I swear I'm not trying to make everything last-minute. I swear the world is trying to make sure I have to do everything last-minute.

This is... a major chapter for the 'verse.
This is one of the big things. Something that's been in the master plan since the first day.
This is probably going to get a lot of people mad at me.

I also posted a new chapter on Anchor Foal today, but as promised, that story won't get a post charge until/unless it updates in September. This one, however, gets to join it for a double-update Sunday. And if we're very lucky, there may be at least one more update on something before the e...

As promised, there's no additional post charge for any new chapters which appear on this particular story in August. I just wanted to put an update notice up for the few who might see it here first.

I made it, at least for my time zone. I made it by a pretty narrow margin -- but I made it. The hoped-for July update schedule is complete.
Please don't ask me about anything for the first week of August.

It wound up being the shortest chapter in the story's history -- which, given that it's this story, meant it still came in at over five thousand words. But if I did my job right, then some of them are meaningful ones, and the Wild Mass Guessing page on TVTropes just might see a new entry or two.
If I have the strength, I'll try to m...

Four notes.
#1. As promised in my blog post, this counts as a single Patreon charge.
#2. I'm an idiot.

I actually wanted to have this one up to close out May, but got stalled somewhat.

As promised, it's up before the end of Wednesday -- and as also said, there's no charge on this one, because if I hadn't had to stop on Sunday, there was a chance both chapters would have gone up at once.

2016-04-21 22:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostBefore I put the next story up (hopefully by Tuesday/Wednesday), everyone should examine the exact wording and numeration of their patronage. I'd really rather not hit any individual with something they're not set up for and didn't want to do, and if anyone neglected to cap off their numbers, the time to edit is now.
Or, put another way: on Tax Desperation Day in the States, make sure you have all your receipts in order.
