    Soon......

    After taking a week off of writing, I finally finished another chapter of snek pone. Once I finish editing, and my prereaders give the OK, it'll be posted! :D Hope the wait didn't kill too many of you. :P

    Future Updates

    Evening all! Just wanted to clue y'all in a bit on the future of Genesis, and any updates for it. I am currently away from home for the week (I managed to snag a ticket to E3) so the odds of me updating this week are fairly slim. However, once I return home, I will be working on a once every 3-4 days release schedule. I've set a goal for myself for this story, and I fully intend to reach it.

    New Project (I'm not dead yet!)

    Hello to all of my readers out there! (as few of you as there may be) I apologize for the lack of updates, I have tried my hardest these past few months to get something presentable that I can give to y'all, but unfortunately I have been unable to get anything that I am happy with. (the hours of staring at a doc with nothing changing doesn't help) Without sounding like I'm whining or trying to

    Late release

    The next chapter of FYB will be posted by Friday, almost a week later than I had planned. I unintentionally burned myself out a bit writing almost 20,000 words for my other story in one sitting, and as a result I haven't gotten much work done since. I've managed to sit down and force out a few hundred words, and now that I've started it's getting a bit easier to continue. I apologize for the

Future Content 2 · 5:27pm Dec 29th, 2016

I'm making two copies of the same blog post for my two active stories, because I don't know if you can/how to tag more than one story in a blog.

So, for future updates of my stories, I've kind of wondered what any of y'all that follow them thought of my rate/quality of updates. My current rate is looking like each story will update on alternating weeks, or each story will update every other week. That is if I stay at my current rate (which I've been more productive than normal lately) If that's working for y'all, I have no problems keeping up this pace and pumping out chapters of about 10k words every week.

The other option, that I'd like to present for your consideration, is I could release shorter chapters, but they would release more often (maybe one to two updates a week for each story, so 2-4 updates a week). Again, that's if I keep working at my current pace. If I were to do this, you'd get content more often, but the chapters would be shorter (2-3k words each, max). This wouldn't be my favored option, but I could make it work.

I'm asking y'all, because I fell kind of bad that I don't update that often. I tend to draw an outline of events I want to happen in each chapter, and continue writing until everything has happened, I then sleep on the chapter before reading back through it and changing anything I don't agree with. The only difference with shorter chapters, is I'd write the same way, but less would happen in each chapter, so rather than having one big chapter hitting five events, I'll have five small chapters hitting one event. With this method I could have one chapter for each story released today, but if y'all feel I would be sacrificing quality for quantity, I'd have no problem holding back.

Feedback would be appreciated, and I hope y'all have a happy new year!

after trying to follow David Silver stories at his frantic rate of writing for a while, along with other stories, I can safely say that I prefer quality over quantity any day of the week.

4360394 I'd prefer that too, but at the same time I don't want people being upset over the lack of updates. I'm really just trying to find a middle ground that would make everyone as happy as possible.

4360432 for me the ideal for me, would be one very two weeks or so, there are other fics that I like reading in the meanwhile.

4360394 I second this
