Strange Shapes

[Valaquen]

Howdy,

Some of you will know that I run a blog on the Alien trilogy (that's right...) and lately, Prometheus. I've moved the blog from Blogger.com to WordPress (I find it far, far superior, and writing on it ain't a slog), and have just spruced an article on Hadley's Hope, which you can peruse here: http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/hadleys-hope/

Lemme know what you think, about this article or any. I'm adding new and old articles as fast as I can. In seven weeks my daughter will be here and updates will likely, very likely, be minimal.

I've been waiting for an official thread about this!

And congratulations on your daughter, man.

Van Leuwen is ICC.

And I think you're robbing yourself by ignoring Resurrection.

But nice work as always.

(I got another one due in 7 weeks too).

And I think you're robbing yourself by ignoring Resurrection.

I really couldn't do justice to a film I'm not very fond of. It would feel like homework! Even out of the trilogy I think Alien is the best to write about, the other two can be tedious a times, but Alien has such lore behind it  (I also corrected my mistake there with VL - thanks!)

(I got another one due in 7 weeks too).

Congratulations! It's my first. I'm not nervous yet - is this normal? 

Ditto on the thanks, MrSJ

EDIT: In addition, I think everyone should read Jon Sorenson's article: http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/jon-sorenson-alien-miniatures-experience/

If you feel you're ready, then there's no need to be nervous.

Nervousness comes later in the form of a breakdown when you haven't had a full nights sleep for months on end, and the bank balance is starting to look decidedly bare.

But other than that it's great!

I've done a bit of writing about Resurrection of late (more of the in-universe variety) and there's quite a bit there to be mined.  Might even see the light of day, one day.

Oh, I'm used to being broke! The sleep thing ... I do get quite irate. I'm looking forward to the whole shebang though! Thank you

Why don't you host it somewhere? You have a timeline on the internet, don't you?

[SM]

It's all still in draft form at present, and not in any real rush.

Got to finish tweaking the timeline update anyway, then revise the encyclopedia...

I wasn't nervous at all, until I took her home. Then shit got amazing.

Congratulations!

Are you going to finally unify all the timelines into the definitive SM version? 

[SM]

No.

In case you didn't get that RaisingCane, the answer was no.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Valaquen, your blog on Wordpress platform looks more clear and neat (that is the power of white backgrounds  kidding!..), it definitely looks more professional! I guess, it was a right move.

And early congratulations on your liitle one (with a wishing of oceans of patience  )
The same goes on SM way 

And may I ask, Valaquen, are you going to upload the article once I saw on your blogger source, the article critisising A^3? It read half-humorous, half-sad, and I liked it... Just asking! 

SM, you have an army of parroting supporters! 

[SM]

Right.

[samoht]

Wow look at all the fcuks SM seems to give.
