Alright. My life got pretty hard asskicked, if my inactivity on the Slayers Challenge front hasn't shown. But that's OK, because I had other people helping me in my absence.

Much thanks to for being my right-hand in this and for spreading the word (with her INSANE popularity) and for giving us the honor of her art in celebration. And to EVERYONE ELSE who was a major help, because there is a big list and mazoku.com is down for now so I know I'll miss someone if I keep listing.

Because of their help, and yours, Slayers novels 7 & 8 are slated for July release alongside the first season's boxset of Slayers.

But that doesn't mean the fight is over. More sales may encourage Tokyopop to reconsider the cancellation and to continue publishing for another plot arc. As it is, they had to reprint books 5 and 6 due to demand. Let's keep that up. Buy the books for your friends, suggest them to all of your local libraries, and bring the books up in casual conversation. Tokyopop says there isn't enough word of mouth, so let's prove them wrong.

In the very least, we've had a small victory. Now it's time to prepare for the next.

That's it for now.

Oh, I guess I should say on the front of my real life, I'm about 9 weeks pregnant right now. That's important, if even unrelated, so. Foosh.
