I managed to get Chapter XVI of New Gaia done on time, and I even finished Chapter 6 of Assassin as well. The PFV section has been updated with the new installments, too.
Well, I've come to the decision that I need to space out my updates where New Gaia and The Vampire Hunter are concerned. As the stories have progressed and become more complicated, I've found that I have to really do a lot of double-checking to make sure I'm not contradicting myself or writing myself into a corner. I have outlines for both stories, as well as most of my other stories, that I've been following, but the details are always left in the air until I actually write the chapters and sometimes entire story arcs are created from those details that I couldn't foresee in the original draft. So, I'm just not going to be able to get completed chapters done every week anymore. I need to either change the schedule or start putting out incomplete chapters and I don't want to do that to you guys (I hate major cliff-hanger stories myself).
So, instead of updating NG every Tuesday and TVH every Thursday, NG will be updated the 1st and the 15th of each month and TVH will be updated the 7th and the 21st.
This will also give me time to focus on all the other stories that I don't work on by a schedule, as well as the new ones I'm constantly coming up with (like the recent Morpheus' Influence).
I think as you see where I'm going with these two particular stories, you'll understand why I have to take more time with them. In fact, according to my latest outline revision for NG, Chapter XIX is looking like it could practically be a book all by itself. And TVH is getting close to being finished up (sort of) and then I'll be moving on to its immediate sequel, which I've titled Bloodlines for now.
I'll still be posting updates every few days on all my various stories the way I have been, but the guaranteed weekly updates of NG and TVH will now be biweekly.
