Grats on getting the book done, Mercedes!  I'm sure it will be as good as the rest are.   :D

Take some time to rest and relax.  We'll all be here when you get back.  The proposal can wait a few.  Don't overdo it or you're going to keel right over one of these days.

I'll be keeping an eye on this space. Also, her website occasionally has stuff not CoH related. ;)
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

This was number (mumble) in the Elemental Masters series from DAW books.  This one is called "Steadfast."

Technically.... If they allowed you to give it in at midnight, I don't think they would have done much with it by 6AM :P

Deadlines at midnight always made me skeptic. I mean, who is working between midnight and 6 AM ?
Yeeessss....

Me! for a third one in this thread. though I need to start Actually Working during that time and not just doing research.. last night I did some research on other games that link to the one I'm making to see if I could take any concepts from them... but they were garbage and not worth my effort... I might use some of the items, but still gosh thats 3 hours of my life I want back, those games were pitiful compared to what I'm working on..
There is always another way. But it might not work exactly like you may desire.

I often work nights from Midnight to 6 and beyond.  Been working night shift for years.
One way or another... Heroes will fly again!

I will be working on the new proposal starting today.  I figure it to take about a week.
I just realized that there's something that I've always meant to post here and I'm not sure why I haven't until now.

Thank you for all of the effort you've put in, and for all of the effort that I'm sure you will put in in the future.

I'm not certain that my friends and I will ever play City of Heroes again but I'm grateful that you're trying to make that happen.

Just had to throw another ME in there :) I actually find I get the most work done at this time.  Also congrats V.V on finishing the book!  May it sell and sell and sell, until their are no copies to be sold!(Because everyone will own one)

Goatz!   I hope it does well.   And thank you very much for all the work you're doing on behalf of our favorite game.

is it too much to ask for a general progress report? sorry to bug you but i know alot of us come back here every day sniffing for any progress we can find.

Of course there are people who work between midnight and 6 AM, especially those like writers, who just keep their time tables to themselves, and have deadlines far in between, and around-the-clock presence works, such as maintenant, or public service in general. My apologies.

What I meant is that people who are expecting something no later than midnight when asking for it several months ago are also the type to have office hours, and by no way are going to be handicapped by 6 hours late on the delivery.

Truly, that's being an ass. You can more easily sleep at those hours than work, so you'll be able to review the dam thing when I'll be sleeing in your work hours.

(That comment also doesn't apply if there is time zone difference. Midnight to 6 AM in the West Coast is rather early but workable here in Europe, for instance)
Yeeessss....

Yeah. I know some bank companies like that.

"wait so you say put the deposit in before midnight but it cant be processed outside business hours, which wont be until 7 am and ends at 5pm? So what is the difference between if I do it at midnight or 4 am or hell, even 8pm for that matter?"

You made me remember a service we have for corporate restaurant. You can recharge your account there by check or cash at the counter, but you can also go on the website and pay by credit card. Except that the website is open only Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm >_> Looks like even the servers have working hours.
Yeeessss....
