The results of the poll were... tied. Taking into account what a few people said to me personally over IMs and other channels, the responses were so mixed I couldn't come to any conclusion. Most early voters wanted the chapters up as they were finished, while the more patient responders (who, coincidentally, responded later) were willing to wait until I'd gone over everything with a fine toothed comb.
Thus the poll really didn't answer anything, did it? It left me right back where I was before...
Except that now, I've made up my mind how I'm going to handle it. I'm going to mix the responses together. I'm going to get a few more chapters done first, and then I will start releasing chapters of New Breed: Book 2. What I will do is stay ahead of my chapters by roughly 3 (varying depending on how "done" I think an individual chapter is) so that I have plenty of time to go over each one. When the newest chapter is "done", I'll post a new one that's been edited and what-not. This will keep me three chapters ahead (roughly), but still have a release schedule that is "when it's done". A combination of both aspects...
I'm sure someone won't be happy with this solution, but it's should prevent having to wait until mid-summer sometime when I finally think I can put everything out on a bi-weekly basis or what-not.
As an aside note, Book 2 will also have a new splash image from Kloudmutt. I haven't shown it off yet (a friend of mine commissioned it), but I hope you'll like it when I do show it off. I don't plan to put all sorts of title overlays on it and whatnot as of yet, but that could change depending on how it goes. For now, comments are welcome, as always. And for those who are concerned, don't be, it is a CLEAN Kloudmutt pic.
