Chapter not coming out this friday · 6:53am Jul 2nd, 2012
Ok, now two things are very clear to me now that the chapter is progressing: I won't have enough time to work on the fic to release it this friday, and the next chapter is NOT the last one. Read on for explanations, but that's the TL;DR version.
For the first one. It was my brother's birthday yesterday (technically two days ago since it's past midnight). I had no time to work on it. Also, my neighborhood lights a huge firework disply on July 3rd instead of the 4th, and it also happens to be my dad's birthday on the 3rd. A couple of our friends were going to spend one night over to light fireworks with us, but it turns out that two of my uncles are going to spend 2 to 3 nights over, and we'll be spending time with them during the day. I won't have very much alone time during this.
Now for the second thing. It seems that I'm VERY bad at gauging chapter lengths. I originally planned the fic to be 3 chapters, then I extended it to 5. Now, it was planned to be 6, but it's probably going to be 7, possibly 8 (giving myself some leeway since I've been sooooooo wrong lately).
As a result of these two things, give me an extra week to 2 weeks. I need to finish the rough drafts of the rest of the fic before I can start work on editing, revising (MAJOR revisions are done on each chapter. The first drafts are more of an outline than a story.), proofreading, last revisions and edits, and publication.
Ok
Now we play the waiting game....
