I've never really liked opening standalone chapters — aside from just feeling too embarrassed and thin-skinned, standalone chapters also drag down your average subscription count. If not for these past few standalone chapters, my average would probably be at three thousand by now. Heh.
But seeing the vote gap behind us closing in, I'm honestly getting pretty anxious. I'm practically begging all of you ladies and gentlemen — while there's still a hundred-vote cushion, please help widen the gap, so we don't end up sweating bullets when it drops to just a few dozen votes later.
I'm putting today's four-chapter release on the line — please, monthly votes! rs
