LOL! This would raise some eyebrows at the conference room of Doom. And do you have the link to this podcast?

I'm counting the days to the Comic Con, too. I feel that when I actually see the actors talking about S3 and read the fans reactions, my excitement will show up again. :)

Ritual (43) is half finished and it's quite naughty

This is music to my ears (so to speak).:D

Comic Con is going to be a trip. So much is going to happen there. There's a lot more online fans I know who are going this year than last. It really makes me pleased! :D

Wish I was going... just for Heroes stuff. And then there's all the other stuff... *sigh*

If I had $2000 to spend, I'd just go and crash it, and flirt my way into a place to sleep. But without a truckload of money, I'd just be angry and frustrated...

I'm going just for Heroes stuff. And the rest of the time I'm there to volunteer (Autograph Area) and for DSC stuff, which is Heroes stuff indirectly.

Yikes. This is where the bulk of my stimulus went and a couple of Ebay sales. Make plans for next year?

I swear I didn't think that. *L* But now that you mention it...*chuckle* I was waiting for the virus to take him--but then we got gun shots instead! I was not expecting that!

Don't they have such pretty swag at the Store?

Petrelli brothers mag is still available. I got mine at my store yesterday. It should be out until the 15th, I think. That's the US release date. My friend just got the newest ish in the mail.

So many fics to read. :( I really want to read your series. Right now I've only read a few here and there. But it's soo good!

Oh Good... let's hope the comic shop across the street's got it (though they aren't that great on availability for anything I actually care about).

My town has some great comics shops; I don't go because I can't really afford to buy comics as much as I want to, and even though I have an employee discount at the shop across the street from work, like I said, they rarely have anything that I actually want to buy. Comics are a VERY expensive habit and I'm drowning in them as it is.

Read my series! (And get to it when you can - it's not going anywhere.)

Just butting in to say that I'm really looking forward to your Big Boom!!! Please do not make excuses for being long-winded and undisciplined! What good did ever come out of disciplin, I ask.

I need to catch up on, like, your ten latest Ritual installments. Supernatural fandom has swallowed me whole lately but gah your petrelli-yay still wins.

SPN is so delightful - too delightful for me to go off half-cocked. I put the first season on hold at the library so i can catch up, but it's still going to be months away before I get it... and there isn't time for me to rent it and watch it right now. I will, though - mostly just so I can read fanfics! (Also, I love it, but the fics are bananas)

I can understand you swimming around in SPN fandom. It's AWESOME! Dean/Sam is made of win. XDDDDDDD

Webisodes? When? Are they about the real characters?

Heh. My first thought is "Ugh." I do NOT have time for my Heroes addiction right now. AND I HATE NON-CANON CANON. IT CONFUSES ME. Plus, they do not have a good track record at all of very Mac compatible video content, except the annoying Flash stuff.

*hits them all with sticks* Just make the show and make it GOOD, gosh darn it, Kring 'n' co.

*wanders off grumbling*

I don't know what the webisodes are about, but if they're anything like BSG's, they will provide previously rarely-seen characters engaged in a micro-story that both previews the events of the coming season, and provides not-strictly-necessary backstory on what's going on in the meantime.

They will undoubtedly be canon canon, but not strictly necessary to watch. And providing perhaps a fleeting glimpse of a few of our main folks. But who knows if they'll use the BSG ones as a template? (I thought those were very good, actually.)

I'd buy more heroes merchandise if I had the money right now D= Don't feel bad, I write long stories too; I prefer to read longer fics, though I have come to love some one shots. =D

I'll be watching the webisodes too, cause I am also a whore, lol. Do you know when the webisodes start? =O

Webisodes begin on Monday, I believe (the 14th, I know for sure).

i'm hoping someone else buys me action figures. Why don't my friends understand that they should buy me geek presents for every holiday? What's with the giving me plants and stuff? Sure, plants are great, but ACTION FIGURES!!!1! or T-shirts or whatever. One of my friends got it right once - he gave me Vol. 1 of the comics, though it's the Jim Lee cover variant, which I wanted much less than the Alex Ross cover. Jim Lee sucks at teh likenesses.

eeeee I is going to watch!!!

I know! I wish MY friends understood that too. Well, they at least know to not get me plants. They just don't get me stuff every holiday, lol. =P Yeah, well...at least you got one of the comics though. I own none ;_;

It helps to have friends who have absolutely no problem spending that $100 a week on comics. And I have to say, the comics look MUCH better on paper than they do on the internets.
