From:

I graciously accept your congratulations on the podfic, but am side-eying* the sequelbunny congrats. Mostly because the perfectionist crocheter-and-pattern-maker in me is demanding that I actually make the patterns I'm thinking about, but my tendonitis is like HELL NO, do you even know how many fucking crochet stitches that would be. And then the logic part of my brain is all, If you were actually going to make them, you should probably include the patterns in the fic, make individual chapters for each recipient; and the enthusiastic part of me adds, then you can make/write/post them in the appropriate zodiac phase! Then logic adds, You have got to be fucking kidding me, I'm with Tendonitis on this, I don't necessarily want to be tied down to one fic for a whole year - possibly more, because you're thinking about giving the kids stuff too, and what would you even give them, I ask you?

And yeah. It's a bit of a mess? I mean, even if I skip making the actual things, I still need to decide what to give the kids, and also if I'm shipping Tavros with anyone in this fic and if so who(Stitch Two Together has hints of Gam → Tav, but there's nothing that says I have to stick with that or even do any shipping at all in the hypothetical sequel), and I really wasn't planning on devoting myself to writing anything until February. Though since my tendonitis is acting up now anyway... Actually, adding a math game to the mix probably wouldn't help my tendonitis at all, so still probably waiting until February.

* Really? That's really how it's spelled? I am so checking the dictionary to make sure that's the case. I mean, that was apparently my instinctual spelling choice, but still!
