I'm sorry if you've answered this already (I'm on mobile and it's hard to go through tags) but do you know when part 4 of What Lies Behind The Throne will be posted?
That’s okay! No one has asked so far so now is a good time to explain!
Chapter four will be posted end of August/beginning of September. I’m waiting for some chapter art to go along with it. But i’ll be posting a preview this week or next week.
I should explain, the reason I am spacing these chapters out so far is for two reasons:
1. Because I like to be really far ahead of myself. Like. Even though I’m about halfway through chapter 11 now, in my mind that isn’t far enough ahead and my brain is telling me I will run out of buffers really fast. >.> I don't know WHY my brain does this, but it does.
2. From chapter 6 onwards the chapters will be posted in two parts. One part at the beginning of the month, the second part in the middle. The reason for THIS is because the chapters get REALLY LONG. Like.
Okay. So chapters 1-5 all clock in (just) under 8k words and are between 10-14 pages long.
Chapter six clocks in at almost 15k words and is 26 pages long. And that is probably the SHORTEST of the later chapters. I’m going to be splitting them up for ease of reading. I know sitting down and reading 15k words in one go can be daunting, especially on a website like tumblr or AO3, and for a fanfic. So splitting them into POV parts (Roselyn’s POV and Alistair’ POV) should make the chapters a bit less... daunting to read.
I hope. At least.
TL;DRChapter four will be out at the end of the month/beginning September.Chapter 6 onwards will be split into two parts and the fic will be updated twice a month. :D
Hope this answers you question! <3
