Hello There~

Lepidopterophobia is a very complicated fic. The final chapter needs to thread the needle on a lot of different plot points, wrapping things up while putting the pieces in place for the next installment.

The final chapter is going to be a LONG BOI. The draft is sitting at around 30k-40k words. It's basically a small novella in of itself, which is why I keep going back and forth on whether I want to split it in half or not.

My Hazbin muse just isn't there right now! I still LOVE the show, and PolyVees and VoxVel are still close to my heart, but I cannot force myself to write when I'm not enthused.

Even when the final chapter is done, that's when I need to embark on The Big Edit, which I am admittedly very intimidated by. Lepidopterophobia is currently 241,551 words, and that's WITHOUT the behemoth final chapter taken into consideration. So while writing the final chapter, I need to keep in mind the whole time: "I need to keep this open so I can alter it in the edit, don't forget about the edit, remember all the changes you're planning on making while not contradicting the fic in it's current state..."

On a related note, I do need to do both a Big Rewatch of the show and a Big Reread of the fic, which won't happen overnight.

So yes, that is my excuse train.

If I were to try and give an estimate, I'd say that the final chapter is about 60% done. It still needs a little more added to its body, and then several rounds of editing.

I am hoping to get it done before we even hear rumors about Season 3 🤞 but please, as irritating as it is to hear after all these months, be patient with me.

Love you all, thank-you so much for supporting my silly little au. You're all darlings! 💋📺🦋
