No Chapter Today
There 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,

So 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?
I’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
I want that inn story more.
I 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.
You 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
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.
Day 56112 the machine didn’t work. Madness gRoWs!
Day 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!
Day 96, the chapter delay has made me lose the sense of time.
Day 148, there is no end in sight.
So 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!!!!
I am also confused. Maybe the twitch subscribers can enlighten us?
regret delaying it..i don´t support this path
Oh, 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.
I support this path ❤
If Pisces dies I fear I myself will die
Was thinking she was talking about his being tossed in with the Roshal slavers and what that content is not his death.. eh yes?
Best 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.
I hope Pisces is okay
Fingers and Toes crossed for Erin going all Ripley on the big bad Witch "Get away from her you Bitch!"
its going to be a gut punch of a chapter
Noooooooooo
A little bit sad, but also HYPE!
You do you, I'll still follow.
I mean yah the content was harsher then normal but they divergences were hit and miss
Having 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
I mostly had a reaction because characters motivations and values flip flopped in the same chapter
I 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! :)
I 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.
All 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.
Understood! *bites fingernails* The live readers had better stick to the prohibition! Just in case though, gonna vamoose till Sat on the double
[sound of a breaking heart] sure no problem, I had to work anyway

I assumed that in K chapter caravan's djinni was sent after one Flos freed and Pisces will escape.
Everyone 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.
Well the good news is that based on the AN in the chapter, both will come out at the same time.
I’m assuming the it will involve slavery considering where Pisces is. So yeah take all the time you need to get it right.
Pisces deserves the highest quality
So Saturday we can expect this Pisces chapter, or a different unedited one? Can't remember how long the other editor took.
I came back to see if someone answered this. Alas, I’m wounded this question you asked, “how long the other editor took.” went unanswered.
No 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.
Very 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!! >:{
:(
did you hear that? that was the sound of my hopes and dreams shattering
Pisces chapter? Pisces chapter!!! oh gosh, I'm excited for this.
