Going to miss posts this week
Added 2021-09-07 02:48:52 +0000 UTCHey all!
short version: no chapter Wednesday and Friday. please take my deepest apologies, and know that I don’t do this lightly.
long version: I was carrying Flora and tripped. I’m now concussed, and worse, she’s got a minor skull fracture. We’re in the hospital now, waiting for the pediatric neurosurgeo. so yeah, shit has hit the fan badly. I have the chapters - I run a backlog to be able to bulldoze these problems - but this one is just too large and I might not even be at my computer all week. That, and I sadly want to focus on flora and making sure she’s ok.
I’m really sorry. This isn’t the level of service or commitment that I want to offer you all, and I’ll try to find some way to make it up to all of you.
cheers, see you all Monday.

Thanks for letting us all know, but take care of Flora and yourself first.

2021-09-09 08:03:46 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need tbh, your health and that of your daughter is much more important and we can wait patiently. Best wishes and hope everything will turn out well.

2021-09-08 17:27:02 +0000 UTCNever joined Patreon before but have been following your story for a while and wanted to join just to say I really hope you and your family are well. Take your time and concentrate on what’s important - your fans will wait!
Charles Simon
2021-09-08 16:22:36 +0000 UTCOh no! I'm so sorry! What's far more important is to take care of yourself and of Flora. Get yourselves healthy, we'll wait.

Nick
2021-09-08 01:47:01 +0000 UTCI doubt any of us are going to grab pitchforks with your daughter in such a state. Get better soon! Bus l best wishes to the little one.
Shindu
2021-09-07 23:44:06 +0000 UTCThanks for the notice and don’t worry about missing a week. As much as we are all looking forward to reading more of the story, it’s completely fine and normal to take a break after an accident like that. Hope you are both okay and feel better soon.
Dandark
2021-09-07 21:36:07 +0000 UTCThere are far worse excuses for missing an update than "dealing with my infant daughter's skull fracture and complications." I don't think any reasonably sane person would fault you for taking all the time you need to manage that crisis. I wish you both a speedy recovery.
Spectacular
2021-09-07 21:06:45 +0000 UTCI wish you and your daughter a swift recovery.
Cirvante
2021-09-07 20:30:59 +0000 UTCI hope everything works out
Matt
2021-09-07 20:26:43 +0000 UTCJeez screw the chapters I hope you and Flora are alright! I would take a t least 2 weeks to a month off.
MrAcerulez
2021-09-07 20:21:01 +0000 UTCRegardless of the emergency situation: timely communication and consistent quality product is why you get my money. I allways want more mangos and less cliffs right this second, but reality and murphy allways have a say. Take time, get better, majority of us trust ya and want you writing.

Selkie
2021-09-07 20:02:39 +0000 UTCMy wife and I are both vaccinated, but Flora getting Covid is a real risk
Selkie
2021-09-07 20:01:06 +0000 UTCI legit think this is the first time I've unexpectedly missed a post. Every other "miss" was a break announced in advance
Selkie
2021-09-07 20:00:17 +0000 UTCFamily (and your health) First. No apologies needed for that. Hope you both get well soon, especially Flora!! (Have 2 little girls myself, so that punched me right in the feels)
Israel Gross
2021-09-07 19:57:07 +0000 UTCthank you for the notice, few writer i follow do them. Good luck on yours healing, take all the time you need we can wait.
Le Garlantézec
2021-09-07 18:24:07 +0000 UTCOh my god. I really hope you doing better now. Both of you. My deepest sympathies, and I will be praying for you and little Flora. I don't usually do that, but I really mean it that the well-being of you and your family is important to me. Your writing is the reason for it, but the absence of story will not take that away. Please get well soon, and take all the time you need. Again, my deepest sympathies.
Quintuscus
2021-09-07 16:21:52 +0000 UTCDude. We appreciate the notice, but that is nothing to apologize for. Take care of your family. Don't worry about us. We'll be here.

2021-09-07 14:09:36 +0000 UTCSelkie, you are one of my favorite authors and I love you but if you even dared to focus on anything other than your daughter right now I would smack you seven days from Sunday as my Grandma always says. We clear.
WANDERING LOST

2021-09-07 13:42:48 +0000 UTCSelkie - we have a new baby as well (just about 9 months). She had a cold and I wasn't able to focus on anything for a week. Take ALL THE TIME YOU NEED! I hope everything is alright for both of you, you're in our thoughts.
Collin Straka
2021-09-07 13:33:17 +0000 UTCWe have a ten month old; I know how scary that must be. I hope that everything turns out fine.
Joe Smith
2021-09-07 12:47:04 +0000 UTCIt's much more important that you and Flora get better. Wish you and your baby speedy recovery!

Artazil
2021-09-07 09:33:53 +0000 UTCThere is no need to apologize as accidents can happen and this is a serious one. Concentrate on your and Flora's health and take as much time as needed. I hope that you both will completely recover soon.
Seivers

Alexandra
2021-09-07 08:59:56 +0000 UTCLike everyone else so far, your priority should be on your health and Flora’s. Chapters can wait a while
Tonberry

Pltergeist
2021-09-07 05:41:14 +0000 UTCWhen your kid's in the hospital with something as important as their skull cracked, me thinks we can forgive you for having no time for anything else. Seriously it's fine, best of luck to your baby making a full recovery!
Aclys

Max
2021-09-07 05:13:36 +0000 UTCOh no. Best of luck to you and your daughter. May your recoveries be swift and complete. Head injuries are serious, but young children recover better from them than anyone else. May you both feel better soon.

just_a_potato
2021-09-07 03:37:38 +0000 UTCLike yes, we love getting chapters, but just because extenuating circumstances come up and prevent that, doesn't mean you have to put yourself down. Feel bad for not providing the content we pay for? Sure, that's fine and normal. Put yourself down because of it? Bah, silly Selkie
Sean Kenny
2021-09-07 03:33:47 +0000 UTC"And I sadly want to focus on flora" No! Bad Selkie!! That's not sad, that's the proper thing to do! Don't put yourself down for focusing on Flora's health and well-being over providing chapters/content this week! <3
Sean Kenny
2021-09-07 03:31:29 +0000 UTCBest wishes!
Luna
2021-09-07 03:31:12 +0000 UTCHope you recover well, and that Flora gets through without issue. No hard feelings

Mikemysterio13
2021-09-07 03:21:52 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself and family. Though it is really nice to know you have this level of passion for your writing that you feel bad about missing posts even for something as serious as having to worry about your injured child. We appreciate how much you care about us and your writing but take care of what's most important first.
