No Chapter, Edited Chapter and 8.47 Preview
If that title confused you, it's very simple. There is NO CHAPTER TODAY.
I am writing the edited chapter that Barbara Clark will be working on. It should only, hopefully take a week, and you'll get the chapter at random. It's looking like a good one so far...
But while I was streaming (I stream-write chapters, if you forgot), I wrote the opening to another chapter and...promptly decided to change to another perspective. Because the other perspective I am writing will benefit from editing more.
So here's 6,000 words of what will probably be the next published chapter! If you want to read it, below, feel free. Did any of that confuse you? It's very simple. Uh...ask someone in the comments to explain.
Back to writing. Look forwards to a strong edited chapter and understand there's no chapter today! Aside from the teaser for next chapter.
I'm not confusing. You're confusing.

I’ll keep saying it: Don’t worry about delays man you’re basically the terminator of web serials. No one *should* be able to make good quality, consistently released, and lengthy writing and yet here you are knocking it out of the park month after month. Even a “I’m just not feeling it this week” is fine as I’m constantly worried you’re going to die of exhaustion.
So good! So so good! I can't wait!
Yinahs back legs are bone not ceramic. Correct me if I’m wrong.
You’re wrong. They are ceramic. The back half of her body is a golem, not a skeleton.
i get my fix.
So to my understanding: Pirate started one perspective and switched to another; believing that this new perspective would benefit more from the editing. These 6,000 words are from the first perspective that Pirate started and will complete after finishing the second perspective that will be edited. So the next chapter will be an extension of these 6,000 words. I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
This is quack!
What's a "burr"????
Pirate started to write a chapter (the one provided as an attachment in this post). Pirate then changed their mind and started writing a different chapter on twitch. This second chapter is going to be professionally edited, a process which will probably take about a week. Today's update is postponed as Pirate is working right now at this very moment to finish this second chapter before sending it to the editor. We may or may not be able to see this unedited chapter at some point before the next update or next week. We may need to wait until the chapter is edited and released. I hope this cleared everything up.
scratch that. After rereading pirates post I have realized that everything I said was wrong.
This duck is having major withdrawal symptoms, but a bit of word-crack is better than nothing!
Could someone explain this like I'm a duck?
I think Pirate wrote the wrong chapter, so they're giving us a piece of the right one? Or the wrong one, more likely.
I like how the opening section of a pirateaba chapter is still longer than 90% of web serial chapters out there.
