I am still composing and posting one chapter at a time as I rework the branch that I deleted. Today's chapter heavily recycles some of that material: Interactive: "Dramas, Public and Private" Public: "Dramas, Private and Public" But it's stretching out, and the branch will be two chapters longer by the time I reach the point where the last branch ended. Part of that is just trying to break up some of the text-heavy parts. Today's chapter, for instance, originally ended farther in the process, but that left the entire chapter as an exercise in spell-solving. So I moved part of the spell stuff to tomorrow's chapter, and inserted a small character scene, to give it a little relief. The other reason is that the pacing feels better being slowed down a little. It was one of the thing that bothered me almost as much as the continuity stuff when I reread this branch: It just moved too fast. Anyway, tomorrow will bring a couple of hundred words to wrap up the spell-casting, with the balance of the chapter given over to character stuff. Then a chapter that will be almost entirely character stuff in order to set up the concluding choices. Then we'll get into the commission, and something genuinely new. |
