I’m still working on Chapter 35, and it’s probably at least a week out from being properly finished. I was thinking about splitting it up, the way I did with 33, but there’s only one obvious point at which to split it, and it’s rather a dark scene.

So, if you would indulge me in a poll, should I…?

voting selfishly because I'm having to drop the Patreon temporarily in September because no money

Nova Collective

As destiny 2 leak enjoyers we have to be consistent here and vote for dropping part one right now

Fantastical Alice

I vote drop it later, don't rush yourself or anything

Julie

Drop it. People can just not read it if they're not into dark endings. :p

Olivia Irene

Don’t push yourself to rush a release out. Later works just fine!

DeusExMarina

I’m voting on holding off. Dropping it now would just make it more complicated if you need to go back and edit stuff from the first half of the chapter.

Jennifer May

Whatever you’re most comfortable with!!! But seriously if this one takes longer in the oven due to chronic pain that’s okay by me. Please just take care of yourself Alyson!

Pope Guilty

I will basically always favor the "it's done when it's done" approach.

Skye

Oof, hard question. Agh, I'm sorry, I'm voting for dropping the first part now. 🙏

Ken

Either way is great, but we're all fine with whatever you think is best!

Roo

Tough decision indeed. However, I just discovered the deep and wide ocean of Dorley fanfiction - so I can wait!

Emory Ahlberg

Don't rush excellence is my motto. 💖

DeusExMarina

Strangler in a Strange Land is a goddamn masterpiece and I will die on that hill, most likely at Amber’s hand.

Tamsin Davis-Langley

You should do whichever you want, of course. I voted (against my own desires) to hold off on the release, but I won’t be mad either way.

Lily Valentine

You've had a stressful few months and this chapter has been rough on you. Take care of yourself and take the extra time.

Claire Christenson

Can you drop some of your faves? I just recently caught up with Dorley and I'd love the extra content!

Claire Christenson

As much as I want more Dorley right now, I vote to wait and release the whole chapter when it's ready. Both so the story beat can be all in one piece and so you can freely go back and edit in the first half as needed until then.

Maggie Heels

Voting for hold... cause I do not want to end reading with a dark scene... ❣️❣️❣️

DeusExMarina

Other than the aforementioned Strangler, which is a must-read, the best fic I’ve read by far has to be Things We Can’t Say, which tragically only has two chapters, but they’re so damn good. I also quite liked Negative Time Glitch, which is an absolutely adorable one-shot. And if you’re looking for something longer, Dorleypilled is a fan sequel following a new intake that does a pretty darn good job of reproducing the Dorley experience. You can find all of these on Ao3.

Vyria Durav

I voted but also whatever is best for you and your well-being

Audrey Trent

I vote we concentrate our time and effort on building a real life Dorley

Claire Christenson

I'm caught up with all but Dorleypilled thanks to your suggestions! I'm glad others have worked to expand the world of Dorley.
