Membership pause and break
🕑 Added 2025-03-02 14:56:15 +0000 UTCTl;dr:
Taking a month off from posting starting Sat March 15th, back on Wed April 16th.
Membership billing will be paused from March 15th and turned back on the April 15th. Within that period, your billing will be paused (aka if you usually get billed on the 25th, you will not be billed March 25th, and you will instead be billed on April 25th. You should still have access to everything I post/have posted.
NOTE: If you are new and want to access the chapters while billing is paused: You will be billed to access the chapters, but you will only be billed a second time after I reactivate.
I need a break. This is a lot of fun, but it can be draining at times. The month will be broken down in 2 weeks of vacation, and 2 weeks of focused editing (book 1 of Scorching)

Hey everyone!
This has been a crazy year. I started my posting journey on RoyalRoad all the way back in March of last year and since then, I was able to grow this little corner of the internet where I get to share my stories, thanks to all of you generous folk. Whether you supported me financially or with your time by reading my creations, you made a huge difference.
With that said, I don't remember having had any real breaks in a minute. I took a week around the winter holidays, but it ended up being gobbled up by Undersea book 1's edits so I haven't really gotten much rest in there.
I'm a bit tired. Not really burned-out, but I think I need a healthy break, and so I'll be taking a month off (and suspending billing).
My break will be around two weeks, and I plan on using the other two weeks to solely focus on the edits of book 1 of Scorching instead of having to try to fit it into the usual schedule (maybe even get started on editing Undersea book 2).
For this, I will suspend billing starting from March 15th at noon and will resume it on April 15th at noon. If you're unfamiliar with billing pauses, feel free to ask in the comments but basically, no ones gets billed within the pause, only those who are new and wish to access the advanced chapters. If you just got billed (let's say on 14th), you will not be billed on 14th of April, and you will have access to everything that gets posted from the 14th of April all the way to next billing on the 14th of May, so it should all even out in the end.
This new standard (and default) billing feels a bit awkward to me, and I wish it worked as seamlessly as the old billing where you can have everyone on the same page, but not much to do about that.
I hope you will all understand. I'm a bit nervous about this break because it's a bit of a risky move in the field, but I wish to do this stuff for a long time, and if I don't take breaks at all... well, that's not very sustainable, I believe.
Thank you all for supporting me. I'll always be grateful.
PS: I'll prolly pop in here and there sometimes. Might even post a chapter or two, but we'll see. No promises :)

So we reached that point again. The point where a dedicated reader must kidnap the author and stash him into his basement to write more chapters !!! All following the laws of mental wellness and chapters care, of course. Now for a totally unrelated note, where did you say you lived already ? XDXDXD Take care and enjoy your break ^^
