    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 11 Status Update · 6:41pm Sep 14th, 2015

Right, so I know I'm already behind on this. If I were following my schedule, Chapter 11 would already be out (or be in editing and on its way to you by the end of the week). Unfortunately, this one's been particularly tricky, if not particularly long. I'm about 2/3 of the way done with the draft right now, hoping to finish tonight or tomorrow and kick it off to editing. I won't lie, there's been some procrastination involved, along with a lot of agonizing over how to handle a specific scene. Luckily that scene is finished, and the rest of it has been moving along since.

In summary, I'm not dead, and I really do apologize for the delay here. Wasteland Economics will continue soon!

In other news, I've been mulling this over lately, and I think I'll be updating my cover art. Enough critiques have been leveled at it that I feel it should be replaced, but I'd like to see what people here think, as well.

And in final news, Friday was my birthday, turning the ripe age of 28. I celebrated by taking the day off work and playing a ton of X-Wing miniatures (which by the way is such a fun game). But I also got a wonderful gift, too!

My sweetheart Tofu gave me this vector of Alloy, as well as commissioning PencilGuy for a NSFW thing, but I won't post that here. You can find it on PencilGuy's tumblr, which you should follow because he's a great artist.

And JetWave did a wonderful coloring of his earlier "Palloydin" sketch. I'll add it to this post when it goes up on his blog or dA. Totally blew me out of the water. Thanks again man!
EDIT: Here it is!
