To those who did not read the notes last week, due to real life complications darkice and I are delaying the next chapter of The Rusted Blade until next week. We found that if we don't keep a fair lead on the story, we *will* write ourselves into a corner, and then finding a way out of it without retconning what we've already released is tricky at best, and can interrupt the flow of writing.

So we're taking this week off to catch up on the story and get a safe lead so as to keep up the quality of our work, and I hope you'll all be patient in the meantime! We will continue this, and we WILL finish it in due time. We're both very excited with the way the story is going, and I think next Thursday's chapter posting will be worth the wait!

Thanks for reading, everyone!
