CHANGE LOG:

Known Issue - Formatting

Chapters are inconsistent in length are written in non-standard format.

Fix - Creation of a Weekly compiled version of story called "ITs (Not) Easy: Format Drive"

We understand that for some the story can be a little weird to follow in its current format as each chapter can vary from 500 words to 5000 words given the conversation occurring. When this story was devised the idea was to use the short format that lacked many of the usual conventions of a story to allow chapters to come out faster and allow for streamlined production. It was also meant in universe to act as an interesting storytelling device; readers would only be able to follow the story based on what has be captured in chat logs, emails and videotapes. However since many of these mediums are short in their length, such as emails, or have word count limits, like tweets or posts on forums, it becomes difficult for chapters to become longer naturally without sacrificing the soul of the story.

To this end, the team has decided to create an alternative by creating a weekly compiled story called "ITs (Not) Easy: Format Drive". This story will take chapters written over a week and compile them into one longer chapter that will hopefully capture an "arc."

So, why didn't we change the story going forward? Well the besides the reasons listed above, the idea is that this story is to be like an daily event; The chapters act as real time events. If an email comes out, then that email was written that day. If two chapters are posted on the same day, then they happened in that day. If no chapter comes out in a week then nothing notable happened that week in the character's life. It's an idea the team poorly adapted from CollegeFool's idea for some of their stories that we adored.

Think of this new story as a quality of life improvement, while you can follow along in the daily antics as Beacon, you now have the option of getting a weekly compilation of the events. Please enjoy this change we have made, as the team tried to find a way to please both sets of fans to our story.

CLOSING THOUGHTS:

Thank you again for everyone reading this story. Our team originally made this story with the goal of just doing something fun and short that pays homage to online stories I love like "Anon Works IT" and "The IT Wizard". We didn't want to have to have to release any of these patches, but we wanted fans to enjoy the work and feel like they are being heard. So thank you all to all those sticking with us. Please look forward to what we have in store in the future of "ITs (Not) Easy."
