    I am a slooooow writer

    This final draft is diverging a little from the previous one, so I need to rework some chapters (especially in this middle chunk). Going to break with the weekly posting structure and start putting the chapters up when they're done. The next one still needs a bit more work, so look for it sometime this week or next--sorry for the delays, but the weekly/biweekly schedule is starting to get a bit

    One more week

    Had an extremely busy week and haven't had time to give a final polishing pass to the next chapter, so I'm going to delay it till next sunday. Apologies! We'll resume the biweekly pace next week.

    I'm considering a longer break near the end of act 2 to get all of act 3 polished so I can return to the weekly posting schedule for the final set of chapters.

    As always, thanks for reading!

    New posting schedule

    I liked having the extra time to do final proofreading and minor rewrites so much that I'm going to make it a regular thing. I'll post chapters biweekly from here on out. There are still a couple later chapters that I'm not super pleased with, so I might take a little extra time once we get closer to them to tweak them more.

    Thanks for reading!

    Going to be busy with social events for the next two weekends, so I'll be taking a short break on the chapter postings. Chapters will resume going up on the 27th of August.

    Thanks for reading!

    Thicker Than Water is a go!

    After a lot longer than it really should have taken, I'm finally at a point where I can start publishing Thicker Than Water. I plan to put up about one chapter a week, although we're starting off with two because they're so closely intertwined. There are 27 chapters and an epilogue in total, at a little less than 200k words. I'm still tweaking things here and there so the final wordcount might go

Over a hundred followers! Thanks a bunch, guys, I really appreciate it. Apologies for the slow update pace; it's a combination of my writing speed, some nasty galactic dynamics and spectroscopy assignments, and an NOAO proposal. I hope to have new chapters up by mid-late November.

Congrats, brother! And no worries on the slow pace. Once you get something down, shoot it to me! :pinkiehappy:

You deserve more, but I am happy for you.

>.> This makes me feel bad. You, with Age of Wings and Steel/Love, Surgar, and Sails, have only 15-20 more followers than I do, and I only have one story that's a crackfic that got me 30-40 of those.
If you ask me, you deserve more.

it's not your writing speed, its that you took the time to write a 16k words story on the side:twilightangry2:. I'm sure it'll speed up now.:pinkiehappy:
