Exactly.In my ideal scenario the sub never knows when or if
I get annoyed by captioning that mentions “release on your birthday” (what about... friends and relatives?) or “release in two weeks, but I'll add a day if you don't do... the dishes.” (!)
I can see how it might be exciting for the readers, but not for the character. The character will be bored, resigned, lacking enthusiasm for all the time already scheduled!
I agree, too, that it is much more effective if a potential release could happen any day, any time. That way, any minute could be “the magic one” and he would be perpetually on tension.
