Short Break + Schedule Poll
🕑 Added 2022-10-12 19:16:46 +0000 UTCHi all,
Thanks for your patience. I've been working out the direction I want to take Double-Blind lately, and attempting to do that while writing has made things a bit strained. Considering that, I'm going to take the rest of this week to outline the next hundred chapters or so and really nail down the direction I want the story to go.
I had an outline for the first 120 chapters (Though I diverted from that, significantly), and while I still have a solid ending along with several fully-fleshed arcs, and the suit section of the story is set in stone, we're somewhat spoiled for choice in terms of B-side story direction.
I wanted to take this time to get your feedback on what you'd like to see most. I've been tempted to use Matt's mask-off time to explore the dome area and flesh out the other regions a bit, but worried that could throw off the pacing.
Here's some potential focus points:
- Forging further into the realms of flauros and dungeon diving, focusing on leveling and the mysteries of the other realms and gear.
- Exploring the human side of things, meeting new characters and learning in-depth what many of the regions have been doing post-exposition
- Building up the Adventurer's and Merchant's Guild
Obviously, I'm captaining the ship, and along with a lot of story through-threads and side plots we'll continue to follow, these are all things we're going to delve into to some extent. But I wrote Double-Blind to be an entertaining thriller, and reader feedback is important to me. So if there's something I've listed you're particularly interested in, (or something I haven't), leave a comment or thumb one up, as this is sort of a pivotal moment in the story where we can easily shift focus in any direction while maintaining the primary story.
POLL On Chapter Schedule
You've also probably noticed I've been posting chapters in bulk at the end of the week for the last few weeks. This is mainly because I got somewhat overwhelmed. But there have been some unexpected benefits: Readers get to binge on a large number chapters when they go up, I get to focus on writing until the weekend instead of flubbing with Patreon every evening.
However, I get that the schedule has been somewhat irregular for a Webfiction Patreon, so if daily posts are important to you--or don't matter to you at all--please vote in the poll below.
When we pick back up, I'll be targeting:
5-6 chapters a week for Double-Blind
3-4 for Monarch
Either way, New chapters will resume Monday, October 17th.
