Apologies!
Jan. 8th, 2013 12:04 amUm, for anyone reading Beloved, I have an announcement!
Okay, using the word 'announcement' makes it sound kind of ominous. 'Apology'? What I'm trying to say is, the next chapter is going to be late. Probably by about a week. Which is horrible, I know, since I have already pushed the updates to fortnightly in light of how exciting life has been lately. But I kind of pride myself on keeping to my updating schedule, so having to delay even further is upsetting to me as well! I don't like having such long breaks between updates because it's harder for the reader to remember what's been going on, too. :/
Despite been super-busy lately (and playing lots of video games also), this isn't actually the reason why this chapter is going to get pushed back. It was almost ready to send off for beta yesterday, in fact! What can I say, when my life becomes insanely busy I also become really really good at time management. Also like how the more broke I become the more magical I become at budgeting.
No, it's because right before I was about to send it off for beta I discovered a massive string of continuity errors! D: So massive, in fact, that it will necessitate completely rewriting about two thirds of the chapter. Which even if I can finish by Saturday won't give me enough time for beta or editing.
The good news is, my write-around solution to fix these continuity errors might make the chapter more interesting! The bad news is that I am going to have to beg extra time from you guys. It sucks, but we're close to the end of the fic, and those are the chapters I tend to take the longest time on. I usually have enough of a buffer when I start posting to ensure this doesn't matter but I sadly ran out of buffer a while ago now. So once more, apologies! I'll make a photo post or something on the Saturday to make up for it?
Thanks for your patience, and hope everyone is having a good week!
