This was a fascinating experiment with regular updating. (Yeah, I know, what a concept. ) I honestly don't know how some people can prep chapters weeks, months, years in advance and just sit on them until it's time to hit Publish. The anticipation to get these up killed me when the roughs were finished the day before. Seriously, how do you guys do it?

But yeah, latest tale from the Oversaturated World's in the can. Thanks as always for reading.

I’m going to have to read all of them to understand this aren’t I?

Only required reading for this one should be Oversaturation and One Day I Found a Multiverse in My Pajamas.

If it helps any, the idea of writing a multi-chapter story on the fly - being unable to go back and shift things around to suit the overall product better and posting some chapters without knowing exactly how the rest of it'll go - seems just as amazing a feat to me. Heck, I occasionally wish I could do some rejigging to previous stories in a whole series.

Hmmm. Let's get all of these on the kindle then. It's not like I have ten other unfinished fanfics on there already...

Just saw this. I'm TERRIFIED I'll lose interest or get distracted or make a continuity error. I meant to start posting Pillars of Society by now. Scared.

You can't stop now! You didn't make it to "Cosmic!" You literally stopped one chapter short of completing the spectrum!

Oh goodness, having to put the whole thing out in a lump sum... For a short story that's only a few kilowords, sure, but the larger ones? Yeah, that's pretty imposing. I actually had to pivot a few times with Transmission Spectrum.

Honestly, the fear of distraction and waning interest was part of why I held myself to a schedule on this one. Deadlines can be a fantastic motivating force.

I see your NASA post and raise you another.

You mean to tell me my 2005 physics textbook was wrong?!

Welp. Guess you learn something new every day.

I really should get back to the Oversaturated World. It's been a while since I read the first story, and every day I don't catch up, it seems like there's another one for the list.

As noted in an earlier comment, this one has a low barrier to entry. It'd be a good way to get back on the Bacon Horse.

It does look interesting, so I might skip ahead a bit to it, but I generally like to read in chronological or publishing order.
