    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 6/26/2017 - Where the heck is Chapter 16? · 2:08pm Jun 26th, 2017

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 second pass, but honestly I put a great deal of stock on what PromptAnon and Pipistrelle both do to improve my writing, and I guarantee you that WEcon would not be anywhere close to the state it is in now without them.

So the good/bad news is that Chapter 16 is still not quite ready for primetime. When I talked to Pip yesterday, she was relieved that the work project that had consumed her time is finally winding down, and will likely finish in the next week or two. So that's the timeline I'm looking at for how much longer Chapter 16 will have to sit on the shelf.

All that said, I have not been idle in the interim. Seeing as I realized this would be an extended downtime, I've been working on Chapter 17, prepping that to go into the editing queue after Chapter 16, and while I haven't been as diligent as I'd like on the draft of 17, I can confidently say that I will have the draft of Chapter 17 ready to edit by the time Chapter 16 is released, and I'll likely have started on Chapter 18 by that point.

I have to sincerely apologize to everyone for how much of a mess this year has been to WEcon thus far, but we're finally looking to get back on track. Thank you all for your patience!

So more or less in a few days chapter 16 will be posted?
