Chas:
I won't say that my characters hinge on every word you've written, but I can truly say that without you, my character posts would only be half the posts they were meant to be. The rhetoric you write is absolutely perfect. Your characters interactions with others behave in a way that real people, and real superheroes, would. It is truly a joy for me to receive an email notification and see that you have posted a response to a thread I am writing in.
The truth is, I couldn't finish LDoK without you. Mine and your characters are so intertwined at this point, its almost as if they have their own lives. And to think, well, they kinda do. When I write Var-Sen, Manhunter, and lately Thor, I guess a part of me leaves the really real world for a bit and moves into this realm that Tears created for us. And I like it there. It's nice. And I feel I know the people there. That wouldn't be possible without you. You've taken my characters, Tears', Abraxas', Luna's, and everyone's and woven them all together. That kinda makes you the glue, the seamstress, the butter for the cookies.
This is something I would never normally write outside of a private conversation between you and me. Everyone knows I don't reveal personal feelings in the open forums, and I'm a pretty private person. But, I chose to post this here because I am fairly certain everyone else here feels the same way I do, and they can relate to what I'm trying to say.
We need you, Chas.
You make this fantasy world we write in all the more fantastic.
We'll be right here when you come back.









Coming of age in rural 1930s America with X-ray vision, the power to stop bullets, and the ability to fly isn’t exactly every boy’s story. So just how did Clark Kent, a shy farmer’s son, grow up to be the Man of Steel? Follow young Clark’s whirlwind journey from Kansas to New York City’s Daily Planet–by way Hollywood. This ace reporter is not the only person leading a double life in a teeming metropolis, just the only one able to leap tall buildings in a single bound–a skill that comes in handy when battling powerful criminal masterminds like scheming Lex Luthor and fascist robots. But can Clark’s Midwestern charm save the day and win the heart of stunning, seen-it-all newspaperwoman Lois Lane? Or is it a job for Superman? Look deep into the soul of a pop-culture legend brilliantly reimagined in this novel, which is as inventive and thrilling as it is touching and wise.
From Publishers Weekly
Brooks, the author of the determinedly straight-faced parody The Zombie Survival Guide (2003), returns in all seriousness to the zombie theme for his second outing, a future history in the style of Theodore Judson's Fitzpatrick's War. Brooks tells the story of the world's desperate battle against the zombie threat with a series of first-person accounts "as told to the author" by various characters around the world. A Chinese doctor encounters one of the earliest zombie cases at a time when the Chinese government is ruthlessly suppressing any information about the outbreak that will soon spread across the globe. The tale then follows the outbreak via testimony of smugglers, intelligence officials, military personnel and many others who struggle to defeat the zombie menace. Despite its implausible premise and choppy delivery, the novel is surprisingly hard to put down. The subtle, and not so subtle, jabs at various contemporary politicians and policies are an added bonus. (Sept.)

Where are my cups of tea and cookies? =(
Gotcha, Abraxas....we are conversing now.
In other news, I'm going to be on vacation the next few days, so I will catch up with you guys around Sunday.
Did I miss something?
Yeah didnt get it prior. Sall good though. So how about LDoK: Sins of the Past (Reflecting that the formation of our Outsiders may have in its own way caused our world to change and not just for the good)? or LDoK: The Birth of Justice (seeing that we would all be more on our way to forming something like the JLA rather than just kinda chillin around small town USA.)
