Long Time, No Post

Well guys, it's been a while since this blog as updated. But that's only because we've been so busy behind the scenes. Actually, that's a lie. All we've been doing it having a big party. You see Geoff has gone and done the craziest thing. He brought a yaht and you know the international waters laws...anything goes. Well Geoff and Adrian have some crazy hobbies....ok, I lied. The truth is, we are busy behind the season.

The first half of season one has finished. A couple of weeks ago in fact. After a rocky start, we've started to find our bearings and the fans to go with the stories. In fact, we've even managed to make a fan out of Lt. Colonel Ryu Gaia, one of the toughest readers to please. Our second quarter was full of strong episodes, which include fan favorites. It's very evident, to the writers as well as the readers than we're improving and greatly for that matter.

We're currently in our mid-season hiatus, which is giving us the chance to write the next set of episodes before we release them. Don't worry though, we will have some awesome gifts for you while you wait. Can anyone say CG images? Tommy, a fantastic CG artist happened across the site and volunteered to help us out. So far we have an F307 model which is just being touched up, and an Onslaught Cruisers which is in developement. Expect to see some of those soon.

Titles and synopsis' have been released for the 3rd quarter, as well as titles for the 4th quarter. For those who haven't seen them:

111-The Vennix
With the majority of the Destiny's crew trapped on what they had believed to be a paradise planet, the remaining crew onboard the Destiny must find a way to take back the ship. But it is on the planet that the rest of the crew learns a secret about the people who stole the ship.

112-What's In A Name

119-Weakness

120-Alliances, Part One

There we are. I think I'll just talk a little about the upcoming episodes. Geoff is finishing off the mid-season 2 parter with "The Vennix". We get introduced into a new enemy, how cool? "What's In A Name" is written by our new staff writer, Harry Martin. He herolds from over at SG Genesis. He's set to write two episodes this season, "What's In A Name" and "Unsung Heroes", an episode which he pitched.

Adrian will be writing "Belly of the Beast", another Malecathi related episode. Adrian seemed to have been labeled out Malecathi guy since he has done some the more popular episodes which revolve around the Malecathi.

I'll be writing two episodes this quarter, both of which I pitched. "Lonely Echoes" is a very character orientated episode. And I mean very. Flashbacks, for two characters. You'll be getting lots of character development in that episode. Also, who can say guest appearance by Richard Dean Anderson? I'm about half way through this episode.

"The Wings of a Butterfly", as been guessed will be an AU episode. I pitched it way back when I first joined the series, and it's gonna be fun, but also quite tricky.

Onto a personal note. Just watched Mr and Mrs Smith which I borrowed off a fabulous and sexy friend. I've become addicted to a series called My Name is Earl. Thats on the "to-buy list". But that's all for now really. Keep reading. Elite Anubis Guard.

PS-Oh and Esquin says hi.
