Newly enhanced versions + fun poll for chapters 1 - 10 of The Guy On The Chiefs available! If you happened to have read them already, and you are rereading, let me know if you can tell the differences! Some chapters are very subtle differences, and others have very obvious differences!

Im curious as to why the same chapter or story keeps getting posted multiple times??

alchemypoet

@ChristinaSmith424 Yeah, I understand it can be disappointing. It will be like that for a little while. I'm sorry.

@ChristinaSmith424 It's totally my fault! I archived most of the chapters. Yesterday I was testing the "unarchiving" feature and then published it and archived it again today.
            
            Gelsenkirchen will not be published again. It's staying put at last. 
            
            However, sometimes I'm rereading my own work (yeah, I do that) and I notice typos. So, I might still "update" it. 
            
            I will unarchive the other chapters one by one — so you'll probably get more notifications on chapters you've already read. Sorry about that. I'm editing them again and making them better. It means a lot to me as an author. I know it's pretty inconvenient but I really felt like I needed to do this. My apologies.

@alchemypoet I understand thank you for explaining.....these stories along with yours are just so vital in getting me through that I get so excited getting a new update then notice its a repeat and just feel like "oh....darn" is all.

If you notice most chapters for The Guy On The Chiefs / Between The Lines are gone, don’t be alarmed. I’m reworking some things and I promise they will be back.
          
          I’ll be taking a little hiatus but I’ll be back with new and improved versions! 

alchemypoet

@anideaofsorts Yes! I would actually recommend that. These chapters are a little different. They are, in my humble opinion, improved versions of what was there before. I have also included the poll option at the end of each chapter which I just find fun...

Friendly reminder to all my writer friends: REVISE YOUR OUTLINE!
          
          I just found a HUGE plothole in my story's timeline while revising the outline for the last nine chapters of The Guy On The Chiefs. Thankfully caught in time so I can fix the scenes I already had planned out and so everything can make sense. Not sure anyone would notice it, but I eventually would and it would break my heart if I noticed too late...
          
          REVISE YOUR OUTLINES — EARLY AND OFTEN!

As part of the tradition I keep mostly for myself...
          
          Here are the scene titles for "Sep 27, 2026: Kansas City":
          
          Scene 1: Late Night Fun
          Scene 2: New Heights
          Scene 3: Paparazzi 
          Scene 4: Chief Executive Officer
          Scene 5: SuperBowl
          Scene 6: 1587
          
          That's gonna be it for chapter 32/40!

          Also! Just a small piece of information... I have cross-published this story on AO3. I created a Tayvis account on there with the same username (@alchemypoet). I will publish here all I publish there and vice-versa. This was just a heads up in case any of you prefers to read fic over there.

Deep question: what is the best day of the week to update? 
          
          Whenever? Friday? Saturday? Sunday?
          
          Does it make a difference? I’m just genuinely curious. I usually have more time to read (and write) on the weekends. Wondering if it was the same for everyone.

I don't know if you get notified by it or not, but I just updated all the chapters of The Guy On The Chiefs to now have a cover! It's something simple but it's a new thing I wanna start doing! Some of the covers are really cute! If you are curious, check them out!

alchemypoet

@anideaofsorts Yes, always a little something to tease what you are about to read from now on
