Oookay! And I was hoping to actually have the upload done tonight, but I've got work in a handful of hours, so I think I'm gonna get some sleep instead.
More importantly though, I'm switching the plan up a little.
I always expected this chapter to be pretty massive, but now that I've actually got it written out and I'm looking at where I'm expanding things, and where things are getting much larger than my skeleton accounted for, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably best to split it into two chapters. Since the alternative is gonna be some monstrous 30-40k word beast, that's just gonna be silly.
I've mostly gotten it all written anyway, although not all transcribed, so the second part should come not long after the first (presuming I don't get myself killed in editing/re-writing). Aim was to have an upload up tonight, and then the second part by end of next week at the latest, but tonight went slower than I was hoping for, so we'll see how that holds.
I've updated the Google Docs to reflect this, but the plan right now will be to have the first part end shortly after the meeting in Ylisstol, before they depart (finishing with the Cordelia blowjob that overwhelmingly won the vote!) and then the second part cover the rest.
So part 1 is setup, part 2 is all Say'ri. Makes sense in a way.
For perspective, what I've got transcribed so far is a little under 20k words, and will probably end up around 25k+ or so by the time I've finished with the meeting, the talk with Olivia and the Cordelia scene. So it'll be a pretty meaty chapter as is.
And yeah, I know, splitting chapters sucks. I agree. It feels lame to do it and it probably feels somewhat unsatisfying to read, but I think it's probably a necessary evil at this point.
Thanks as always
