so please post it anyway

Love to see it, but put forward what you're happy with

From everything I've seen, your "fine" is better than many people's "good"! I'm happy just to get more content. But don't you go working yourself to the bone on our account! Take the time your need! 👍

Early to mid January? One week is nothing. Do what you think is right.

And for context meaning as long as you are good.. don't feel like you need to burden yourself for us. I feel pretty confident saying that as long as you were feeling healthy and are in a good place, we are more than happy for anything
Christopher Manoff
Hey, as long as you keep yourself good, and are happy with what you feel like you want to give us.. I'm more than happy to receive whatever you want to give us :-)

So long as publishing the old version doesn't have any adverse effects on the rewrite I'm all good! Dont take it too hard wordsmith, we need you alive as long as possible!
