So, after the stress of the public release and the response to it, my general life problems – being threatened with eviction by my grandmother over the police prosecuting my aunt's boyfriend for threatening to stab me – things didn't go so great this last week.

And then I caught something. Yesterday, Saturday, was one long coughing fit with a headache that felt like my brain was three sizes too big for my skull.

I'll get a chapter up later today, and hopefully one tomorrow. But I can't promise the latter.

As ever, thanks for the support and I hope to start doing better soon. I remain overjoyed that there are so many people who care so much about the story to be here.

Note: The eviction crap has been resolved. It's just what was causing me my stress of late. My aunt still randomly throws flack my way over it though, and denies any wrong doing on his part. 'He's a kind soul. He was just drunk. He didn't mean it.' Etc.

Ayo wtf. Get better soon 🙏 As funny as it is to be one of those fanfic authors who say something like "I just survived a flood and then a mass shooting, then got covid, then survived a stroke, so the chapter's an hour late and unbeta'd, but here it is", uh, don't do that. Stay healthy and sane, please. Seriously, another person I'm a Patreon of survived a stroke (from SB too) and another has had COVID or something bad for weeks now. Two actually, on that latter one. I need to be a patron of at least one author who can take a little me time and learn how to not immediately burn out when a health/etc issue happens. Cause jeez guys

I hope that I am speaking for us all when I say that you life comes before some story. God, Elwyn! Sort your problems and recover! We'll wait!

I think that you have every right to take some time off after that. Don't wreck yourself on our account, a few more days of wait won't kill anyone.

She is gaslighting you. Set boundaries straight with her and divert your attention to something pleasurable. It's Sunday ffs. Don't waste your time on toxic family members. I know it personally. Best way to deal with them is to ignore energetic vampires

You have right to get a break ;). From what I have seen readers only hate when author disappears on them without a word. You also don't owe use explanation what's going wrong with your life if you feel uncomfortable with sharing it (unless you just want to vent with people who won't jugde you). Remember, Patreon exist first and foremost to support you as an author not to just get chapters we will get either way via SB. By the way what's the deal with public release? Aren't you already releasing on SB?

I haven’t kept up with the public release since subbing. Are people not understanding political realities again?

Hey don't be afraid to take a break, take care of yourself first. We can wait.

Take a break if you need to. Hope things get better soon!

Wow you truly are a fan fiction author, I newer thought I'd see one of these crazy stories in real time

Aw man that's rough :( Glad your eviction stuff has been resolved, that's awful to go through. Take as long as you feel you need. Also genuinely, fk some of the people on writing boards, sometimes I feel like they actively would prefer if nothing got written at all if it doesn't follow their headcannon of how it "should" go.

I'm aware she's gaslighting me; the problem, of course, is that she's successfully gaslit my grandmother.

One of the problems is that part of what makes me feel good about myself is writing, so failing to get chapters out is an immense mood crash. I am better off, mentally, burning at both ends and getting something out than failing to do so. Down that path leads dark things that I'd rather not relive again.

Pretty much, yes. A few specific people seemed to believe that the Rebels achieving their war aims somehow meant they were 'losing' the war since Lorna and Liam stopped them gutting the royalists. Maximalist, unconditional surrender only, types.

You know, maybe it's a good thing that everyone is so incensed about the end of the war, as that means that you got them invested in Gwen's vengeful POV that wants to see wrongs righted. Maybe take comfort that if it were a true disappointment for people they just wouldn't comment at all.
