Working in a Coal Mine

Hey, everybody!

Okay, so despite the incredibly fierce competition (seriously, I didn't look all day and then I was like holy cow why are there eighty-plus votes in here), we have a winner for the next pantheon writeup: the Polynesian gods, who eked out a photo-finish win with one vote more than the Australians. Both areas of the world are pretty big blind spots for Scion, and I can see you guys felt passionately about them. Don't worry, proponents of the gods down under - they'll have more chances!

However, I do want to tell you guys that we're going to be trying out a little more laid-back production schedule right now, at least for the first couple of months of the summer. Working on three different projects and a new pantheon and fiction has slowed the wheels on all of them, and some catchup time is in order. For the next little while, we'll be putting off starting on the Polynesian gods to give John more time to spend on things like mechanics and crafting and me some more time to focus on writing up fiction; the stories especially have fallen behind a lot, and we'd like to see Ragnarok get published some time before we've all died of old age, so I'm going to be dedicating as much time as I've got to cranking through the heroic adventures of our bands of unlikely protagonists. Hopefully, this will mean that we'll be seeing more than one new piece of fiction per month (dare I dream, two new pieces of fiction per month?!).

We won't forget about the Polynesians, of course. As soon as we feel like fiction's respectably caught up (not all the way to current events, but at least not still stuck in the dark ages of Demigod) or we get the itch to go for it, we'll start working on them. We're planning to start no later than mid-to-end of July unless something goes wrong, and to put all our fervor into it when we do.

In the meantime, thanks to all of you for voting, being awesome and cheering us on. You know we'd just write new pantheon supplements for you all day long if we could, but them pesky things called work and rent keep distracting us. New pantheon poll is up over to the right to start the wars over who'll be following Polynesia - you know what to do!
