Chapter Delay & Schedule Update (Patreon)

Some quick things:

1. Sorry for the sudden change, but the next chapter will have to be delayed until the 16th. Ran into the combo of being sick + busy. Everything should be fine going forward, though. Tomorrow I'll try to post a small Q&A answer thing (based on a survey I ran here a while back) to tide people over.

2. Side Story 2 will probably run past Chapter 12, but I don't want to keep people waiting too long for Book 5 to start. Current plan is to begin posting Book 5 concurrently with any Side Story 2 chapters past 12. If I'm calendar-ing correctly, that means Book 5 Chapter 1 comes out on...the 30th?

3. On the subject of Book 5, it's going well! Planning phase is finished (including a 20k word outline lol), and now I'm in the process of building up a chapter backlog. I'm definitely glad I split the original Book 5 into a Book 5 and 6, because the original version would have felt very rushed. Two books is plenty of room to tell all the story that's left.
