Gosh, it's good to have you back, VV. You were missed.

What an awful pile of horrific experiences you've amassed over the last couple of years. If karma exists, you're certainly overdue for a truckload of the good sort.

I certainly hope that SOON (tm) as well as COHReborn and/or COH2.0 and/or COT and/or any or all of the other potential successors will be a small part of that good karma.

I am so looking forward to SOON/Paragon Chat.  I've already started spreading the word among old friends and pointing them here.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

Hi, VV!

I was on the bus around this time last year and I saw a woman reading one of your books.  I can't remember which but I had to nerd out to her and say that I used to game with you lol.  She kind of gave me a look like CoH isn't something you would possibly  do and that I must be thinking of R.L. Stine or someone else entirely.  Ah to be a gamer is to be accustomed to being the only one who knows what you're talking about.

I'm sorry to hear about the string of mishaps and tragedies.  For these things to happen in succession especially to a kind soul like you cut me to the quick and my heart goes out to you at light speed.  Faster even.  I'm glad to see you posting again and maybe one day hopefully soon we can run some missions together!  Fingers crossed!

I know I haven't logged into Titan for a very long time (two years).

First, I got very, very, very sick with some form of influenza.  At that point I turned Hail Mary over to Rae and Quinch.  They had access to everything I had.

Then my mother died.

Then our housekeeper stole my ATM card and the PIN number that had come in the mail to our savings account and wiped it out.  The police investigated and she claimed Larry had given it to her because they were having an affair.  The Credit Union used this to decline to reimburse us.  Several lawyers told us the case was unwinnable, because the Credit Union (TCCU) would continue to appeal even if we won. wiping out any money we might get back.

Then Larry's mother developed a brain tumor, requiring him to spend months in Vegas to help his dad.  She was operated on and the operation was a success but....

....she developed Alzheimer's Dementia and went into a rapid decline and died this time last year.

I considered trying to revive Hail Mary, but decided not to given (a) the number of gaming studios that had closed and (b) that I had just started a writing project for Hyperion/Disney that was taking up all my "spare" time and became this:  http://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Mercedes-Lackey/dp/1484707842

I've been part of the testing group for SOON(TM) recently, and I'm glad it is very very close to implementation.  I can't wait to get my old RP buddies together and see my toon herd again.

Sorry I haven't been around but I hope the above are reasons enough.

SOON(TM) ?

Did you hear about that writer, Datsun Lake?  Well, I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that she was secretly writting another book.

I might have gotten the first name of the writer incorrect in that previous post.  I appologize.
It should have been:

Toyota Lake,
Chevy Lake,
Ford D. Lake,
Buick Lake,
BMW Lake,
Mercurochrome Lake,
McShady's Lake,
Cadilliac Lake (on the Cadilliac Ranch),
or
Mercury Lake.

I'm almost hazey that it might have been one of them.

The serious answer to the question: not only more books, but this.

Yup, "Super Fire Dragon's fun house of chat" will feature costumes, flying around, torches and chat.
It will be like we are all level 50's, before the incarnate stuff.

Except, we gotz no money and no newbies to gift it to either.
