[[OOC]] [[Update 17.12.19]] A message from this branch's author

Update 17.12.19: Previous plan was put temporarily on hold because I had a rare combination of new ideas and time to write over the last couple of days. Thought the manic energy from having new ideas might last longer if I dedicate it to said new ideas and it seems to have worked. I have laid a base for them and wrote down significant notes for a few different branches now. Old plan (re-write existing chapters - about 60% done so far, mainly just need to finish off the, uh "proper" scene I last talked about in... September? shit - before updating the lot) is to be resumed now though, unless those chapters get big interest. Have so many more ideas for the other sisters, but felt nostalgic for the delivery men chapters and wanted to at least plan out my own riff on that.

Update 14.09.19: Finally I've finished what I consider to be the first proper "Scene"! I'm still planning on posting more after it (but the immediate stuff isn't explicit - essentially just capping off that scene with some cute shit and setting up for more story) and I'm still likely doing another pass on the writing and jointing, but that's the first main smut segment done with in terms of major content. tl;dr still applies.

Hello! Just a quick note from me here - Unfortunately, I've been hitting a bit of a roadblock lately. It's not writers block; I have more ideas than I know what to do with and a desire to write greater than any other drive right now. My main problem is that my "time available for writing (erotica)" has gotten significantly smaller, going from at least a fairly comfortable 10 hours a week minimum, to barely one, in pretty awkward situations (in a literal "this isn't a sufficiently private and/or comfortable place to write" sense, not a "oh no, my panties fell down and I tripped over them and landed on a priest's penis and we got tangled and he did the cums" sense).

This poses a little bit of a problem, because I had planned on restructuring some of these passages a bit. And I was going to combine that with a rewrite. And doing both together is going to be a bit of a pain in the ass.

The restructure is because I blew past some clear decision points, partly due to me not having ideas for other branches at the time, partly due to it resulting in short passages, and I felt bad writing short passages. It's not a huge problem, as it's often just combing two possibilities into an option rather than one (e.g. win/lose and what happens), but it's neater and more friendly for other potential authors.

The rewrite is because I think some of the chapters are a bit weak because I'm writing them in the aforementioned crappy conditions. I would like to do at least another pass to make sure everything's consistent (or escalating correctly, or whatever). I don't think they're bad (others may disagree), just not my best work.

I want to combine the two, because I don't want to notification spam the people already following the story without providing at least some new content, but nor do I want a bunch of neat new writing to go unnoticed if I do them separately. But obviously that takes time to sort (and even more to do well). And I also don't really want to start perfectionist rewriting before getting to some actual sex.

So, for now, the plan is to push on until at least one scene is done (not the entire path). I am definitely trending more towards the rougher path. Once that's hit at least one climax, I'll probably do my re-write/re-joint pass. At a glance, I think the current Truth path is likely to stay the same, while the options under the Lie paths are the ones that seem to need significant breaking up, and the rough path especially needs another read-over and breaking up. I'll likely rejig that path first, and update the other paths when I'm going to make a new addition to them.

If you're planning on making any additions to the above branches, I'd advise contacting me first, so I can let you know of any planned changes, and/or keep you aware of when I plan to break everything up so you don't potentially lose any work.

I am sorry about the slow progress overall though. My intention was only to release something once I'd hit a substantial scene, but I accidentally posted one chapter instead of saving it as a draft, and decided to continue going piecemeal, thinking the wait wouldn't be too long. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I'm hoping my situation will change Soon™, but it's more than likely going to be Eventually®, instead.

tl;dr: I'm going to rewrite and restructure a bunch of my work here after getting to at least one sex scene, but my writing is slow lately, so:

1) Sorry, smut fans,

2) Message me if you're planning a chapter on my branch before then so we can co-ordinate/not lose work
