    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

Blogpost 1/10/17 - Yeah, but where's Chapter 15?! · 2:36pm Jan 10th, 2017

Alright, alright, two blogposts in a row of reported delays is a kinda shitty way to start off the new year, but dammit I promised myself I'm going to give y'all weekly updates.

Unfortunately what I had believed to be allergies last week developed into a huge cold over the weekend, lasting just long enough to force me to cancel all of my weekend plans and basically grinding editing efforts to a crawl. The ball was in my court again last weekend to complete the changes suggested by my editors, and as I had expected, there were some pretty major ones. Two scenes were rewritten, and extra stuff added to others, and a whole new scene had to be added in. Or rather, it was always intended to be added, but what I'd had in the original draft was skeletal.

Good news is that I'm back to 100%, and finished those edits Sunday night, kicking it back to PA and Pipistrelle for round 2. Going off the initial comments, it looks like there isn't going to be another huge overhaul to this chapter, but I'll wait and see. This one is a doozy of a chapter, coming in at just over 10k words, and overall I'm really happy with how it's shaped up, and I'll deliver this one to you guys ASAP.
