Schedule Update for May/June Continued: I know the releases have been a bit slow lately and I apologize once again for that. The sex scene for Certifiably Cooked 8 was really technical and I ended up falling four days behind. I learned some new tricks as a result, but 4 days was just too much. The other releases ended up being delayed by a day or two each as well so the schedule ended up being about 9 days off- way too much even considering my usual delays. Idk what to say though tbh. Sure I took a couple days off for my mental, but I worked pretty hard all month yet the delay was still that big. Sure, the new model was partly to blame, but I'll try and explore different techniques for getting content out faster. I learned a lot about the v4 (and now the v5) model and I think I should be able to get these next chapters out faster than last month. Although, as we move into a higher amount of "action" in all the stories, delays like these might become more commonplace. Therefore, I gave myself an extra day between releases for this month. (Also I have family in town and another convention, but that shouldn't impact things as much as ALA since it's local this time.)

Schedule Update for May/June 5/14 - My Hero Short Story 5/15 - Tsunade's Special Training part 7 releases to all tiers 5/18 - Office Politics 25 5/26 - Certifiably Cooked 9 6/03 - Office Politics 26 6/10 - Tsunade's Special Training Part 8 (Monthly Early Access) About the Schedule: I wanted to release a short story for subscribers in addition to my usual stuff this month, and I have a fun Midoriya/Bakugo bullying TG/TF story that's been half done for a while now so I thought I'd go ahead and finish it. (A little later than I wanted admittedly.) Even though no one asked for this and it's fairly standard stuff (not a lot of intrigue), I think it's pretty hot and I want to share some more shorter stories with you guys every now and again! As for the poll: The OP -> OP and CC -> CC poll results were too close for me to give it to either one (170 to 168.) So I'm doing OP -> CC -> OP instead as to not piss off all the CC fans. Also, If OP OP wins then we won't have a single chapter of CC this month, which is my bad but it also just feels wrong. Call me a tyrant if you must-! But put it on record that my vote was Op -> CC -> CC so my choice isn't winning here either!

Cooked Schedule Update + Delays Part 2: Apology + Nonapology But now that it's the end of the 20th and I'm reviewing what I've done, I'm doubtful I'll be able to release cooked in full on the 21st. I'm thinking that I'll work through the day and try and have 20 pages ready to go by 5pm PST with the rest going up late Wednesday. I know it's frustrating that the schedule keeps being changed, but I want you all to know that it's not from a lack of trying. I normally go at a rate of one chapter per week because it's tougher for me to go any faster. So far this month we were still on pace for a release every 7 days, and only now with CC's full release being pushed back to the 22nd is there really a "content delay." My issue is that I shouldn't have promised the 17th or 20th in the first place so I could account for delays and problems on my end- that's my bad and I apologize. But the schedule overpromising is the only thing I'm apologizing for this month. I have been working my ass off this month even through getting sick off of LA air quality, and I've posted both a larger monthly release and a larger weekly release in the span of 14 days. I treat this like my full-time job and have been putting in waaay more than 40 hours each week over here, constantly pulling all-nighters, and I hate these insinuations that I'm being lazy or faking an illness to get out of work. Everyone has a demanding job, I'm not trying to farm sympathy here and I'm sure many of you work way harder than I do; but I'm trying my best and grinding to get you content so I'd appreciate it if you at least waited until the end of the month to evaluate the volume of chapters/releases. So far, I think this month has been fine enough personally.

Cooked Schedule Update + Delays Part 1: Explanation Hey everybody, I know a lot of you are disappointed over the delays, so I'll be a little more transparent with why things are the way they are this month. I figured I could get out some quick WIP before I left for LA on the 7th (20 pages), but that ended up not being the case as I started to get really picky aboutt he story-telling so I kept adding to it. I ended up working through the con to try and not let it affect the release schedule this month but I still wasn't able to get it out until the day AFTER I got back; so Cooked ended up losing a day in the process. Once again, I wasn't planning on working during the con anyways so it wasn't much time taken away from Cooked overall. I figured the 35 pages short stories/WIP was worth the wait, but as it wasn't on the original schedule I can see why you guys would be disappointed. After that, I was just fatigued from con and I had a lot of stuff I needed to deal with irl so I spent another day not working on Cooked, but I was still hopeful I get it out by the 20th (4 days from then.) I sent a message out about the delay and kept chugging along. From there though, things just did not seem to go my way with the generations, and progress was extremely slow. Lots of group shots being annoyingly stubborn and I've been having a lot of time with the NovelAI backend (especially today.) I sent a message that the 20th was probably a no-go but I admittedly sent it out very late on the 19th. I can understand why many of you are upset and that's my bad.

Certifiably Cooked Schedule Update EDIT: Working through the night to get this done. I probably won't finish until after midnight on Tuesday, but I'll post the first 20ish sometime around 6pm. I'll update this post Sunday night, but it's looking like a Tuesday release for Cooked. Trying some stuff I haven't done before and it's not going super well, but I'll work it out I'm sure. Starting out this monthly schedule strong haha. We'll see if I can't make up the time with a quicker Tsunade release. (My vision is very strong for this coming chapter so I'm pretty sure I can save a day on it.)
