    The Economics of a Wasteland

    Well.

    This is a long overdue post, isn't it? Looking back, I honestly can't believe it's been five years since the last chapter released, and, to get to the point straight away, WEcon is not coming back.

    Wherein I admit I'm Terrible at Blogging Regularly

    I'm terrible at blogging regularly.

    Really, I am. I know this, and every time I break silence to say "this time will be different," a small part of me knows I can't keep that up. And on top of that I know that back in October I promised y'all Chapter 17 would be out in November. Clearly, that never happened. So let me clear the air on one thing, absolutely and definitively:

    Blogpost 6/26/2017 - Where the heck is Chapter 16?

    A perfectly justified question and a complicated answer. As a short answer, Chapter 16 has been delayed by a huge project that Pipistrelle had to take on for work. I've actually seen how much of her time it's been demanding of her, and seen her work through most weekends for the past several months. Perhaps I could have tried to release Chapter 16 in a state without her going through the

    Blogpost 4/10/17 - Breaking the Silence

    Alright, remember when I said that I have a bad habit of keeping quiet if I have nothing to report? Yeah, that kinda happened for a bit there. I got crazy busy IRL (and also maybe a bit too absorbed into NieR Automata), but I return with good news! Chapter 16's draft is complete, and editing has begun!

    Blogpost 2/13/17 - 3 Years of WEcon

    Holy shit, 3 years already. It's kind of amazing to me that I've managed to stick with this for as long as I have, and I have y'all to thank for it. Writing this story and seeing people actually enjoy it enough to talk about it in my comments section has been such an emotional rollercoaster, and I know it sounds cliche, but I really, truly cannot thank you guys enough for the joy you've given

Chapter 12 Status · 6:00pm Dec 9th, 2015

So... Chapter 12. TL;DR is that Chapter 12 draft is nearly finished, and I'm hoping to get it out before Christmas. Because I'm me, I feel the need to explain myself, especially since this has taken longer than my usual schedule of a chapter about every other month.

I had always kinda planned on taking a bit of a break here, but the news that Fallout 4 was coming made me change my plans. I wanted to dive in and have the draft finished before November 10th. Needless to say, this didn't happen. I hit a few different walls, but each of them were mostly just a new form of writers' block for me. Also the usual paralyzing fear of "what happens if people don't care about what happens now?"

So there was a period there of Fallout, a period of Final Fantasy 14 stuff, Thanksgiving and Halloween, and a lot of PromptAnon being on my ass almost daily about trying to get something done (which I can never thank him enough for). But at last I got a breakthrough, and I finally got myself excited. That was a week and a half ago, and since then the chapter has gone from almost nothing to about 2/3 of the way drafted. I expect there'll be some overhauls needed, but things are finally back on track, and I hope to release Chapter 12 before Christmas.

Once again, sorry for the delays in this (and in the replies to comments, which are coming soon after I post this update), and I hope y'all enjoy Chapter 12.
