I didn't know they sold that at Deseret Book...

They must hide it from me.

Okay, time's up. You've all had a couple of weeks to read it, so now you should be done and give me feedback. Pencils down, and hand in your reports.

Sorry for the delay. I've been out of town having too much fun... I'll send it Fri or Sat.

As referenced in the Happy Things thread: Fell! You're leaving me hanging here! I only had up to p. 222 (or something). I don't have the end!

What? This must not be! I'll send you the full version post haste. Must have gotten screwed up somehow.

Actually Stacer, I think that's how it's supposed to end.  It symbolic of the uncertainty of life.

Kind of like Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

Sorry, Fell. It's been done.

The manuscript is in the mail and off to WotC. I should have a book contract by this time next week, and a multi-million dollar movie deal a few days after that.

Thanks to everyone who read and gave comments. I think the book is much stronger now.

...and May 2006 rolls around...
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Shoot. And I finally got Word. Well, I'll send my comments anyway--and I did give you them in person, so maybe you remembered them as you did the revision?  ???

That's awesome to have it out, though. I hope it finds an audience--I really liked it.  :)

Umm...Wizards hasn't actually bought the book Chimera they're just actually reading it.  

Personally I'm waiting for the Blacker Darkness D20 supplement.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding.

They're actually going to base the entire 2006 block of Magic expansions around Blacker Darkness. That's more than 600 cards that literally do nothing.
