Office Politics Schedule Update: The story is progressing... but NovelAI's server keeps timing out on me... My PC is working fine, upload and download speed is good and all my other programs are working fine, but it seems like NovelAI's website is experiencing some backend issues and the timing for actually being able to create images is very sporadic. I'll have something to show on Wednesday for Office Politics- at least 20 images I'm sure, but I just plain don't know if I'll be able to finish by the end of Wednesday. Which is really frustrating because so many of the shots are very easy character shots that are just taking forever because I can't fine tune them properly. I've only been able to generate about... 60-70 times in the last four hours? Per image, it sometimes takes dozens of generations just to find a seed worth fine-tuning, then I'll make anywhere from 5-20 variations of that image to get enough "parts" to put a picture together with. Because this particular Chapter is so simple, I've been making progress, but if this was Gyaru I'd be screwed. I'm feeling like the slowdown is causing me to accept images quicker instead of trying for better variations, which is very dangerous territory for a quality-freak like me. So anyways, it'll be done when it gets done. I doubt it will be any later than Thursday, but the servers are being aggressively terrible right now. FOR THOSE IN THE FAST-PASS/ DONATION TIERS- Don't worry, I'll send you guys the dropbox link for the Office Politics Part 3 story in a DM tomorrow (Wednesday.) So even if I'm not finished by Wednesday and your sub expires at the end of the month, or if you choose to unsub/ lower your tier for February, you'll still have the link for Office Politics part 3 ready to go for when I'm able to post it in full. Sorry about the inconvenience guys, I've been sitting here staring at loading screens for hours trying to get this done since Sunday. I really hope this issue gets fixed soon, because this could be a real problem going forward.
