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.

The Plan for July and August

So in today's chapter—"Teases for Two"

— I didn't quite get to where I wanted to go. Some girl talk got in the way. But it seemed necessary. Am I going to write and soon post the chapter that includes the actual swap? I'm undecided. I think I should. But there's other stuff I should be doing.

And what's that other stuff?

I want to spend July and August working on a non-BoM project. I have a solid idea for what I want to do, and I have spent the first two days of July brainstorming the stuff that will let me start it, so I don't feel like I've violated my own pledge by still writing some BoM chapters. But that's what I mean to be concentrating on. Any BoM stuff that gets written will be purely extra, and won't be published until September at the earliest.

As for what my current project will be: Well, it's something I don't think BoM readers will be interested in, but I will let you watch me compose it.

Until now, I've kept my non-BoM stuff off this site, but this one I think I'll publish on WdC, a chapter at a time, as I write them. I'm not looking for feedback (though I will take it) and really, I'll be publishing it publicly because I think I'm going to need the discipline that comes from putting myself out very visibly on a tightrope.

But it will be a day or two before the first chapter appears. I'll let you know when it goes up.

I have a small trickle of chapters in BoM that I will put out over the upcoming week. A few months ago, when I was publishing the branch that introduced Sydney, I polled you guys at each fork to see which way you wanted to go, and I told you that I had a chapter written for each choice. Mostly you picked the choices that sent the story down the path I had written, but I still have half-a-dozen or so chapter choices that you rejected. I would like to get some of those onto the record, because some of them contain plot evolutions that I think are pretty important, so I'll put those up.
