The system says RFC logged in at 4am this morning....
Probably putting our lamentations into his frustration and anguish maximization computer model.... zero snippets would not maximize anguish, you need some actual intermittent reinforcement to do that....so far it seems like his system is closing in on the maximum anguish distribution quite efficiently...

If he gets any better at maximizing anguish he should stop writing and just go work for comcast support or the DMV, I hear they pay really well for that sort of anguish efficiency.

Not on the author it ain't and I'd rather he was using the time to get another mainline Honor book out. ...

Personally, I'd rather he be working on the next Safehold book. If he could get it turned in by September or so, there would at least be slim chance TOR could get it published by Christmas 2017. :(

It would be easier to eliminate Amazon than the need for authors.

I'd be willing to bet that this thread is one of the least likely to be read by RFC. I'm sure he follows the comments in every snippet's thread rather closely - although I wouldn't advocate begging there!

This thread is sort of a running joke among us readers, which gives us a chance to express our impatience until the next snippet arrives, while giving RFC the backhanded compliment that we love his books and can't wait to read more of them.

But seriously, no whining until April 10th or so... especially since the last snippet was so long, which I really appreciated since we got almost the entire scene, which leads to less frantic speculation.

Frankly, I was surprised that that RFC didn't end with a cliffhanger... ;)

Question:

Are we (technically) on the 14 day feeding program?

Anyone else has problems with time perception?

RFC posts a snippet, i sleep two or three times and I'm 100% sure that by now rfc must have postet another snippet because it had been weeks since the last one...

Would it be too mutch to ask the easater bunny for a snippet instead of a chocolat bunny?
