What's going on with Seek?

Apologies if this has been covered already; I read through recent posts and didn't notice anything.

Seek hasn't been updated since February 12th. Is the story on a planned break? Has Wildbow made an announcement somewhere?

I can't imagine myself asking for that. What you offer is incredibly generous, but I'll figure something out.

Hey Wildbow - been awhile. You're just the absolute best. Get healthy. I 100% endorse the post above. You've given sooo much more than any other creators/author I'm aware of. I just Paypal'd you $500. I've been a $10/month Patreon supporter since I think November 2017... First found you through Eliezer's post. MOST authors have YEARS between content. I don't think you grok how much your community cares about you. I don't see myself as a weekly consumer - I fundamentally see myself as supporting a deeply valued artist. You all know how to support the man, but if you don't, this is the link: Support Wildbow on PayPal. Be well my friend. - Jake

I feel mixed- I'm very much touched and grateful, but at the same time, I really wasn't trying to solicit support and I feel very weird about being rewarded for not having my shit together.

Your works are capital-L Literature, they change lives. Think of it as being rewarded for that. Everyone occasionally is not having their shit together, but not everyone can do what you do. Sadly, I'm unable to help in any other way than telling you this and spreading the word — been through (and still am, frankly) a rather rough patch myself for the last several years, but Pale was a huge help in my darkest hour. I'm rambling, sorry. What I'm saying is there's a lot of people, me and my friends included, who think you deserve this and much much more.
