Development News... Darkhawk Season Six will not achieve completion this year. There - I've said it. I'm not going to force the story-line just to meet some non-essential deadline, not with MoN-205 Flight 102 Is Overdue being in "mid-surge", a surge I would have to close down to come even close to cramming Season Six into the remaining five and a bit weeks of the year. It's just not going to happen - and the pressure of the deadline could be in part responsible for stumbles in Darkhawk production.

2011's Work Slot 1, in January, presents a good production slot for the final stages of "The Race To Reignfall". It could be that chapter 1 of that conclusion gets to be the first posted from Site B - The Race, for now, is running under waved yellow flags...

So, what about Flight 102 Is Overdue? Chapter 8 began production today, and in the words of a certain Seasick sage "it's all good". One problem, however, is the incident that brings Mane-of-Night into the story - or more correctly, was, as I'm thinking, as I type, that I may just have a solution... a very "Mariella" solution.

And then there's another small problem - where to post the new story? Eight chapters in, and Mane-of-Night hasn't even appeared yet, but this isn't a pure Traveller story, which would properly be posted at To Be Continued. "TBC" was never intended to be a high production rate project, but I would like to post more there. I've got quite a "suite" of characters "signed up" to appear there - but this story has Mane-of-Night as its "headliner", so it's her show...

...when she manages to show up. However, these are events that need to be properly chronicled, so nothing is going to be hurried. When Worlds Collide comes around, you will understand, dear reader.

I will probably post the first chapter of Flight 102 Is Overdue tomorrow night, and continue on a standard release schedule (one chapter every two days).

Meanwhile... Rush play the SECC on May 14th! Tickets on sale on Friday! Do I need to say "I'm totally there"...?

The "For Sale" sign is up.

The Move is most definitely "GO" - and that, dear reader, is why 2010 had been "The Year Of Change". I knew this was coming, but still... coming home to see that sign in the garden made it all a bit more real.

Development News... This should have been my "top of the news" today, but my other, unanticipated (yet still expected) news kinda took precedence - I may just have a 10-chapter "route-map" to the conclusion of Darkhawk Season Six; a route-map that CAN be completed, conclusion included, by year's end. It's time for another "push", Darkhawk fans - just the kind of thing I would have been doing in my student-counting "down-time" if I wasn't otherwise employed (and that's a situation that doesn't look like it's likely to change soon).

In closing... I'm actually glad the sign went up when I wasn't there. That could very easily have been a major freak-out bomb...

Development News... That's it - TDD-608 The Pandemonicum Symphony - First Movement is finally complete! It's taken some doing, but this particular foundation has been laid, spawning several storylines for the present AND the future - tomorrow, a hefty dose of much-needed lunch-time plot-wrangling. Can Season Six be completed before year's end? Watch and see, dear reader...

In Today's Episode... The Pandemonicum Symphony: First Movement continues - has a moment of desperation saved lives, only to cost the heroes of the moment their lives? And in the grand scale of things, surely one life is inconsequential...

The Battle of Yituron continues.

Development News... Been typing up the stuff I'd been working on whilst travelling - still got some way to go, and there's still an entire section to write, but it will all be done before it's due to be posted. Count on it.

As for the "Season 6 Done By The End Of The Year" plan... well, I'll give it my best shot. This week should see some substantial development work for the rest of this story-arc, once outstanding writing duties are discharged. I have TEN weeks to go this year, and the "one chapter a week" thing just will NOT cut it. Stay tuned as we begin THE RACE TO REIGNFALL!

And finally...

Coming soon...


Coming sooner that you think...
