I’d replied to a few comments on Ashwinder that I will be putting Cantata on hiatus again at the end of Part 1, then I realized I probably hadn’t made that a public announcement.
So that’s what this is: a public declaration that Cantata will be going on hiatus in about 5-7 chapters.
Part 1 does fall at a natural break. Precious little will be resolved by then; Part 2 binds up all the loose ends. At this moment, all except one of the actors have been presented. All villains have been on page. Part 2 abandons the week-by-week structure; it will move more quickly (at least it feels quicker in reading and it’s more actiony and less charactery).
