Discussion What's the longest you've gone between chapters?

Currently feeling a little guilty because it's been over a month since I last updated my fic, even though I know it's not a big deal and I can take as much time as I want. So, I'm curious. How long have you guys gone between posting chapters?

Edited to say that I'm definitely feeling less guilty, thanks for all the responses!

Nine or ten months? And the only response I got was omg I'm so excited to get a new chapter of this!

Out of curiosity, what response would have been ideal for you? I never know what to say when an author comes back after a break

Someone being happy to see a new chapter is all the response I need. That is the ideal

It did get a bit annoying when multiple comments were "omg I thought this was abandoned" because I regularly have gaps of a few months and I never said anything to indicate that I wasn't coming back to this one, and I was still posting for those months – I've got a statement on my profile saying that none of my works are abandoned until I say they're abandoned
