Hello anyone who is still reading. Currently, I am going to school (Yes mid-pandemic) and while I would like to continue this story, from my point of view would not be worth it to continue writing at this point in time. From what I can gather from data analytics on my end is that more recent chapters have received 3 views each, and I cannot tell if those are views from other accounts, or if it includes times I have accidentally hit the link to the series instead of the "Add New Chapter" button.

Either way I have heard literally nothing from my viewers since the first chapter. Absolutely nothing, no interaction. Granted, I have probably lost a lot of momentum because I stopped for two years due to personal business. I do not begrudge anyone for dropping my work due to this long gap in productivity.

This is in no way about a decrease in viewership. Rather, I have no idea if anyone is reading or (If there are still readers) if they are actually enjoying this series thus far. I do not want to write into a vacuum, and I do not want to write something that people are not enthusiastic to read. My work should be entertaining, not a chore. But the only way I know that is if anyone responds in some way, shape, or form.

So if you want me to write more, just do literally anything. Leave a like, post a comment, PM me on Pintrest, PM me here, just something so I know someone is on the other end. Otherwise, I just am not going to be motivated to put more effort into creating this story. 

I know I have put the above into the descriptions of previous episodes. However, for the same reasons as above, I have no idea if anyone even reads the descriptions or if they even get added in the first place.

If you are reading this and think "Oh, somebody else will do it, I don't have to. They'll keep writing without my input." You are wrong. There are three of you (At most) at the time of writing, there are too few of you to leave it up to someone else.

Another thing I have noticed is that my chapters tend to get any views only a week after I post them. I don't know if that's because people aren't going to the most recent chapter when they've been posted or if Tapas is loading them into some kind of Queue that I'm unaware of. Because of that, immediately after this Update's posting I will post a second update to direct you to this one just to cover my bases(If the series continues I will edit it into the next chapter and post the chapter after it immediately after it's edited, just a little bonus for your participation). If any of you interact with the series in any of the ways I have mentioned in the next week, the next chapter will come out next Tuesday per usual. If not, the series will be delayed until I get some kind of interaction or their is a sudden rise in viewership that I can be certain is not me accidentally pressing the wrong button.

With that out of the way, a note about how the series will work going forward (I'm assuming that you want the series to continue and are planning to do something about it if you have read this far):

First, I paused here not only because of my schoolwork but also because the three main characters have all been introduced. The point of view shifts between them and each one holds onto it for two chapters. At six completed chapters, each character has gotten their introductory chapters out of the way, so this seems like a natural stopping point.

Second, I will keep the upload day consistent, the time of day will not be. Sometimes I'm on a roll and get multiple chapters prepped in one go so they're ready whenever I get the chance to upload them. Other times, I can't work on them until late at night and they get uploaded accordingly. With my schoolwork, I am not going to be able to keep the time of day consistent.

Third, I will have descriptions under the episodes. That is where you will be getting schedule updates. I don't put anything in there that isn't important, if it isn't important, I will say so at the top. (This one has no description, if none of the previous episodes have descriptions please tell me so I am aware of the problem and I can find some way to fix it)

And that should be all. If you get to this point and are still reading, thank you, it means a lot. Just, please let me know you're actually there. Even if you find this a couple years from now and I haven't added anything but you still want more, just leave a comment. As the time stamps prove I can pick things up after a multi-year hiatus.
