Hard SF is overrated. I will pierce the heavens with my chainsaw!

But keeping it hard is kind of the point...

The Mekantans and the things they're directly responsible for are the only things that get to rape the laws of physics...

Nope. It costs £9 a pop to produce one book, as it's a limited run on very expensive printing stock. I'll make around £2.50 per unit sold. No free copies.

Don't suppose it's possible to get a copy stateside? ;)

Is it going to be a mostly hard SF NS with the same mindset of the Mekantans?

I thought I would never never ever hear Mekanta admit he is having a problem keeping it hard, what with his reputation on NS and here...

Seriously, I am writing the inactivity this forum (and NS) off as one of the seasonal declines that occurs every year. Christmas vacation, Summer finals and end of school, Spring Break, and other holidays have always been marked by a decline in activity.

For my part, it's mostly post-Con Season burnout. Not only did I have my own army to paint for DieCon, I also painted a decent chunk of prize support for 'em. Throw the fact that I was Volunteer Coordinator for an art fair, and I was pretty overloaded. Now that both are over with, I'm just kinda basking in the fact that I don't have to do anything.

Well, except find a job.

Heap of RL issues on my plate atm ... that when combined with playing a few games competitively leaves me with no energy for RPin. Or even editing the stuff I should be.

It'll change in the next month though, thankfully.

I check in every so often, but I don't really have interest in posting to most topics. That's p cool about you making a graphic novel, Mindset.
