Office Politics Schedule Update: I attached a note about the OP delay to the Marth post, but I figured I should make a separate post since lots of people who've already seen Marth might skip reading it. So OP progress has been slow. This chapter is 32 pages and 50% group shots so it's a lot of work. I'm grinding it out and I hope to get it out by Tuesday, but Wednesday is looking more likely. Sorry to everyone who's been waiting all week for this. It'll be worth the wait I promise.

Office Politics Schedule Update #2 EDIT: Thanks for the positive comments friends. I was honestly dreading typing up this message as I feel like I've really let a lot of you down. Know that I am ALWAYS thinking about how to best get the chapters out on time and I'm grinding pages out like a madman trying to give everybody their money's-worth. Sorry, sorry I know this isn't the message you wanted to hear, but OP won't be out tonight either. It's been tough this week and it'll still be another 1-2 days before it's out. HOWEVER- I'm going to do nothing but work for the next week to get the schedule back on track, so while this release will have been delayed, CC Part 2 will come out faster than ever and hopefully the monthly won't be pushed back too much. Sorry friends it's been one hell of a week, but rest assured this chapter is going to be all action with no brakes. Lot's of good stuff to come I promise. PS: After CC and the monthly chapters are done, I'll make my next post a video about my process and methods so there's more transparency on how I create/edit/caption these images and why the process sometimes gets delayed a long while.

Office Politics Schedule Update: The story is progressing... but NovelAI's server keeps timing out on me... My PC is working fine, upload and download speed is good and all my other programs are working fine, but it seems like NovelAI's website is experiencing some backend issues and the timing for actually being able to create images is very sporadic. I'll have something to show on Wednesday for Office Politics- at least 20 images I'm sure, but I just plain don't know if I'll be able to finish by the end of Wednesday. Which is really frustrating because so many of the shots are very easy character shots that are just taking forever because I can't fine tune them properly. I've only been able to generate about... 60-70 times in the last four hours? Per image, it sometimes takes dozens of generations just to find a seed worth fine-tuning, then I'll make anywhere from 5-20 variations of that image to get enough "parts" to put a picture together with. Because this particular Chapter is so simple, I've been making progress, but if this was Gyaru I'd be screwed. I'm feeling like the slowdown is causing me to accept images quicker instead of trying for better variations, which is very dangerous territory for a quality-freak like me. So anyways, it'll be done when it gets done. I doubt it will be any later than Thursday, but the servers are being aggressively terrible right now. FOR THOSE IN THE FAST-PASS/ DONATION TIERS- Don't worry, I'll send you guys the dropbox link for the Office Politics Part 3 story in a DM tomorrow (Wednesday.) So even if I'm not finished by Wednesday and your sub expires at the end of the month, or if you choose to unsub/ lower your tier for February, you'll still have the link for Office Politics part 3 ready to go for when I'm able to post it in full. Sorry about the inconvenience guys, I've been sitting here staring at loading screens for hours trying to get this done since Sunday. I really hope this issue gets fixed soon, because this could be a real problem going forward.

Office Politics 4 Schedule Update + Marth TG Thoughts Office Politics Part 4 is proceeding smoothly. The generation is about halfway done I'd say, so expect it to drop in 2-3 days. I took a little extra time off for health reasons (some really annoying sinus headaches, but nothing serious,) and also because I put a little more into the Marth TG sequence brainstorming and generation. Question about the Marth -> Peach TG sequence though: If I want to do everything I planned, the TG Sequence itself (20ish pages,) a story development (10-20 pages,) and maybe a long 18+ scene to round it all out (20+ pages;) it ends up being very long... NOT the quick TG sequence I planned for. I want to do it, but I don't want to cutin too much into other projects. There's very little captioning in this one so throwing out two 30-35 page chapters wouldn't take TOO long (I can probably get out part 1 a few days after OP); but would you guys even want to see a TG sequence run that long? I mean, it would be full of fanservice all the way through. There'd be possible different outfits, some mild Peach Crown hypnosis, a wedding maybe, and all with very little intrusive text (just enough to get by.) But I mean, it's a tg sequence. I could just have him get all dolled up, have mario or some other bystander swing by, and then end it with a quick epilogue sex scene for a page or two. About 25-30 pages easy. You know me though: I like seeing the guy fight back or try and escape- for there to be a little intrigue. I thought maybe I could go the "Living clothes" route or some hypnosis in a similar style to "Clubbing with Sis." Marth could break free for a time, but then eventually be forced back into Peach-dom by the hypnosis or Mario. I also like forced wedding scenes, sue me. And I guess I could still try and do that in 30 pages, but it would just be "less" all around. Especially when the first 15-20 images would just be the Peachification. Lmk what you think and I'll link some WIP for OP and the Marth Sequence with the Poll
