Wanted to politely answer earlier but because of the attitude...

First, Seuzz does that every now and then. Look at this very blog - he's been away for up to 6 months and has always returned. You can see each time he returns that he apologizes and explains the reasons why he's missing. Sometimes, he calls these breaks in advance; sometimes, like with life, he can't explain them. It has happened several times just during these past two years, it has happened before, and it'll happen again. And yes - we worry that something happens to him whenever he disappears without a trace, but all we can hope is that he's doing okay.

Second, as Prussian said, just because he skips a week doesn't mean the series is dead. Missing 76 days, mostly non-consecutive, out of 190 days is pretty laudable: you can't expect someone to update daily and keep it all by himself. He deserves a break, even if unannounced, to keep the story flowing.

Third, he's not the only one who posts in the series. There are a group of collaborators (myself included) that sometimes post things, but we all have our reasons not to post like crazy. Part of it is trying to keep quality control over what's posted here. There's a reason why the Interactive has had several prizes and mentions over the years. Even if something happens to him, the community will keep the series alive, one way or another.

So no - the series isn't dead, and saying "wrong" as if you knew more than us shows your ignorance. The interactive is quite large, so you can binge on one chapter per day until Seuzz returns - in case you want to refine or consolidate your thoughts on the story. Not going to ask you about what you've done on the rest of the year, 10 months and 20 days since you've been here, but I'm pretty sure you didn't spent it reading the Interactive in-depth, or else we would've heard of you by now. It's a community that's more active than you'd think, but not a terminally online one.

Handicapping the Entries

* Interactive: "A Chill in the Air"

* Public: "A Chill in the Air"

That chapter brings this branch to a halt. There are actually two more chapters, but they go with each of the choices, and neither of them seemed very compelling when I reread them, so I'm not going to post either of them. Truth to tell—as I confess in "Commentary: "Betrayals, Backstabs, and Possible Boyfriends""

—I didn't find this branch very compelling as I reread it. I hope it amused readers more than it amused me, because that wouldn't be hard to do.

Tomorrow I return to an area that hasn't been touched since ... Oh, gosh, around about the time that BoM started being posted? Okay, it got touched a few years ago, when I sent a bunch of chapters to the Non-Canonical BoM, but it's a place that hasn't been looked at since I introduced it at the very start of this whole thing.

As "The Man in the Wheelchair"

opens, Will has decided to get rid of the book, and decides to see if he can interest his next-door neighbor. And that is all that is going on—this is literally "Chapter Two" stuff.

The chapter linked above is a new version of what was originally there, so even if you remember Andrew and his wheelchair, you should probably go read it. I'll pick things up from there tomorrow.
