Hi. I'm Madiha. Dropping the tone of the account for this thread. I've been unwell-- I've had the sort of physical ailment where, I will feel better, tell you all a date when things will happen again, and then relapse, get bedridden, and fail to do the work I wish I was doing.

I have been unable to work on the next chapter as much I would like to. Not only that, but I am not satisfied with its current state. This all hit at a bad time where the story is ramping up certain events, and I feel like if I just "kick out what I have" I will not be satisfied.

To me, Unjust Depths is something I do for creative fulfillment. I like to write new things and I like push myself with new storylines. I have never liked the idea of "just send it because the deadline is up" but I've had to, several times. I accepted this as part of the format.

The deadlines for serial work are a way to build up attention-- to get people to "tune in" at a certain time, and to get them hyped to come back and see "the exciting conclusion." Sliding from weekly to twice monthly was kind of painful in this regard, but necessary.

When I started doing this sort of thing, and became enamored with this format, I was in my 20s, didn't have any health problems, and didn't have a job. I'm 35, and from where I sit there appear to be several doctors and specialists visits in my future, along with my day job.

I am no longer capable of keeping up with the grind, so I am no longer going to. I am going to keep writing the way I write, and writing Unjust Depths, and I am going to enjoy it. The site has an RSS feed (scroll to the bottom of any page). You can use that from now on.

I am not selling a product, so there is no reason to practice my art in a way that is stressful to me, annoying for you who keep seeing dates pushed back and expectations dashed, and ultimately just doesn't work with the way I live my life now or how I write anymore.

Whether Unjust Depths updates monthly, weekly, twice a month, or perhaps even as a big chunk of chapters "seasonally" will be up to whether I have things I'm excited to share, proud to have written, and how my health and stamina are holding up to the task.

As part of this, I don't want to promote Unjust Depths on social media anymore like I used to. It's always been really exhausting for me. I'm not good with people and I am very bad at marketing. gestures vaguely at this account So I will have the readers I have now, that's it.

I do not prescribe a moral valence to your responses to this. You can be mad if you want to. You can go "oh this is never going to finish" and stop reading in disappointment. You can be annoyed that I won't tell you explicitly when I upload something. That's all fine with me.

At any rate, I do hope you will keep reading the story because I like to entertain people, or I just wouldn't post stuff where anyone can see it. I just don't like all the related things surrounding "one person entertaining a crowd" so to speak. I hope you keep having fun.

Anyway, as salaam alaykum.
