I've been having a think about my priorities.
The Beard Bunker has always been something that is written purely for fun. We try to keep to a schedule, because without schedules nothing ever happens, but ultimately it's a hobby project that has to fit in alongside work, writing other things, volunteering, et cetera. Between doing the photography and the writing, I find producing the average post takes the better part of a day. Since the number of Bunkerettes who are currently able to post has steadily dwindled, this means that myself and Tom are writing the bulk of the content. This is not a source of resentment; no-one's being paid, and no-one's under obligation, but writing said content is, unfortunately, eating too much of our time.
We both feel we could comfortably write one post a month. If we each do that, this means the Bunker could healthily sustain a fortnightly schedule, rather than the weekly pace we've historically aimed for.
It's worth saying that nothing dramatic is occurring within our gaming group; all the Bunkerettes are still regularly hanging out and playing games. I very much hope that you'll see more than just Tom and myself posting here, since I think the Bunker is greatly enriched by having a variety of voices. This is merely an adjustment.
What is annoying is that today's post was going to be an actual post. We finished the 18-month-long war in the Lachesis system over the weekend, and I'd love to have provided you with some narrative 40K goodness, but such efforts were torpedoed by a power cut that lasted from this morning through to the late afternoon. Power grid willing, I shall return next week with something more interesting than a scheduling change.
We will, thereafter, become a fortnightly experience.
See you next week, and thank you for being such a charming crowd of readers and commenters!
