Cool. I was thinking that this effort in fandom was going to be a joint creative work in progress rather than a push toward a future publication? Particularly as official Heortling material moves further away from the engaging peoples I originally found them to be. In much the same way as say someone like Nick Brooke became disinterested in the Lunar Empire after Gregs revelations in the build up to ILH1 & 2.
John?

Now, though, I've got another reason for not joining in: health reasons mean the amount of energy I've got to spare for writing and creating in general is limited, and I'm already over-committed. I'd be happy to help from the side-lines, throw you ideas, point out (and try to solve) problems, but I wouldn't be able to do any of the hard graft.

The Penelope Love books: "The Widows Tale" and so on. We've managed to reconcile her very RQ2 timeline and descriptions with more modern works, in a way that we think makes sense and has as few contradictions as we could manage, and it's been published in the latest Tradetalk. I'm working on that area at the moment, tying down a few more details in the process, and it all links in to the supply routes to WW in the early part of the siege.
