When is it starting?

I'm not a Keenspacer, but I live in the area, and I'd like to drop in and ask some questions for the webcomics history book I'm workin' on.

Is that okay?

She posted to http://pub5.ezboard.com/ffansoffansfrm1 not long ago, Alisin.

I know. I know. These boards move slightly slower than presidential elections. They ask for logins at weird intervals. They claim that I registered with them five years before I was even born. But there is hope. Gav, Keenspace and Keenspot Tech Supreme, is upgrading the lot of us to a board system t...

Keep watching this site, Aris... we should have something else that's appropriate for yours, in a little under five weeks.

Somebody asked me earlier what the ages of the FANS characters were. Here they are. (Remember that a little over a year of story time has passed since the first strip...) Rikk -- 21 Alisin -- 19 Rumy -- 19 Katherine -- 27 Shanna -- 27 Will -- 21 (close to 22) Guth -- 20 Stu -- 20 Tim -- 21 Jackie --...

Yes.

For the record, I read Guns of the South and How Few Remain before starting this story... and Greg is a huge Turtledove fan in general.

The "War of Northern Aggression" was there in the first draft. I use the phrase occasionally, just to annoy Greg. Not too much is in the comic about where the Fans are actually from. But for the record: Rikk, Katherine, Meighan, Tim, and Shanna are all from the urban South. Stu and Guth are from the...

It's Will. Rikk doesn't like Stu much, but he'd never joke about something like that.

The characters in today's strip are Will, Stu, Harry, and the Professor...

Actually, Meganeguard may be talking about Jamie Noguchi, who did a much darker manga turn in "Phantoms," the short story that kicked off Times of War...

It's Andrew Revell, Tom, sorry for the confusion. Also worth noting is that Greg and I co-wrote this chapter, instead of the usual writing-editing breakdown. I will get a credit line up to this effect soon...

Yep.

So long, Damon...

Just to clear this up for the benefit of anyone who's confused: a lot of Backslider's stuff that Lord Julius quotes above (about the propagandistic nature of the Proclamation) is followed by: That's one of the big lies we're taught in school concerning the Civil War and its repercussions... I'm pret...

The General prefers working with her own history, or "the alpha reality," as the starting point.

Then let me clear matters right UP, Tom... Gisele brought me on for FREE SPIRITS, edged me back out to conclude the alien story, and then brought me back IN for L'AGENCE VADO and everything thereafter. VADO was based on an early script of hers, and she's changed the course of the series on me now an...

There will be bonus pages this weekend, as well...

Are still here:

But just for a little while longer!

Odd. I know that Nate & co. are working on this, but the transitions have shaken things up some.
