a whenever-it's-ready schedule

I must not do that. Whatever I do, I have to not do that. Maybe it works for Eliezer, but I need a schedule and the sensation that somebody would notice if I didn't update in order to stick with a project. Without that, I take unannounced hiatuses, ditch things altogether, decide to start over and never get around to it, and start to update slower and slower. Then there is project death. That was the fate of my first webcomic. Poor thing.

If I feel like I have to, I'll change the schedule (I already did that once; when I first started Luminosity it updated daily) but I think I'm going to be able to catch up a bit over the weekend and stick to the thrice weekly thing. This is just leftover slippage from the holidays and an inconveniently timed plot bog that I think I've written past now. But thanks for your concern!

(As for the "shorter" thing, the goal has always been to clear 4k words. I've done that every time, but yes, when I'm cutting it too close, I clear it by a smaller margin.)

It isn't HTHT, alright? You updated it quite recently. Also, I'm just here to tell you that HTHT is awesome. I looked at it a few months ago and I was put off by the rough artwork, however, after reading Luminosity my expectations got shifted upwards considerably, and then I read HTHT. It was the funniest thing I read in 2010.

HTHT was not my first. (I've never missed an HTHT update, or even gotten one up past Thursday.) Syzygy was. (There was also a short-lived collaboration between me and my sister on one called "Ensorcel", but that ended because said sister became self-conscious about her art (which the comic was explicitly intended to practice) being online for all to see.)
