First off, to all those who stuck their head into this world, thanks. It's nice, in its own way, to see one's words reach another.

Well, it's been a long time coming.
I have mixed feelings about all this. I'll probably do a much bigger blog post later to summarise some of those feelings. For now . . . I guess I just wanted to mark the occasion.
To anyone reading the chapter, or reading this, thanks for sticking with me.
“The Everstorm comes, but have faith, friend. Ours is not the only Shard that stands in its way.”
“I think about my education sometimes. I went to the University of Chicago for awhile after the Second World War. I was a student in the Department of Anthropology. At that time they were teaching that there was absolutely no difference between anybody.
They may be teaching that still.
Another thing they taught was that no one was ridiculous or bad or disgusting. Shortly before my father died, he said to me, ‘You know - you never wrote a story with a villain in it.’
This world was never special, yet Odium’s brief sojourn here was plagued with more horror than anything we had seen before. We still aren’t sure just how far the ripples have spread.
Nothing important, I just wanted a little something something to mark the occasion. Chapter Thirty of TMAR just went live, and that marks halfway. At the current rate, we'll be done around November 2016.

Well, this has been a long time coming. Three hundred and fifty-one days (351) to be exact. In that time, some things have changed, others haven't.
