Welcome back, Rain Beaus! :D

After over three months of no new story developments - the longest hiatus this comic has seen to date - we are back in business. I know a lot of you are going to tell me that I shouldn't worry about the downtime because you follow other webcomics that've had WAY longer radio silence (and may or may not have come back at all), but that doesn't change the fact that this is what I love. Writing is my life blood, and not being able to post has been hell for me.

I suppose I should give a small health update for anyone who may not have waited around during the last few months. If you didn't know, I went on hiatus back in July to have SRS (or GRS or GCS or whatever the kids are calling it these days; the male-to-female bottom surgery, in other words). I'm almost three months post-op as of this writing, and I feel fine physically. I can do most of the things I could before, with a few lingering restrictions for a little while longer and some obvious anatomical limitations. It's a huge adjustment, for sure, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Honestly, as surgical recoveries go (this has been my third time having surgery), this has oddly been the easiest to recover from physically. I've struggled with a bit of post-surgery depression this time around, but I think I'm finally getting out of that.

(Also, I've said this in the past, but I'm super open and totally happy to answer questions about this. I know firsthand that finding information on this subject can be tricky, and not everyone who has been through this is necessarily open to talking about it. And that's fine; no one should have to share if they don't want to. I like sharing though. I like being able to discuss this stuff. If you have a question, I'll absolutely answer if I can.) ^_^

Anyway, back on topic! :D

I promised that pages would resume next week, so I decided to post the chapter cover today. This way actual pages can resume next week. In case you missed the previous memo, we'll get this moving on Wednesday, October 26th, and posts will go up every Wednesday and Friday. I will eventually return to three posts a week, but I've got to sort some things out first. ^_^

As for the cover here, it's just a simple pic of Rain we've seen before, along with a new character, Rain's endocrinologist. For what it's worth, I wasn't sure how important this character would be overall, or how much they'd be seen in the story beyond this chapter. So I decided to "borrow" a character from one of my other stories. I just needed a doctor to fill the role, after all. So Deirdre Raviede here (previously a robotics expert from abandoned futuristic fantasy story of mine, Bleak Divinity), has crossed into the Rainverse to practice with medicine and hormones. If she becomes a big, important character, then she does. If not, I get to enjoy a little shoutout to an old work of mine that never really got off the ground. XD

Of course, this chapter won't focus solely on Rain (most of the cast will be in this one, in fact), and Deirdre won't be the only new character added to the roster. If you don't remember what's going on though, I do recommend taking this time to reread the last few chapters again. There will be no recap come Wednesday, so we can dive right into the action.

Until then, take care. I'll see you next week, Rain Beaus. ^_^
