A quick note and an apology to Changeling readers...

[randomweaving]

Dear Changeling readers,

After conferring with one another, thuri and I have decided the last few chapters of Changeling need too much work for us to keep up with our current posting schedule.

I know many of you were hesitant to start reading this because you were afraid it would be abandoned. Please don’t think that’s what’s happening here! It’s quite the opposite, in fact. We could post the entire thing now, and be done with it, but we’ve really come to love this world, and we do not want the end to be disappointing to those of you who’ve stuck with us for so long. We’re only pausing so we can work it up to the level we have come to expect of ourselves, and the level we feel you all deserve.

Right now, we’re only planning to delay posting chapter 21 until Sunday. If we can get caught up between now and then, we will resume our normal posting schedule. If not, we may move to once a week postings until we do catch up. We will do our very best to give you at least one chapter a week, but if we need to miss another we will let you know.

In lieu of Chapter 21, however, we will be posting one of our shorter fics at midnight as a peace offering. Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers,

~RS

This is horrendously selfish, but I am somewhat glad for this. Not only because it will make the story that much better, but also because my school schedule this Spring and the fact that I took two classes during the Winterim have left me horridly behind and I'm hoping to catch up this week-end.

I do not think anyone would worry about you two abandoning this story. You're both so dedicated to making sure it's top notch and even getting to us on a regular basis that any worries that a reader could have are assuaged by those two facts.

I'm glad to hear that! A lot of people started reading this on faith that we would finish it, and we really don't want people to think we won't. We just didn't realize how much some of these chapters needed to be revised, that's all.

Glad we're giving you a chance to get caught up! I doubt you're the only one who's fallen behind, so no worries about being selfish. :)
