Apologies for delay, and end of year thanks (Patreon)

I wanted to apologize for the delay between updates! It's Christmas, obviously, so things have been a little strange and busier than normal. 

In the New Year, now that I've reached a decent-ish pledge level and have managed to save up just a little money, I'm planning to commit to a once-weekly update schedule, at least for a while. Hopefully that'll increase interest in the story enough to the point that I'll be able to stop doing some of the awful online freelance writing I do to pay the bills, and have enough time to continue that level of output in perpetuity. 

That should start in a few days - though every time I give a figure on this thing, it seems to curse me, so maybe I ought not to say that. 

Whatever happens, thank you so much for having supported me over the past year! This is the first time I've mind any money off my original creative writing except for a one-shot instance of some freelance stuff for a small games studio, so it's been incredibly heartening to see people enjoy it as much as some of you have professed to.
