Hello!

Real talk. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is coming out in a month (11th of March) and I really, really want to just play it for like three days straight. So I would like to take 11-14th of March off. This would mean that 1 Drip-Fed chapter and 3 Gamer chapter wouldn't be released.

Normally, I wouldn't take days off for this, this is what I have the buffer for, but the current arc has been going on for so long (its over 400k words now) that I feel like I deserve a little bit of a mid-arc break...

I don't feel so deserving that I am going to just take it though. I also don't know if I will actually slave away at Ori like I am currently expecting. Since you are kind of my employers, I decided to just put things up to a vote.

Its anonymous and no judgements will be had regardless of what you vote~

Wish you a nice day!

[PS: The Drip-Fed cover art is still being made. I got a sketch recently and its looking pretty good already~)

Quick Devil’s Advocate time! While I fully support you, and will be more than happy to give you whatever time off you need to be a happy, healthy Fun, I have some points I want to ramble about because I’m confused. Firstly, is there some reason NOT to use the buffer? Is this not the literal, express purpose of the buffer? To be a metaphorical silo to stockpile chapters for when you can’t or don’t want to grow them? Is there any real difference between taking a few days off because of writer’s block and taking a few days off to play a game you’re excited about? Again, I’m fine with breaking the status quo, but is there a reason?

The main purpose of the buffer is actually in case I get sick. I didn't take days off when I played Three Houses recently, instead taking some chapters off the buffer. Its really just the scope of the current arc, being unlikely to end before reaching 500k words, that makes me want to take a mid-arc break. This feels about the best time to do so.
