If such bitter enemies can hug, why can't we?

OK, so without angering the gods of update news, I'll just say that now that Arioch has his new Compy and such that I am hopeful things will start moving through the pipeline and into the comic soon.

Is it out of bounds to ask how much of the story Arioch has "fleshed out" and if there's stuff much further ahead that he hasn't decided on yet (as far at the story)?

I hope so too. Because the computer has been down for two weeks, I'm a bit backed up on (paying) work, but I'll catch up as quickly as I can.

The story arc is outlined from beginning to end. Some details change from the draft to the actual page (some characters and situations have become more complex), and dialogue usually isn't written until the actual page is done (because it changes to fit the panels as they're drawn), but the larger picture has remained pretty consistent up to this point. There is some room in the middle where I could add subplots if I felt the need to, but I suspect that won't be necessary.

Thanks for that, Arioch. Trying to pace myself through the Insider information to tide me over... very difficult to hold back. :-)

But it's very highly recommended. Subplots are the hallmark of any popular, long-running story. ;)

Of course you will! Faster computer mean faster art right?

Arioch, will there be more flashbacks showing what the crew of the Bellarmine was up to before it was attacked (i.e., training, more discussions of the Orgus contact, what Ellen and Alex did to get booted out of the bridge, etc.)? I realize some readers might think that those story-lines could go so that you can focus on the main story-line, but I think they are essential in making the story more "real" and the characters more believable.

I just hope he can find time and peace of mind to move the story along more regularly, and I couldn't be too upset with him if that filler was dropped in order to finish the comic before he turns 80 ;)

Do you also live in Brevard County? What part?
