The Big Day

Update #6 · Apr 8, 2012 · 7 comments
Hi everyone,

First off, we owe you all an apology. We’ve been quiet and distant and we’ve taken you for granted. It’s not you, it’s us, and we promise we’ll change – starting right now.

We want to make it up to you. We’ve reached a stage in our relationship when it’s only right that we set a date for the big day. How do you feel about July? July’s good, right? Okay, that’s settled: we’re launching Balance of Powers in July.

The website is looking good, our prose is sparkling, and we’re now planning the interactive elements and real-world gifts for the most generous of you backers. How about we make the first interactive event our online launch party? Fine cocktails, sophisticated chat, and the possibility of a gruesome death – how does that grab you? 

Excellent. We’ll send out invitations a few weeks ahead of time. 

You’re far too good to us. We don’t deserve you. 

Here’s to a wonderful creative relationship,


Adrian, Andrea, David & Naomi

      Now that July has been and gone, perhaps the powers are becoming more finely balanced? I just received a request from Kickstarter for my postal and e-mail addresses.

      December: "We said we'd keep in touch every two weeks"

      January: "We are also plugging away at other, more secret stuff with renewed inertia" – I originally misread that as "momentum" or "enthusiasm"... that'll teach me to increase my word power.

      April: "we promise we’ll change – starting right now"

      This is certainly turning out to be one cryptic rollercoaster ride of tension and jaw-dropping, breath-taking exhilaration. The twists! The turns! I can't keep up!
