    STATUS UPDATE

    Gentlereader, the next chapter should be done either tonight or tomorrow. My apologies for making you wait this long. I had hoped to have this released last Saturday, but unfortunately fell ill, and wasn't able to do much of anything over the week. Well, I'm off to get back to writing, looking forward to reading your responses.

    Until next time!

    Recently a reader has decided to grace the comments of The Great Slave King with gems such as these:

    I am half a second from Downvoting this story. I hope there is a reason for me not to.

    NEW CHAPTER RELEASE IS IMMINENT

    Gentlereaders, I'm happy to announce that chapter thirteen The Book of Water: The Heart of Winter is nearly completed. This chapter is one of the largest yet, topping out at over 17k words and by the time I'm finished writing it, it may top out over 20k words. Hopefully you'll find it as fun to read as I had writing it. I had honestly only planned on writing about 10k for this chapter, but before

I... am just waiting patiently for Reluctant Cyborg and Big Lie. Sigh. I come back after months and months and months and...

Sigh. Le sighhhhh....

1139126 My apologies, after this release I'm going to go back to my other stories including The Reluctant Cyborg. I've just found that trying to get back into Tinman's mindset extremely difficult to do. But the next chapter is about 60% complete, so I think I'll have something to post. Once again my apologies for the wait, and thank you for your patience.

I'm a bit disappointed to hear you're planning to move on to your other projects when this arc finishes, not having any interest in TCB stories myself. But hey, you're never going to please everyone with everything you do, and I can't really complain with the word count you've put out so far. I'll still be there when you return to it.

On the plus side, it does give me plenty of time to get around to going through the first story and finish putting up tropes, as well as finishing the reorganization. Hopefully without burning myself out this time!

Looking at the stats, it seems to have sent a respectable amount of traffic your way. With any luck there's some scope to improve on that when I next work on the page.

1139297 Well I have half the next chapter of The Reluctant Cyborg written, I just need to buckle down and finish it. Most likely I'll continue thinking and plotting the next story arc, while working on my TCB stuff.

Most likely I'll drop some of the unpublished fluff that I've been using for reference to hold my readers over. Thank you for all the work you've put into the TV Tropes page. I think it's been responsible for over half my traffic since you made it. Looking forward to seeing what you think of my next bunch of chapters.
