Abt: Please excuse the slight delay! Well, I don't know about you, but… I'm always willing to wait for gorgeous pages like this one! It's definitely one of my favorite HA pages so far, and a great way to end the “series pilot” ^_^ Check out the cute moment between Vora and Shell in panel 1! :3

Seb: Very much worth the wait, I just get cranky when people don't tell when they won't be done on time so we don't stay up all night waiting for them. XD But Tempest delivers, and I'll rightaway state that her pages are personal favorites of mine. This wraps up the HA pilot and my first venture as a webcomic writer. So, what did you guys think? Be honest please, I don't think we deserve ALL those 5s. XD

HA #3 is going to start the week after next. And this time, with complete disregard for our original guidelines (LOL) it's a big 31 page chapter, which means we should be hitting our 100th entry milestone there!

Abt: We had guidelines??? :P Actually, that's 32 pages, since one of them has already been turned into a double-page spread. Yup. Anyway, I don't wanna directly edit Seb's comment from above, so I should just quickly point out that I've been in contact with Tempest during the delay, and not only has she been apologetic about it - being her usual sweet self -, she also had a good excuse (which she should tell you about herself, if she chooses).

Since this page marks the end of my first collaboration with Sebastian, I would like to add that I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one! And while his writing alone deserves praise, another huge part about his involvement has been taking a weight off my shoulders. I am afraid that people might think I've been doing all the heavy lifting by organizing this title. Well, I was lucky to have had Sebastian and some others who've been there from the very beginning to spark the whole thing in the forums. I'm wary of expressively mentioning names though, because if you're reading any name in the credits, chances are they contributed more than just what they're credited for. I am indebted to each of them. Thank you!

As for next week, fukujinzuke is going to supply us with a Halloween special! It's three pages long, and I'm going to add a cover. I'm not sure about the update schedule yet, though… Halloween is on the 31st, right? (Sorry for my ignorance - in my country it's an import ^^;) So Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun updates would make sense, I guess… Any suggestions?

In the meantime, Seb told me that on Saturday and Sunday, he'll upload the sketches for the pages he was originally meant to do, but couldn't. And I'll also try to squeeze a teaser for HA #3 in somewhere. So: Please watch this space! ^_^

And lastly, massive thanks to all you great readers and supporters! I look forward to seeing you all back here for the next chapters!
