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.

Coming Up for Air

Today's chapter—

* Interactive: "Dreams and Temptations"

* Public: "Dreams and Temptations"

—brings this branch to a halt. There's already some fun speculation in the forum about who is who and what is going on: "Commentary: Clover Mystery"

As I mentioned last time, I was commissioned to write 20 chapters in this area, and the just-suspended branch gave you 7 of them; the others will come in the form of two new branches, at other points in the storyline.

I don't want to leap directly into one of those other branches, though: I like to give people a palate cleanser between closely related storylines. Trouble is, I don't have anything to give you as a palate cleanser. I do have another commission I'm supposed to be working on, but I don't have anything written for it yet. I haven't even found a divergence point to graft it on to.

So I'm going to take a short break and not publish anything for a few days. (Probably three days; no more than a week.) That will give me a chance to get ahead in my writing (I've been day-by-daying it, sometimes writing a chapter in the hour before publishing it) and to also catch up on some other, too-long postponed chores. It will also give readers a chance to clear their heads. And to further help you all clear your minds of recent developments in the Clover Mystery storyline, I'll tell you where the next branch is going to appear, so that you can review the chapters that lead up to it without (I hope) getting confused by events that happen later.

The divergence will occur at the end of "Face-Time with a Cheerleader"

. Will has been badgered by Clover Mystery and by mystery dates, and he lately made a fool of himself in front of Chelsea Cooper and Maria Vasquez at a coffee shop. But the next night, when he returned there with Caleb, Chelsea made a point of telling him that she wanted to talk to him. In the main storyline, he did sit down to talk to her, and we've seen what came of that. But what happens if he bolts the coffee shop without talking to her?
