I Checked My Email Today Because I Was Busy Trying To Fix Something, And Although I Didnt Get Anything

Just asking and I hope it's not rude (if it is just ignore it) but do you have any idea of how your posting schedule will look like now (as in will the next chapter be out in 1-2 months or 8)? Are you doing better?

All the best<33

Hi! I'm doing alright now, not 100%, but I'm definitely not going to be gone for that long again. Ideally I would like my schedule to be something like an update every 10-14 days, though it's hard to really set that in motion with everything I have going on. Once everything settles down around me, I'll work on being more consistent with the updates!

Hello honeybumi!

How much of the story have we covered so far? Like are we somewhere in the first half, second half etc

Waiting for the next update like my life depends on it❤️

Hello!!

We are about a third of the way into the story! So we're basically entering the second act now that Ango is officially forming part of the cast and there's a LOT to cover in this part. The first part focused on Chuuya getting himself integrated with the happenings of the crew and now that Ango is here we're finally getting some answers!!

Ahhh help I just noticed you have the "angst with a happy ending" tag on your story. How angsty are we talking about? Should I prepare myself ?

You're amazing btw

See my first instinct was to answer this with a "don't worry, it won't be too bad!" response but then I started thinking about it and well...

Dazai's backstory, once it's fully fleshed out, will definitely fit that category and then there's going to be some events later on that hmm...

I'm a sucker for happy endings though! No matter what, there will be hope at the end of the tunnel so just remember that <3

checking up !!! how are you doing??

Hi again!! To be completely honest.. not so great but I hope to feel better soon! Regarding the fic, the update is in its editing stage but I want to be in the right headspace to finish it.

Hiiiiii i hope u r doing well ummm i've got some questions if its not a bother soooooooo , is there a chapter or a scene ahead in the story that you r nervous about ( i dont know if someone has asked this question before ) and are we geetting any kousano in the future chapters ♡(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)♡

Hi!! Of course it's not a bother!

There are a few scenes I'm nervous about and one of them pertains to Dazai's backstory. Lately I've been outlining how it's going to be weaved into the story and as I was going through my notes it suddenly hit me that I've never written anything as tragic before, at least not to that degree. So I'm nervous about how the finished product will look like and the reaction.

And then there's the second thing, which is that there will eventually be content (as promised in the tags) that will cause the fic to have a change in content rating and that's definitely something I've never written before.

However, despite being nervous, I'm also looking forward to the challenge!

As for the kousano content, I'm sorry to say that there will only be breadcrumbs at best. I did toy with the idea of making it a tagged ship in the beginning, but once I planned out the story, it didn’t end up fitting the narrative.

Can you tell us some random fun facts about Dazai’s pirate crew? You don’t have to spoil anything, just whatever you’re comfortable with sharing! Missing the fic like a limb so it would be fun to have trivia to read while we wait!

Of course!! Here's a few:

Viko has everyone in the crew beat in terms of physical strength. However, despite being the tallest and broadest, he's not the best fighter among them. That title has been held by Dazai for quite some time.

No one in the crew has been able to beat Dazai in a duel, though this could change with the addition of the newest member.

Despite Dazai's sobriety, the ship has alcohol in its stores and the crew is free to consume it.

Chuuya was the first member of the crew to be personally invited to join by the captain since the initial crew was formed. Other members were added through a referral from an existing member and subjected to Dazai's scrutiny.

Poe and Ranpo knew each other before joining the crew and they form part of the original group. Although reluctant to allow animals on board, their refusal to join unless Karl came with them made Dazai relent.

There are two areas of the ship that houses the crew. One is in the back of the ship and has the rooms where Poe & Ranpo, Aku & Atsushi, and Gin & Yosano sleep and the other one is a broader area near the front of the ship where the rest stay.

Haru's full name is "Hikaru" but he chose to go by a shorter name to better suit his life as a pirate.

Hey honeybumi!!

I hope the AO3 curse will fade away asap (jokes aside I really do wish you all the best and I'm manifesting that you will feel better)

Hopefully you had wonderful holidays!!

Happy new year too!! 🌠🎇

Can't wait for the new chapter, no matter when it comes out i WILL be there for it, just finished re-reading the fic for the 4th time. I love you for writing this<3

Thank you :)

Hi! I’m SO sorry I missed this but tysm!! This made me so happy :)

I’m also so, so sorry this hiatus is dragging out this long… but the wait is almost over!! The update is over 10k so I’m finding myself rewriting and editing things I wrote weeks ago (hence why the word count just keeps growing lol) and it feels like I’m stuck in a never ending cycle but it’s coming together bit by bit.

Hi honey! (Can we call you honey lol) do you have a playlist for your pirate fic? I just binged in one go recently and I’m getting withdrawals already 😅 FANTASTIC work, btw

Hi! That’s so sweet, I don’t mind the nickname at all <3

Sadly, I don’t :( though I love the idea of having one!

But if the fic did have a playlist, this song would be included:

Feel free to send any suggestions!
