Time to revive Shattered World?

-

Hey all, if anyone is still out there...I've been giving serious thought to trying to revive Shattered World in a serious way. And no more e-books, I would go back to the old format of free serialized updates...and hopefully do so on a more regular schedule.

However, I'm just not sure if anyone is still out there and if there is any interest in this? What I am thinking is this; I currently have 76 followers on twitter. If I see that get to 125 then I'd take that as a firm "yes!" in answer to the question of whether there is still interest. I thought about just doing a poll or something....but I figure following me on twitter takes a tiny bit more effort and is therefore a better gauge of interest...and if I did revive the series I'd plan on doing a lot of my status updates and interaction with readers via that channel as well.

So, if you are interested in seeing Shattered World revived then just follow me at https://twitter.com/CypherLH. Feel free to DM me on there as well if you have any thoughts on this.

I'm still around. I don't do Twitter, but you can consider this a "yes" from me.
Hope life has treated you well over the last several years?

I don't suppose the Board is still sitting an old drive someplace?

Hey CJ, I will check with my brother about the board. I'm pretty sure he has the archive still and I'll look into getting it and making it available in some way if not outright reviving it.

It looks like I'm either not getting much of a response on the question of reviving the timeline...or people just don't want to do the twitter thing, or both ;) I was kind of afraid the fan base had drifted away and this appears to be the case for the most part. I known I only have myself to blame for this. (disappearing, letting the board die, etc.)

I guess if I want to revive it I'll just have to start writing and hope the people will slowly drift back over time.

I'm just starting to seriously think about how I want to approach this, but when I'm ready I'll just start posting new stuff and will announce here and on my twitter and facebook.

Will the entire timeline reappear on the web? I read it years and years ago, and keep a hope for more. I couldn't be bothered with a twitter, though.

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.

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...
