No Chapter Today
Added 2021-06-15 16:22:15 +0000 UTCThere will be no chapter today. As you may know, today is the planned edited chapter for Diana Gill to review, edit, and post her feedback on.
My inclination after having finished it is to give it straight to her, and present you with both editions when she is done. She will give her notes and letter, and I will post that as usual.
Just not the first draft today. The reason for this is simple: it's the kind of chapter I only get one shot at, and the subject matter is highly important to get right, if that's possible at all. Even if you would read it, it is doubtful you'd want to read it twice. I would rather give you the best version, especially if there are flaws or places to improve.
Some readers read it live and they are prohibited from spoiling anything, but a few had extreme negative reactions to it, which is quite understandable. All things considered, that makes me feel not publishing the chapter is the rare best move.
It will come out, but this is a void day and I apologize. However, if it's for the best, then I won't regret delaying it. It was Pisces' chapter, and you will get to know what happens when the revisions are finished. The best version possible, hopefully.
Chapter as usual on Saturday, continuing the inn storyline. See you then,

This is me. Listened first. Getting up to date with the online story after not realizing it existed for well almost a whole year. Well, now I’ve been caught up for the last few months. A weekly wait is nothing compared to what I inadvertently did to myself.

2021-06-19 03:00:56 +0000 UTCSo if the edited chapter isn't done by Saturday does that mean we're getting the inn chapter first? Or will the inn chapter be pushed back until the edited chapter is finished?

2021-06-18 16:41:59 +0000 UTCI’m supportive of whatever makes the most sense for you writing and the story. Waiting just means I’ll be even more excited when we do get the chapter

2021-06-18 16:26:09 +0000 UTCYou realize this is her job right? Trying to maximize quality, make it more appropriate for sale is her main goal. Jobs take time. You could always go wait for the books to release on Amazon if you do not like the process of getting to read the novels free, rough and in need of editing. Wanting to improve quality and efficiency is admirable and deserves support. Not spoiled children who think this is “their” story. It’s hers. If she wants to take 3 months off to build a new arc, to shuffle things, to build info boards and cross reference all skills and spells introduced for future engagements? That’s her decision. There’s this prevalent belief among these new entitled people, that their thoughts matter in other people’s business and decisions. It is incorrect and embarrassing for you, whether you know it or not, saying stuff like this. Get over yourself. Be supportive, offer criticisms on plots you like or don’t, but don’t think you have any control kiddo. It’s funny, I’m actually in the process this year teaching my 7 year old this. “Just because your opinion, your thoughts and feelings on something, like how a toy someone owns should be used. I know it seem really really important to you, it does not mean you get to suggest others should change for you. It does not mean you should tell them to do it your way. The choice is not yours, it’s the choice of who owns it.” Is literally what I told my son yesterday. The difference between him and you is he was a bigger man, and more mature by apologizing for making such an entitled error.

2021-06-17 19:39:05 +0000 UTCI will be interested to see the edited chapter, I have never read an edited one as I don’t have the patience and as much as I love this can’t read 2 variations on the same chapter in quick succession. I’ve always been surprised by people’s comments on minor errors/discrepancies, as much as I’m ocd-ish I couldn’t write this story in a billion years so don’t feel critiquing by me is ok.
Martin Page
2021-06-17 06:36:16 +0000 UTCYou think that wait is bad, try having discovered it through the audiobook, and feeling a need to wait for the next audible release to continue the story. That narrator is just so goooooood

2021-06-17 01:54:18 +0000 UTCDay 56111, I think I may have done it. I have created a machine that should be able to predict and write the next chapter. My wait is over!

Donald Smith
2021-06-16 23:23:06 +0000 UTCSaturday's chapter will be a continuation of the inn. This one will get posted when edits are done ... and we're not sure when that will be, as yet.
2021-06-16 23:03:55 +0000 UTCI can smell your entitledness from 2 blocks away
OrangeBasket
2021-06-16 21:04:07 +0000 UTCI came back to see if someone answered this. Alas, I’m wounded this question you asked, “how long the other editor took.” went unanswered.
Jamie Messier
2021-06-16 17:29:22 +0000 UTCWas thinking she was talking about his being tossed in with the Roshal slavers and what that content is not his death.. eh yes?
Jamie Messier
2021-06-16 17:24:06 +0000 UTCDay 148, there is no end in sight.
Jeremy Russell
2021-06-16 14:47:23 +0000 UTCI am also confused. Maybe the twitch subscribers can enlighten us?

