An update regarding Beneath the Dragoneye Moons
Added 2020-11-24 18:42:12 +0000 UTCHey all!
As I've mentioned a few times, I'm expecting a baby soon!
Well, soon has turned into "Probably this week". I'll try to keep you all updated, but there's no telling if I'll be able to.
If I suddenly drop off the face of the planet, it's A) Because I'm in the hospital with baby, and B) I will post all the backlogged chapters. I promise.
However, once baby has shown up, I will probably reduce my posting rate to 3x a week for the first few months, just because baby will be eating up all my time. I'll try to post some bonus chapters whenever possible, and, well, last time I tried to post "only" 3 chapters a week I promptly failed, went to every other day, and two days later went to 5x a week. We'll see what happens.
In short, my promises, and feel free to hold my feet to the fire over them:
1) If I poof, I will post all the make-up chapters once I get back home.
2) My bare minimum will be 3x chapters a week.
3) If I discover I somehow can't be a parent and continue BTDEM (which I doubt, but you never know), I will not infinite hiatus. I will post the ending, and give you all closure. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT this will happen, but if I haven't posted anything in weeks, ping me relentlessly on discord until I do. No infinite hiatus. No poofing. Nada. This one's unlikely to happen.
On a different note, I apologize to my [Archmage] and [Master] supporters - you guys asked for a bonus chapter with Elaine's parent's reaction to her running away, and I'm not going to be able to deliver it this week. Too many other items are higher-priority, like taking the car to the seat certification to check that it's properly installed, and doing a major edit pass-through on the regular content. I haven't forgotten that I owe you all that chapter, and the moment I'm able to generate high-quality bonus content again, that's first on my list.
I'd like to thank all of your for your support and understanding at this time. Hey, its taken becoming a new parents to derail my posting schedule, and almost nothing short of that will be able to derail it again :)
Cheers, and thank you all,
Selkie
PS: I'm going to shamelessly @everyone on discord once my baby girl's born. Baby tax *might* be provided.

I sometimes forget authors have lives outside of their books and this took me by surprise. I hope you have your baby smoothly and send us them cute baby pics on discord soon. Take care Selkie

2020-11-25 04:19:40 +0000 UTCExactly this. Whether your little one is an easy one, or a colicky one that one day cried for 8 hours and you timed it and logged it all in a spreadsheet just to prove to your partner that you weren't crazy, take that 3 months (I may have had one of each). If you feel the need to write, add it to your backlog, but take a break from the stress of deadlines for a while. Also, lots of luck.

2020-11-24 18:48:32 +0000 UTC3 times a week is still 3 times more than most of the people I'm a patreon of, and for some it's even much higher.
