New Cat’s Cradle chapter, perhaps?

Hi.

I appreciate that you like the fic enough to want more of it. Did you... see the author's notes at the end of the last chapter?

The last updates were less than a month ago. I'm writing my Master's thesis. I haven't had much time for fic since posting that heads up.

Also, fwiw, treating an author like a vending machine for content is a great way to jam the muse up. It's not quite the compliment you might think it is! It's really dehumanizing and actually makes me want to do anything but touch that fic.

Don't needle authors for updates if you actually want updates. It usually produces the opposite effect, and is pretty rude.

So no, no new Cat's Cradle chapter.

#the irony is I'd drafted up the next one with some prompts friends gave me.#was going to wait until i had time + general strike ended before prep. but actually I'd rather slog through academic writing instead!!#yall have no idea how close I came to deleting the fic in sept bc I loathed it and oh that impulse is back baby #also yknow we're in the middle of a strike. I've hardly rb'd any fandom content as a result. and I certainly don't want to post fic rn
