Okay, new chapter uploaded - but will wait for the next one to be ready to release them together. · 2:56am Sep 25th, 2017
Sorry if the system showed an update, yet there is nothing visual on the site.
The reason is, I uploaded chapter four - but I'll wait for chapter five to be ready so they are published together.
When ready, I'll update and have both chapters available.
May you have a nice day.
Why wait? Why not feed your readers chapters as they come out?

I think it has more to do with keeping schedules, to give my readers confidence in one's ability to stick to a schedule.
If I slip, I'll at least want to reassure them that the next date will in fact reward them for their patience.
I prefer to think of it as training - since I don't have neither publisher nor editor to help me when I get stuck - so if I do get stuck, I'll at least try to reward my readers for their patience while I get back on track.
However, your point is valid. I could in fact do it if I left myself off the hook when scheduling.
But that invites procrastination - which I do suffer - so I prefer to not tempt fate (and a dead fic) by it.
Perhaps in the future, when I finally managed to ingrain within myself to give constant output, then I'll release as I finish.
