Begging for Snippets with Larry

Ok, my own "beg" (to the tune of Joy to the World)

Joy to the Forum, a snippet’s come!
Let us receive our fix!
Let every laptop, prepare download room
And we will parse his prose,
New predictions to propose.
And our, and our, addiction grows!

Joy to Safehold, Cayleb still reigns,
With Sharleyan, of course!
Wyrshym’s canals will flood, his forces are boxed up,
BGV’s sneaking up,
His forces will erupt,
For Wyrshym, defeat will be a bitter cup!

No more let time between snips grow
Nor make the snips too short
Rather, please make
The snippets grow
Then we will be happy,
And parse some more, you’ll see!
Safeholdian tru-u-uth will set us free!

RFC rules, sometimes with grace,
His writings serve to prove
The glo-ries of his imagination,
And wonders of his prose,
But I for one, propose
More snips! More snips, before my psyche blows!

Excellent: Poet in residence

It's worked too - #12 has arrived!

So far they haven't been:
snippets delay (in days)
1-2 7
2-3 7
3-4 10
4-5 7
5-6 10
6-7 11
7-8 9
8-9 9
9-10 12
10-11 19 (due to vacation in Europe)
and we are now at 12 days since snippet eleven. Its time please

So now #12 has arrived in the very wee small hours of December. The question begs that having been just an hour after 00:00, do we count the difference as 13 or 14 days?

Nonetheless, the interval now averages at 9.5 and we have (hopefully) less than 365 days to the publisher's release. So that gives room for 38 more snippets - WOW!

NB: The above assumes a linear model and all here should realize that the AUTHOR is not now nor is ever likely to resemble anything linear! You are warned!

Well I counted it as 13, as I am using the date/time stamp for Arizona.

I now make it 335 days until publication, and it appears that the schedule is slipping to about 10-11 days each, so that gives us between 30-33 snippets, or a total of 43-46 snippets total. Note that there were a total of 35 snippets for LAMA, but it had a much shorter publication wait that HFQ does.
