Solstice Finale Delayed
Read the blog post for details, but I am going to write Epilogue as well and release it all at once. Current tally is over 70,000 words...aiming for Saturday. Thanks for your patience.

Do what you've gotta do for yourself. Relc rocks.
I like what you did there. I think I'm going to sign off my comments the same way around here from now on, just with someone still alive for Pirate to see so they get the feels trying to kill them off later, lol. Fothea rules!
I'll be happy with it when you are happy with it! Too bad we don't have 8-day Innworld weeks, then you could always have an extra day to sleep on things
Better to take your time and do it right, instead of rushing it and regretting it later. It is your story and therefore you are the captain of this ship.
That is fine. I do not mind saving a bigger chunk of reading for when the holidays start! Have a merry christmas and a happy new year!
Sounds like more heartbreak incoming. I feel pretty bad for Erin. She kinda got low key chewed out by everyone she knew, and the narrative voice, for being lazy all of volume 9. I never really saw it, she was productive in all her screen time and it had been established that direct global alarm announcements were counter productive to fighting gods. I was hoping karma would swing her way, and I’m still hoping the witch’s pact will ward off the Jesus flags Erin has been throwing since volume one. Homegirl has been sprinting since she delivered the not so good news. I don’t know man somebody throw the girl a bone somewhere because I’m pretty sure the Liscor block just lost way more levels and elite individuals than they got back, and another wrecked inn. Dang. Like a go fund me or something?
Jesus flags? They pray to her like any other living deity. Hasn't done much yet but no doubt it will be important in future arcs, it's pretty much a given with how important religion is to the overall storyline.
Its all good Aba. Have a good holiday after your writeup
rest well and take as long as you need my birthday is next month and no matter when it comes out it'll be great to read some new twi near my birthday.
Agree with the rest I prefer to wait and get something good then get something you're unsure about. The endings are what most people remember when they think back if something was good or bad, it's what makes people want more of the same.
Be well mate and if we have to wait until February, it's all cool. Just please no more deaths, i don't think i can handle any more sadness :)
Honestly, I can't imagine anyone not being patient enough to wait for your small delays. I'm relativwly certain an AI would take longer to pump out the same amount of content and it wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable.
why use few word, when many word do trick? why write for others, when others write for you?
Woah ... "currently" ...
Take your time Aba! Looking forward to it.
You breaking mi hart🤌(Italian noises). Happy holidays
Please take care of yourself, aba. And happy holidays to you!
No other web serial matches the wandering in for quality and frequency and depth of update. If you updated only once a month, it would still be fantastic (please do not update only once a month) , one of the things that I’ve always loved about this story is the obvious care and love that goes into the writing. I’d much rather you delay, a chapter, even multiple times, then release something that you don’t love
Mkay
Oh and Chapters 9.69+9.70=130,000 words. About the same length as Return of the King!!!
JRRT obsessively wrote and rewrote and rewrote and what did we get? A MASTERPIECE!! Give us a masterpiece even if it takes until February!
Take your time Pirate! Christmas and new year approach, and fresh minds write best, as you’ve learnt from your breaks. We have patience, we can wait
Noice. Christmas Eve marathon. Ehehhehhehheh
Rereading chapters all over the place. What I would love so much would be a Erin time-travel series. Imagine if she went back to the first day on Innworld, having lost everything. Epic genres colliding!! Sobs
The solstice is on Saturday!
Your health and happiness for the story matters more than some arbitrary deadlines. We’re fat ducks. We’ll keep.
Nooooooooooooo! Ya ok.
Take care of yourself first. All the joy and wonder follow from your heart, soul and creativity. But, first, you must exist. And, it's best if you are happy with your craft. So, no worries.
How dare you! Delaying your timeline? Just because you still produce 5x the content of anyone else I follow? :P Take your time, and we will still be here eagerly waiting.
Only 5x? Who are these godlike writers you follow that manage to write a whole fifth of Pirate's output?
it would be funny to get the last chapter on the 22. December.
It’s also my birthday, so that would be a nice present!
Take as long as it takes to get it done right! A good chapter in the future is a million times better than a mediocre chapter now.
Good luck! Looking forward to reading when it's ready, if you think it needs more work then we will wait!
Thank you for the update and seriously take as long as you need. You've certainly earned my trust as a reader and the Solstice event so far has led to some of the most memorable moments in my reading history to date. It actually is frustrating in that I am trying to get friends of mine to read a couple of million words to catch up so they can know the emotional impact some of these events have. Rest up and good hunting. If anything I am sorry you are eating into your own break.
Soy el único que se muere del miedo? Al leer que a algunos de sus lectores beta no le gustó este desenlace del volumen 9,me da un pánico.....
Oh fk no 🥲🥺😭😭 but looking forward to it
As always thank you for the updates and for taking the time to make sure we have spectacular things to read!
Well at least I'll be off and able to read it instead of running around at work.
Aww yeahhh end of the year read
Take all the time you need and then some.
Thanks for the update! I have no idea what happens... I'm not a better reader. Judging from the blog post though it looks like some people may have died.
It’s the end of an impactful volume, it’s to be expected.
Kind of fitting that friday is the winter solstice so the epilogue happening on saturday is a nice touch. That said dont forget to rest :)
it would be epic
Thank you very much, for writing, for telling us about the delay, and for taking your time instead of pressuring yourself too much. :)
Your work is always worth the wait. Looking like a great Christmas Gift. Thank you for your hard work.
We’re fine with the wait make sure to stay health. 1m
Me: "Oh no!" (reads current word count) "oh nevermind that makes sense, cool"
Go back to sleep :D