2021-06-16 14:34:55 +0000 UTCDay 96, the chapter delay has made me lose the sense of time.
Federico
2021-06-16 12:41:59 +0000 UTCpossible controversy in art......wow
Peter Jørgensen
2021-06-16 12:33:45 +0000 UTCOh, so getting the last few chapters early was alright, but a delay due to possible controversy and to hit the highest possible quality is unacceptable? Get over yourself, it's probably the one week of the year we won't get a full novel of content.
2021-06-16 09:32:14 +0000 UTCSo the chapter being released on Saturday is not this one? I'm much confused. When will this chapter be released then? The world is chaos!!!!

2021-06-16 08:48:40 +0000 UTCregret delaying it..i don´t support this path

2021-06-16 07:10:46 +0000 UTCI support this path ❤

2021-06-16 06:09:32 +0000 UTCIf Pisces dies I fear I myself will die
2021-06-16 03:32:22 +0000 UTCBest move imo, I lack the impulse control and inclination to read a chapter twice. Better to post the edited chapter with the update delayed. If you go the full time editor route, this would be the way imo. Although I’m still not convinced an editor for new chapters is worthwhile, sic them on book one.

2021-06-16 02:11:56 +0000 UTCI hope Pisces is okay

2021-06-15 17:43:52 +0000 UTCI mean yah the content was harsher then normal but they divergences were hit and miss

2021-06-15 17:33:43 +0000 UTCHaving read it live i’m very thankful your treating the content with the respect and care it deserves! I really appreciate it and I’m super glad
Tilley
2021-06-15 17:32:52 +0000 UTCI mostly had a reaction because characters motivations and values flip flopped in the same chapter
Daniel nadeau
2021-06-15 17:32:27 +0000 UTCI wish for the story to have only the best of chapters, and if you feel like this is the right choice, then I support your decision all the way, a 100%! A delay won't affect my enjoyment at all when I will eventually read it. I love your style and I love the world you created. Patience is a virtue! :)
Ignat Remizov
2021-06-15 17:28:57 +0000 UTCI would read and re-read it like I’ve done with all your published works on the wandering inn. But having seen parts of the 1.5 stream I understand your decision.
2021-06-15 17:16:28 +0000 UTCAll that comes to mind is "This is gonna be epic!". Every single time there has been a chapter delay for quality/editing reasons, I have not been disappointed.
Philip Pleiss
2021-06-15 17:07:32 +0000 UTCUnderstood! *bites fingernails* The live readers had better stick to the prohibition! Just in case though, gonna vamoose till Sat on the double

2021-06-15 16:52:48 +0000 UTCI assumed that in K chapter caravan's djinni was sent after one Flos freed and Pisces will escape.
2021-06-15 16:45:05 +0000 UTCWell the good news is that based on the AN in the chapter, both will come out at the same time.
Derpfen
2021-06-15 16:39:36 +0000 UTCEveryone assuming a Pisces chapter, but that would mean that we're being left on the cliffhanger that is Belavierr versus Mrsha. Honestly more interested in that than Pisces at the moment.
Hursha
2021-06-15 16:37:47 +0000 UTCI’m assuming the it will involve slavery considering where Pisces is. So yeah take all the time you need to get it right.
2021-06-15 16:37:11 +0000 UTCPisces deserves the highest quality
Anthony Arredondo
2021-06-15 16:32:51 +0000 UTCSo Saturday we can expect this Pisces chapter, or a different unedited one? Can't remember how long the other editor took.
John Koor
2021-06-15 16:32:14 +0000 UTCNo problem at all. Judging by the previously edited chapter the quality goes up a lot, but it takes a lot longer to get done. The challenge is to strike a balance between quantity and quality.
2021-06-15 16:27:48 +0000 UTCVery thankful that things like Patreon give you the flexability to make a call like this, Aba, and follow your creative instincts. Fully trust your discernment and reason for the delay, too. That said: you are a MEAN person and I will NEVAR forgive you for creating this void!! >:{
