Wanted to politely answer earlier but because of the attitude...

First, Seuzz does that every now and then. Look at this very blog - he's been away for up to 6 months and has always returned. You can see each time he returns that he apologizes and explains the reasons why he's missing. Sometimes, he calls these breaks in advance; sometimes, like with life, he can't explain them. It has happened several times just during these past two years, it has happened before, and it'll happen again. And yes - we worry that something happens to him whenever he disappears without a trace, but all we can hope is that he's doing okay.

Second, as Prussian said, just because he skips a week doesn't mean the series is dead. Missing 76 days, mostly non-consecutive, out of 190 days is pretty laudable: you can't expect someone to update daily and keep it all by himself. He deserves a break, even if unannounced, to keep the story flowing.

Third, he's not the only one who posts in the series. There are a group of collaborators (myself included) that sometimes post things, but we all have our reasons not to post like crazy. Part of it is trying to keep quality control over what's posted here. There's a reason why the Interactive has had several prizes and mentions over the years. Even if something happens to him, the community will keep the series alive, one way or another.

So no - the series isn't dead, and saying "wrong" as if you knew more than us shows your ignorance. The interactive is quite large, so you can binge on one chapter per day until Seuzz returns - in case you want to refine or consolidate your thoughts on the story. Not going to ask you about what you've done on the rest of the year, 10 months and 20 days since you've been here, but I'm pretty sure you didn't spent it reading the Interactive in-depth, or else we would've heard of you by now. It's a community that's more active than you'd think, but not a terminally online one.

Jerry-rigged

In case you couldn't tell from the bumpy posting schedule, this was a hard one to wrap up. I had a target—get to the point where Michelle has six masks, and Will is ready to move to another spot—and by the end I was pretty grimly set on getting to it. It wasn't much fun for me, because I wasn't giving myself room for surprises.

At any rate, today's chapters—

* Interactive: "Ambition from a Surprising Place"

* Public: "Ambition from a Surprising Place"

—have got it done. There's also a commentary thread: "Commentary: "A Junior Partner""

Tomorrow I start working on a commission: a return to the story of "Laurent and his gang of sports clowns," as the commissioner put it. (I love that description, and I'm going to repeat it as often as possible.) It will pick up here: "Thimbleriggery"

. The background:

Will needs money to continue researching the masks, and so he has shown them to Laurent Delacroix, the captain of the wrestling team, and to some of Laurent's friends. They all think the masks are hilarious, and are having great fun copying girls and then playing around as girls inside the masks.

There have been some shenanigans involving Jessica Garner, though: At least twice, Will has had to put on Jessica's mask and sneak into the Garners' house, and each time he has managed to mess something up between the Garner siblings. And wind of things has apparently got back to Jessica, for she has shown up on Will'd doorstep with the news that she knows all about what's going on.

Meanwhile, someone has been using Will's mask to get him in good with Eva Garner.

Now, hang on just a moment, I hear you guys cry. The link above is pointing to "Thimbleriggery" as the place where the story resumes. But wasn't there a chapter that came after that.

Yeah, and I'm going to start things off tomorrow by posting a new version of that chapter. It won't change the fundamental direction of the story, and in fact only parts of the chapter will get a revision. But I need to change it if I'm going to continue the story the way I want to continue it.
