Special Announcement Concerning VS8 Episode Schedule
Yes, it's going to be a while, but WE WILL BE BACK!
The Lunatics have been doing this for over 8 months without a rest period (we were in prep long before we released the first ep). For many of us, "Real Life" (yes we have them too, although they usually take back seat to VLC) will be particularly busy in March and April. And while we have the rest of the season well mapped out and work done on quite a few more eps, we need a bit of time to catch our breath and get in a bit more prep work done to maintain the quality that we want to give you.
Our next episode's scheduled airdate is Tuesday, May 6th, and it is tenatively entitled "First Date," so you can guess what at least one of the storylines will be. Time in Whispering Pines will move very, very slowly (probably like it will move for many of our fans waiting for the next ep!), so expect the season to pick up pretty much where we left it.
During our hiatus, we will be releasing "extras" updates and other work, so continue to check the site for updates.
You are welcome and encouraged to chat on the list or on the boards and to speculate where we're going next. In fact, we'd very much like to hear from more people -- there are nearly 300 on the list and 150 on the boards and plenty of site/board lurkers, but if you count actual posts on the boards and the list it sometimes feels as if we're writing for about 20 or maybe 30 people. Those 20 or 30 folks are VERY enthusiastic and we thank you, but we would sure like to hear from the other 90% sometime too. You are more than welcomed to go back and post feedback on the older eps -- just because we aired "Home Is Where You Hang Your Axe" in October, doesn't mean you can't comment on it now!
In fact, we encourage everyone to look at this as "rerun" season, meaning time to pull out the tapes. Go back, enjoy the old eps, read things through... see what we set up in the early ones to reach where we are now. Can you catch hints? And of course, many questions remain unanswered -- care to speculate what's going to happen next?
We know there are some some newcomers to our season, people who have just discovered us, and we're very curious as to what they think, sitting down and reading everything all at once. How does it play for you as opposed to those who have been with us from the start and have had to suffer for two weeks after every cliffhanger? How do the extras work for you? Since they are closely tied to different episodes, we're curious if they work when you come in late.
And what about you non BGers? We know there are quite a few of you out there. How's the season working for you so far? You are just barely tolerating the "eeww" factor or perhaps we're bringing you into the light? No flames or fighting allowed in either direction, but general debate on the boards is always encouraged.
And in fact, we're opening up a new board section now. You'll find a new "Misc" section where you can offer personal introductions, discuss OT-VLC topics, debate BG, and generally post things that you don't think fit into one of the other board sections now. No personal advertisements please, and as always, play nice, but generally, this is a chance for you to chat while we catch our breath.
Again, please know that while we're going to take a small break from deadlines now, we'll continue to work on the season. And we hope you'll continue to play together. We'd like to see more activity on the boards and look at this as "your turn." We're going to go a bit quiet--so you need to pick up the noise.
And to quote Ethan, "We'll be seeing you!"
Thanks for the support,
The Lunatics
