Alright. It is five am, but that will not stop me from making the big post I promised.

It is a little over two and a half months since we began the Act 8 fan project. In that time we’ve produced two flashes, and the better half of the first two acts– 83 pages– as well as launching Caliborn’s peripheral materials. The team’s size and ability to produce content at the volume and quality that they do has exceeded my expectations completely. So I’m not worried about us going forward even a little. Basically nothing about this has been a struggle.

Speaking of the future. With the resources we have, I can work with the assumption that the fan act will have at least one walkaround and major (over four minutes) flash animation.

Directing act 8 is challenging, and there are ways I can improve, but overall the process has been smooth and enjoyable. Team 8 are wonderful, passionate folk. I often find myself caught up in their amazing creative momentum hoping to catch up and do them right. I am really proud to be trusted with their efforts.

So if you’ve been a part of this, no matter how small, even as a reader who has shared with us a scrap of your good will; honestly, and truly, thanks. I think there are good things to come.

Fun as it is, it’s still a lot of work. And two and a half months is about as long as I can do that without a break. The next week (from the 3rd to the 9th) there won’t be updates. This doesn’t mean folks won’t be working; I’ll be handing out tasks to my team tomorrow and leaving the rest in the capable hands of bluebird and austin. Me (and updates) will return Better, Faster and Stronger on the 13th of this month (July). You guys will probably not notice anything.

Basically; everything is going well and we are having fun. Thanks!
