"I might as well add Camp Here & There to my tags since I finished it"
And then I immediately came across this lol
No joke I had just finished the 1st season less than a month ago and today I decided to finally get off my ass and go add it to my tags, which I hadn't done previously for the sake of avoiding spoilers, and then stumbled upon this
Very Awesome. I know what I'll be doing this June.
Hello, friends!
I have been doing steady work behind the scenes, and I am ready now! I am proud to announce that…
For those out of the loop: The first time I tried to set a date in 2023, my life was derailed significantly very soon thereafter in a series of mishappenings. It's taken me some time to get back on the horse, but I am back now, stronger, and here for good. Watch out, I am coming a'galloping!
I am very excited for this junction and for the return of these beloved characters. I believe that the writing for this season is some of my best work, and I am so wicked excited to produce that I can barely hold my joy.
See you all in June!

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.

There was a reviewer or commenter who said "I always keep track of how many mistakes the protagonist makes and after three, I stop reading the story and never look back".
I think about that person pretty frequently. We read for our own enjoyment, and therefore there's no wrong way to read a book so long as you're enjoying yourself, but ... maybe I don't actually believe that. Maybe there are wrong ways to read a book, and this guy found one.
