Fuck it, it’s really stupid to keep piling on more stuff and angsting over the number of chapters I’d promised. I’m going to post 10k of the story as chapter 9, and then cut it at the point where the action stops and make the next 10k words (it grew) into chapter 10. All the fallout of the action, all the wind-up. That’s getting its own chapter.
So I’ll be posting chapter 9 this weekend for sure, maybe even today, and then chapter 10 will follow hopefully within the same day.
How much epilogue with spiritually-uplifting threesomes will make it into chapter 10 I don’t know, but the resolutions all wind up there.
So don’t cuss at me when chapter 9 goes up and ends on another not-resolution, because I promise, the resolutions are right there, I’m just not quite done with them.
(I might be. I’m just not totally sure.)
And I was sort of kicking myself, like, ugh, if I’d just let myself post another chapter and push the conclusion off one more, I could’ve updated way earlier, but looking at it, no. The last 2k words are all stuff I wrote two days ago or less. I wouldn’t have known how the middle really worked if I hadn’t written the end, either, so. That’s the sweet spot of serialization– you can update before you’ve finished, but only if you’re sure that the end won’t change the middle.
Anyway. The action’s all in chapter 9 but it may not be totally clear how and to what extent the bad guys get their comeuppance, if any; a lot of times, you can’t immediately tell who really won something. So chapter 10 will have the punchlines, if chapter 9 leaves that ambiguous.
