A three-year dig needs a crew

88 chapters and counting is too long a story to tell alone. Here is how the people watching shape what gets made — and every place the story shows up.

How you steer it

  • The comments reroute the dig

    Most arcs are still being actively mined for new chapters, not pre-filled to a fixed count. When an episode strikes a nerve, we halt the queue and cut two or three more layers right where you’re digging.

  • Corrections are credited

    Fitting 4.54 billion years into short chapters means we will get things wrong. Catch one and the fix lands in a later chapter’s notes, with your name on it.

  • Polls pick the detours

    Recurring formats — era bestiaries, “The Worst Day” disaster specials, deep-time postcards — go to a community vote before they’re cut.

  • No spoilers, no skipping

    The story is told in order, one layer at a time. What happens next stays buried until its chapter comes up.
