I saw mentioned that you know there are a bunch of interludes coming up. If I remember right, Wildbow wrote one interlude a day as a special thanks to the early Worm supporters that were reading as he released chapters. So, I know the answer is most likely “no” which is completely understandable and okay, but would you consider a one a day marathon for the interludes reflecting his one a day chapter drops? If it sounds fun, might be a thing to try. Love your liveread, much thanks for sharing.

I actually already tried this! Back when I hit my first anniversary just under months ago, someone suggested attempting a marathon inspired by his (I was later informed about the eight Interludes being that marathon). I did give it a shot, but gave up after about half the week.

Hey, Krix, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you doing this. I know some people are always on you to get more out AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!, but seriously, it makes the day better even when it’s just occasionally. I work a lot, and don’t get a lot of free time, so I just wanted to tell you not to try and burn yourself out putting out more – whatever comes is awesome enough. 🙂

Thank you 🙂 I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I’m sure half a dozen people are telling you this, but “zaydee” is Yiddish for grandfather. The implication is that Charlotte is Jewish (or at least, part of her family is).

Ah! Thanks 🙂

Oh, and by the way – as Minda’s ask screener, I’ve seen plenty of asks where people have been like “I’m sure lots of people are saying this” but been the only one, or one of surprisingly few. However according to Sharks:

Sharks: This anon is actually right on the money. Including theirs, five other people gave the same thing.

You should consider placing a bet on one of those “how many things are in the jar” contests. 😛

So, now that you know more about Cauldron. I’m really curious to ask what theories and expectations you had about Upsilon turned out to be wrong.

The main one was that they’re far more commercial than I had expected. It surprised me far more that they sell the powers than that they do science on human test subjects and keep some of them as their private army.

I basically expected them to be unscrupulous scientists first and foremost, but instead the business aspect seems to be more prominent.

Then again, the business aspect wouldn’t be possible without the unscrupulous science.

I decided to reread chapter and arc thoughts, and I discovered that chapter thoughts for 7.4, 7.7, 8.7, 9.6 and 11.3 are missing the tag for it.

Thank you! This is a tag that’s easy to forget. I’ll go fix each of these 🙂

Hey Krixwell, thank you for what you do and dont get discouraged just becourse some people dont understand what a prediction is – i quite like your #next updates and still dont mind if you have to postpone 🙂 As for a question: Does it bother you that people told you beforehand that their will be 8 Interludes? That seems like a spoiler in itself to me. Also please do your Arc thoughts before the Interludes this time (and after) 🙂

Generally, I would’ve preferred not to know that so far in advance, yeah. Though at least this way we don’t end up with a series of “are we there yet”s as far as Arc Thoughts go. 😛

A good compromise would’ve been waiting until about now – or even better, after the first of the Interludes – to tell me about the eight Interludes.

No hard feelings, though! It’s fine. 🙂

Please ignore those complaining about your postponing. I’m pretty sure they’re the minority and the majority of us know that life/college/etc come before a Live Blog you’re doing as a hobby. I’d rather you keep the tentative “next chapter” scheduling so I know when to check in next, even if that often leads me to a “next chapter delayed” announcement.

Yeah, I honestly don’t get a lot of these. It’s to be expected that I’d get some, really.

To be clear, I wasn’t seriously considering getting rid of the #next posts. I was just making a point about how postponing wouldn’t even be a thing if you guys hadn’t asked for those posts in the first place.

In the future, I’d really prefer that you just eat rude asks (or answer them yourself on this blog saying that they’re rude). 😦 I really don’t like seeing Krix deal with that.

I think I’d prefer that Sharks didn’t do that, but I might not answer them.
