There will be some major pauses in updates coming up, mostly due to Flash animation chores. There will be exactly three pauses. Two of them will be related to animation. The third will not.

PAUSE ONE: This starts RIGHT NOW! (July 1st) I will use this time to work on the first animation. I have to travel to SDCC on July 11th. It’s very likely I will finish the animation before that. Once I post it, pause two will begin.

PAUSE TWO: I will use this time to work on another animation, to end A6A3. It will definitely be longer than pause 1, because it will include my trip to SDCC. That trip will kill an entire week of animation time. I’ll likely have to start work on it when I get back. Cross country travel is preposterously disruptive, and it’s going to slow everything down.

PAUSE THREE: This will begin immediately after pause two. It will not involve working on animation. I’m reserving this time to catch up on the huge amount of chores I’ve been badly neglecting, and will continue to badly neglect during pauses 1 and 2. The irony of animation pauses: you see nothing for many days, but I’m working at least twice as hard, doing nothing else. It’s a break for you, but an anti-break for me. So I need to schedule an ACTUAL break to do stuff that needs doing. Book work, plus tons of other things. I don’t know how long this pause will be yet. Probably longer than either of the first two. Let’s look at it sort of like the end of a “season”, where the season was all of act 6 so far.

The bottom line is, this is all going to add up to a whole lot of “me not updating Homestuck” for a while. It’s not really what I want, but there’s just no way around it.

I guess that’s all there is to say for now. See you after pause one!

Edit: wait, something else I wanted to mention. Recently some music team guys helped me update the sound credits page, so that each entry links to the song in an album. That way, for any Flash page, it’s easy to find out exactly where that song is on bandcamp. For those newer to the site, I suspect this may be helpful.
