Let me third (fourth?) the thanks for letting us know you're okay Steve. I'm with alllie on this- I feel like the escape folks are distant family. I worry when the cast is late or the site is down not just 'cause it's feeding my addiction for amazing stories, but because it's like my buddies might be in trouble. So-so-so glad things are okay enough to keep on keeping on.

Great to hear from you Steve, I sincerely hope you are well rested and doing better!

Steve, I'm glad you are ok.

I'm not sure I have anything else to say. I'm really just glad everythings ok.

It is good to hear that you are back among us Steve. Understand that while we may seem an inconvenience and an unneeded added pressure, most of us were/are just happy to see you back!

Now get on with your bad self and give us an intro to be proud of, hoss!

best wishes!

Okay, a few more hours. Tomorrow. Sorry.

I'm thinking of boycotting February 5th. Next year I may have to have my calendars altered to remove it.

Patient, glad you're OK, but I'll admit that I did come here to check...

I think you have to be a Pope or a Roman Emporer to do something like that. I don't think Autarch is enough to let you dink with the calendar.

Besides, <<gazes into hat>> this time next year, you'll be celebrating your greatest year ever... (I'm an Honest Man.)

i finally investigated to see what was up and am relieved to see the drought has come to an end. it'll be all the sweeter.

Glad to have EP back! I am a huge fan and truly appreciate having these stories every week. I'd just like to offer thanks to Steve and Anna for all of their hard work in putting this together.

I am alive. Escape Pod will continue. Escape Artists will continue.

All good things come to those who wait. Welcome back, Steve.

On the up side of this delay, due to a recommendation from the Autarch and jonesing for some short fic, I checked out the Drabble cast. Thanks so much for the tip on that show. It's really weird wild stuff. Sadly I burned through the entire backlog, so it's back to week-to-week short fiction for me...

O, btw, while your modifying the calendar remove Feb 16th while we're at it. Let's really make February the shortest month. (from one Aquarian Steve to another...)

Personally it's not having the birthdays I mind, or even getting older (much) it's the way people act around you on your birthday. I am lucky enough to be well loved- so people expect me to expect something on "the day" when really all I want is all I ever want on any other day - wich usually involves a warm drink in a mug.

Raving_Lunatic · **Reply #87 on:** February 07, 2009, 02:09:54 PM

Every birthday puts me one step closer to the stage where my opinion matters.

I dunno I'm (mumblemumblethirtysomething) older then you and my opinion still rarely matters. But I get where you're coming from.

This is not a complaint by any stretch of even a warped, vengeful John Cavil-type imagination

But......

I am wondering if there is/was going to be an episode for last week.

Have elves stolen the new stories?

Wondering the same thing. Have Escape Pods moved from Thursday to Saturday or to an unpredictable schedule altogether? Don't get me wrong, I love EP and have the greatest respect for Mr. Eley, but he is running this as a business—complete with CEO and, may I add, a fair number of paying subscribers (of which I'm one).

I do understand that it'll take time for the new CEO of Escape Artists and the new crew helping out to iron out the kinks and get back to a regular schedule, so I'm not worried yet. Just chiming in here to say I hope to see a new EP on Thursday this week—and to play devil's advocate on what's otherwise a lovefest here in the forums.

Of course, he'd lament the fact that he'd have to experience EP in the limited expression of human speech.

Signs point to yes.
