Shattered World to remain my hobby

-
I'm dropping the 'fundable' idea as clearly the idea was rejected. I'm just going to continue on with doing this as a hobby as previously. But the pace will probably remain pretty slow.

Bobby I dont think anyone is rejecting the whole idea - we are just rejecting 200 dollars an update - that is a lot of money for one update.

A lower figure wouldnt have probably batted an eyelash - heck you had 40 dollars in pledges in a couple of days.

Hi Bobby,

I would imagine if you allowed other people to write and then perhaps you did some editing then maybe that would speed things up?

Sounds like an ideal Oliver. Their are some Small ship actions around Crete that need to be told and individual fights in the Beria line.

So Bobby its already been four months since the last update - with the rejection of fundable are we talking six months between updates now or will you be able to at least do three a year?

It will hopefully be quicker than 6 months, but on average its going to be slower than it was a couple years ago. I just have a lot less free time than I used to have, and my runs of "writers's block" seem to have gotten worse lately.

As I have said before, I never intend to stop writing the timeline/story altogether, but the pace may certainly slow to a crawl at times.

Bobby do you want us to submit some ideas for possible next updates to try to give you some way to undo your writers block like Golladay and Oliver suggested. I am sure between all of us we could come up with some interesting ideas.

Shattered World - Segment 53.3 "Leningrad und Smolensk, oder Tod" Nuclear fire blossomed like the all consuming brilliance of some ancient warrior god. In the middle, hell boiled and reached upwards for the heavens. All around, concentric circles of overpressure extend out to snuff out life and property like a million angry fists, smashing all before them. 40 kilotons of death and mayhem, delivered from the great predator birds of war - flying far overhead, now withdrawing eastward with fighters in vain pursuit; like gnats pricking the giants of old or hawks throwing themselves at the Earth in desperate rage. Shifting the viewpoint downward and out to sea, to the inferno that had been the Island of Okinawa. The battle lines are stark, brutal scars cutting their jagged path across a tortured terrain becoming more that of nightmare by the hour. Craters dot the land, making it appear like the surface of some hostile alien world. Off the coast, gr...

Shattered World - Segment 53.2.2 It was approaching 2:00 in the afternoon local time and the 500 B-31's flying high over the Pacific due east of Sakhalin Island stretched for miles and miles, formations of the huge bombers glinting in the bright sun like a string of pearls draped over the blue ocean below. Captain Dan Wood had been on nearly a dozen similar missions, but those had been to the south over Honshu and Kyushu. This was his first mission this far North, and from what intelligence had said he wasn't looking forward to what awaited him. This raid was the biggest attack launched against Japanese oil facilities on Sakhalin so far and it was also the first large daylight raid. But no one doubted that the Japanese were waiting for them. "Look sharp everyone, we're getting to within range of Jap fighters" Dan said into the mike, glancing at his co-pilot with a slight nod. And, sure enough, a couple minutes later word ca...

Major edit to Segment 55.3

-
Hi all, After a lot of thought I've decided to make a major change to Segment 55.3 I have removed the reference to the Germans using biological weapons against the British. Instead, their retaliatory attack is limited to the VX chemical attack. I decided that it just doesn't make sense for the Germans to escalate to bio at this point, especially given the unknowns involved.
