Previous Post There's nothing wrong with being early, especially with a story this fun. I will try and catch up with everything else as soon as possible, I feel really bad about ignoring everyone.

> I'm surprised they didn't blame Liu Xi for putting the swamp in Nats' bathroom. Though she has a distinctly different style - she wouldn't put the swamp in the bathroom, she would put the bathroom in a swamp.

There's a "blame Liu Xi" line due in our very next chapter.

> Isn't there a problem with any of the Legionnaires seeing the Drop Bears instantly not believing in them and forgetting why they're in the forest to begin with?

Yes. Fortunately forewarned is forearmed. For example, I'd imagine that Yuki could program herself an automatic reminder message every 30 seconds.

> And as an off-topic aside: if you notice, I've been trying to keep the flow of the board going with various stories - the latest of which is more difficult than usual because it's so long, and I got myself in really deep, but that's not really the point. The problem is I'm starting to run into walls trying not to change anything too much to avoid upsetting the posters and whatever plans you or them might have.

It's always a problem. generally posters are open to being contacted and commenting on changes.

> It's still fun writing "around" the walls, but sooner or later the people who read the stories will start to realize that's exactly what I'm doing, and they'll get bored. That's what I'm most worried about now.

I'm well over a year behind where I expected with PV plots. I'd planned the Carnifax situation to be a short term plotline! I have a whole Sturdy Strolling Beggarly Brotherhhod arc I haven't dared broach yet. I have plots that involve Hatty/Rabid Wolf that I don't really want to progress sans-Jay. And so on.

Generally my uber-plan goes:

Tom Black #12, completing the current Tom arc.

UT issue featuring the Carnifex, setting up the next big event I intend to do.

Boss Deadeyes stuff featuring the return of the Lynchpin.

Vinnie De Soth's dinner with his family.

The end of the Herringcarp Asylum horror series.

Possibly the Sturdy Strolling Beggarly Brotherhood

The LL vs the Carnifex.

The Da Visionary Code.

Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind.
