    If you were looking at the shirts I sell...

    ... they're about to go away. My shirt printer is retiring, and I have no replacement.

    After May 5 I'm going to take down the online order links on my little business's online store, and after this summer I'll clear out of whatever shirts I have left.

    So if you'd noticed any of these before, now's effectively the last chance.

    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

Shipments crawl along... · 2:47am Feb 24th, 2023

Since conventions resumed (and I had a stomach bug), shipping has slowed a bit. Roughly speaking we're at 70% shipped, not counting the handful of re-shipments I've been making to correct mistakes.

(As it happens I've caught one mistake before it went out- one of you ordered in the Kickstarter and then ordered TWICE through WLP Comics' online store, and I didn't catch it. So one lucky Canadian is going to get THREE copies of the hardcover...)

Anyway, most of the domestic shipments have either gone out or are printed up to be packed and shipped as I have time, energy and opportunity. International orders have lagged, because even with pre-making customs forms, getting them posted at the rural post offices I use is time-consuming.

As I type this there are sixteen shipments that I haven't even made tags for. (That'll happen next week, as I need to get to bed shortly to wake up at 4 AM for a small convention in Fort Worth. Ah, the glory of being a fandom vendor...) I have most of March off, though, so the last package should leave here before the end of that month.

HOWEVER- there are six of you who NEVER gave me ANY shipping address. You didn't answer the survey or email me or anything. And I'm tempted to start naming names...

Anyway, once all the shipping is done (ending with getting copies to the artists), I'll announce how many hardcovers and artbooks remain of the overflow supply. NEITHER ONE WILL EVER BE REPRINTED. I intend to keep the paperback in print provided ongoing sales justify it, but the hardcover is just too expensive for reprints. And, of course, I don't want Private Division on my case over certain content in the artbook...

Finally, I've begun preparing for a Maretian Kickstarter, which will roll out once I have the first nine pieces of interior artwork in hand. Here's a little taste of that...

"Certain content"? Good luck with the artbook!

Ps. I hope you are as excited about KSP 2 as did your CSP!

Well... shit. Looks like I'm out of luck forever, since I lost the one slot I could afford back in the day because the Kickstarter apparently had to get restarted at a higher price...

Did i give you my address? I cant rember

5715059 Don't be so sure- I overprinted in case of misshipments, damage, etc.

5715114 I'll check when I get home.

5715051 Specifically, screen captures of the game.

I've been meaning to ask you if mine had been sent out. I've been worried that someone might steal it from my from step. If it's being sent by USPS it shouldn't be an issue. There are package lockers in the mail room, and they'll put the key in my mailbox.

Are you sending us tracking?
Starting to think you don't have my address either.

5715291 Only on request- getting emailed receipts depends entirely on which clerk is helping me at the counter.

I will check on everyone who's asked for status updates in these replies once I get home from this weekend's trip (tonight).

5715114 I can't find "RandomFastReader" on my list. PM me your proper name, or your Kickstarter handle, and I'll look again.

5715186 Not yet shipped. I made up your address label just a few days ago and put your specific "package delivery room" instructions on it. That's as good as I'll be able to do.

5715291 Can't find "Lee Goldson" in my records. PM me some more information so I can check again.
