It gives me no pleasure to inform you, gentle reader, that any updates to As Time Passes will have to go on hold for some time. I am very ill with mononucleosis to the point where I cannot sit up without assistance or support. I know not how long this will last, but your reviews will give me comfort and keep As Time Passes in the forefront of my mind (as my ability to think is quite limited when my mind is fevered).

On the subject of reviews, I'm a little disheartened by the low reviews to alerts ratio. I realize you are busy, but each chapter does not disappear immediately after reading. It is perfectly possible to return to the chapter and leave a review at a later date. I know of a lot of writers have a review quota—that is, that is, require X number of reviews before posting the next chapter. I believe this is unfair to those gentle readers who actually do review. Instead, I'm going to put up a review incentive. If after this date you review any chapter, I will send you an email with the complete set of reference maps I've done, which includes (but is not limited to) a political map of Albion based on both the series and reasonable history. You're totally free to use the maps so long as you make no profit on them (which I doubt is possible). When you review (assuming you want the maps), tell me whether you want the maps in .gif or .xcf (GIMP) format.
