    The fact that I used a different Icon for like...a day, ten years ago, during an April Fool's thing, and it still bugs me is rather telling, I suppose. :P

    Thank you!

    Just finished my New Year's Eve story for the year. 34.5K words, pretty happy it didn't get excessive this time.

    Thank you! At least they're not creeping past 40K words anymore. ^_^

    Haha, nice.

    What service do you use for getting the print edition? Local printer or something online?

    It's super basic. I just use Staples (Business Depot) and their print service. The binding is just one of those clear-faced, black-backed heat-pressed/glued bindings used for presentation handouts and stuff - they can do some pretty large ones - with a card-stock cover page. I have a specific, simple way of doing the title page: title in bottom right, along with the New Year's Year and possibly a series name, if the story is one in a series, all done in a font I hunt down that I feel captures something of the feel of the title. That's it.

    So we have a pile of these things sitting at home, now. ^_^

    Oh snap, Sharp has changed his avatar.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    I'd say 'it happens', but I guess it really doesn't, does it?

    Beg to differ! Current Strange is Clea Strange, officially Stephen's wife (as of...oh, many, many years ago).

    You've been grumpy mustache about as long as I've been around. Which is ten years or so now.
