Glad to hear the car accident didn't happen Justin. I've been in more than a few (failure of car, not failure of driver) and it always takes me awhile to recover. >.<
I've been continuing to work on the Age After. I've finished my first "arcs" for Weapon X/Prelate Summers as well as the London team. Once I get Quicksilver's team and Storm's team's parts done, I'll assemble, and then SUBMIT SUBMIT SUBMIT. I just haven't been able to write much this week as I'm picking up some extra days at work. 6 in a row!

Still trying to nail out my fifth character. I have options... I just don't know how to work them in as perfectly as the others. I don't want him to seem random. On top of that, I was crazy busy. We had a huge release party this past weekend for the first chapter of our full feature. It went over really well. Looked great. A big masquerade ball inspired party. Only had to call the cops once! Anyway, should be getting a little free time this week to figure everything out and then run it by Booty to make sure I'm not stepping on his toes. Might've been my concept, but HE'S MAH PAD'NA!

Sounds great all. And glad the accident didn't happen either Justin.
I'm half-way through Ultimates #1 for Omniverse and I'll be working on origin issues for all the members of the team and some of the supporting characters that will be one-shots that go up under the Ultimate Origins title.
Also working on a Giant Size Special for Intolerance that ties up what happened in the six month gap as well as the first issue of Uncanny vol 2 and first issue of Astonishing X-Men.
Also got a side project that goes along with stuff that Justin and Mackers are doing that is looking to be really good. Gonna get around to re-doing Graymalkin one of these days but not just yet. Working out ways to write all this in good time while still getting what I owe to MO and MA and such done. It was hard at first but now its quite easy to move back and forth between issues of things.

@Uncanny - Looking forward to more Intolerance. Just as it started to wind down the first time was when I started getting into it, so some freshness will be awesome.
Now that I think about it, I have an Agent 13 mini-series to finish for Altered Vision - crap!

This is the banner designed by Tanwer. What do you guys think? I like it.
I plan on using it in my signature as an advertisement.

I've been powering though my long over due latest KoG issue. It has a dragon in it
 @Kipe: the banner looks good, though I'm not sure if the blue and white stripes works wel with the red and white dots.

Is there any kind of tentative date for the next update, or a certain number of submission you want to be at before the update? I ask because I'm debating whether I should finish the second issue and submit it now for this update, or wait until this update goes up to get feedback on the first issue.

The mention of Intolerance up above after I was speaking about it plus thoughts today got me thinking. With me wanting to wipe the X-Factor two issues out since I never got that arc done and have no drive to finish it, I realized that by doing that causes a hole in the universes continuity since X-Factor shows up for the Hulk story. Then there is how I never actually planned for the Changeling thing and just threw it in and it leaves holes like was he Psylocke when sleeping with Cyclops? That was totally not what I wanted to imply lol.
So I started thinking maybe the best thing to do would be to start Intolerance over and better flesh out what I did and make it stronger as I've grown as a writer since then and I'm not too proud of quite a few of the issues or happenings of the issues up.
What do you all think? Start fresh and make it a better universe and stronger with a better focus and attention to detail and story telling, or just go forward with the six month jump and go from there?

I think a re-do feels to apologistic. I would go with a jump, personally.
Also, I'm sorry I haven't been as active on this part of the forum lately, the past few weeks at work have been crazy since I've been doing almost constant sixty+ hour weeks... But I've got three sections of Haven to finish up, another four or five parts of XXTNC, and Katana and Hawkeye's parts of Outsiders... I should be good by the end of the week at the very latest!

Personally, I can't remember ANYTHING about Intolerance other than the vague concept, so I wouldn't mind a restart. However, a jump would be basically the same thing really.
If I was writing it, I'd just go for the rull reboot/start.

After thinking about it a lot yesterday I have decided to totally restart and revamp Intolerance. Unlike an XXTNC or COTA where they have run for a long while keeping with a plan or COTA where X-Treme has spoken of his slight dis-satisfaction with the start issues but he's worked long past that and created a universe he's very proud of; I'm not that proud of Intolerance. I love the cut off point and the ideas I had for it, but I didn't stick to a plan. I went all over the place and did some odd things and the stories are no where near my best. I left a lot of plot holes and gaps that looking back now I see plainly what I missed.
So I'm going to start over. You'll see some of the stuff I did before come to play a bit as I stand by some of it but I need to expand that good stuff and bring more of it out. The first issue will be a special tha sets up the entire Intolerance universe, which will now be Marvel: Intolerance cause I have eventual plans for some Avengers and FF and others minis to fill int the world.
The first issue will deal with the fall out that has hit Xavier's and the X-Men after Bastion took their mentor, their home, and everything they ever had from them. They are left with a shell of a mansion. Some are ready to just move on and declare the dream dead, but Cyclops is dedicated as ever. I will be pulling in those from X-Factor, X-Force, Excalibur, and others to set up the X-world in this universe. Before I just kept to who was there at the end of issue #70 and tried to make it work. There will be some twists, some turns, some shock developments, some character work, and some rosters that will seem new and odd but good. So here's hoping this time I make a universe that is memorable and stirs some talk. A universe that lives up to what I know I'm capable of writing wise.
Long live THOI!

Sorry for the absence! Been busy and life's been....blah.
Anyway, I really like the banner!!! Two thumbs up!
Second, still waiting on some more stories. We only have two and I don't think even a prelude update will work with that.
I like your choice Scott. Do what you have to do to tell your story, I'm excited for whatever comes out.

I like it too, I think the ideas I have now are coming out way better than before and some X-Men that I shoved aside that people wondered why I didn't use or treated badly *cough*Storm*cough* get represented well now.
I'll try to have in something from Intolerance or Omniverse or a stand alone issue in the next few days. Hopefully more than that, cause I'm raring to see THOI stuff start flowing again. :)

I'm absolutely still working, but it's also taking an absolutely long time. I ended up eating up the buffer pages for my comic, so I've had to devote my free time there as opposed to fanfic.
Once I DO get writing though and finish up the next two strings, there should be a SLEW of issues from me. : )

Just an update: I am still working on my first story, but I had to rework the entirety of the arc because the villain I'd intended to use decided to make his return in Uncanny X-Men #1.
I hope to be done with the first issue by Friday.

Have you guys considered starting a tumblr for THOI? Then, you can post links to new updates directly on there and people can follow the tumblr and have the updates directly on their dashboard. People who don't regularly check the site, or use the forum, could follow the tumblr and never have to think about checking the site until the link comes up conveniently on their dashboard.
