After a one month break for Summer Courses in 2012, JayDee has been averaging one comic a week.
L.J. Smith had a popular book series back in the nineties called Night World. The tenth (and last) book has been pushed back for over a decade due to her mother's death and loss of motivation. Now she has no plans to work on Strange Fate because the next Vampires Diaries books are under contract. The hilarious part? The books were building up to a massive battle on the millennium - which was ten years ago!

I noticed that there seems to be a lot of exceptions. Perhaps we should make an inverted trope of Schedule Slip?
Who keeps deleting the Order of the Stick update history for the past couple years?
Would book releases fall under this as well? I'm thinking of Isobelle Carmody and... well, any of her series. Example: the first book of the Obernewtyn series was released in 1987, the next few in 1990, 1995, 1998 and the latest in 2008. This is disregarding all the other series that she's started. Ta muchly.
Is it really fair to count things like Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series or Naruto The Abridged Series for this? They don't really have a schedule in the first place.

An interesting philosophical question- but I would wager overall, probably yeah. Anything that updates more lethargically as time goes on qualifies under the general implications of the trope.
See you in the discussion pages.
Do you need a schedule to slip? My understanding is that Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki never had one in the first place, being primarily written for the author's own amusement.
