DarkPrince Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm sorry not being rude please forgive me if taken so but oh my god can you guys hurry up imma explode if I don't read this chapter soon. Link to comment
MikeL Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hang on, Prince. Please don't explode. I have finished my work and just returned the chapter to C J with my comments. Your patience will be well rewarded. Link to comment
Site Moderator TalonRider Posted May 24, 2013 Site Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2013 You're much too young to explode Dark. I too have finished with the chapter and will be sending it back to CJ after I get home from work this afternoon. 1 Link to comment
Benji Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You're much too young to explode Dark. I too have finished with the chapter and will be sending it back to CJ after I get home from work this afternoon. Then if I'm corrrect there is only one other person that needs to review this chapter before sending it back to CJ for positing Link to comment
MikeL Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Then if I'm corrrect there is only one other person that needs to review this chapter before sending it back to CJ for positing I really don't know Benji. How many are on C J's team? 1 Link to comment
Benji Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I really don't know Benji. How many are on C J's team? .......There are 6 people that I can tell that are beta and zeta reading the chapters for CJ, Usually when the winged bird responds there is only one left to read the chapter. I know who it is, and he is pretty much responsive if he is at the PC at the time. I feel assured that this chapter will post @ Tuesday! Link to comment
DarkPrince Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 But but but I want it Monday. I has Monday off I gotta work Tuesday. Link to comment
prklux Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 But but but I want it Monday. I has Monday off I gotta work Tuesday. I feel really sorry for you if you have to work 24 hours on Tuesday Just think how much more you will enjoy it after work I know we all are going to be very grateful to CJ for all his effort over the years on this book 1 Link to comment
Site Moderator TalonRider Posted May 25, 2013 Site Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2013 Believe it or not, Thursday morning I had another email from CJ explaining what he's doing with this chapter. Normally, I'm one of the first Beta's to receive the chapter. With this chapter, shortly after he sent it to me, he then sent it to MikeL, RedA, and Graeme. We all have our way of working the chapter. RedA is the sailing expert. CJ will then bring our suggestions together into one document. Lowflyer is the last person to read the chapter before posting. We would be lucky to see the chapter Tuesday. But as I see it, it's going to take a little time to bring everything together into one document considering the length, as MikeL said 48 pages in word. 1 Link to comment
bayoudreamn Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) no biggie.....we all just get anxious.....even Dark, though he is SOOO patient. the chapters are getting longer......guess the epilogue is 57 pages ....anyway....interesting conversation with benjy on how many readers there are on the team......so does that last thing with naming names on who got what and when mean there are only 5 on the team? An/tic/i/pa/tion.........an/ti/cipat ya shun, it's......making me wait...........making me cra/a/zy me wonders.....how many people will reread this story when it is done. just thinking for a second I remember so many details so long ago it seems.....fallen into forgetfulness....

DarkPrince Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I love this story. Best one yet. Truly. And no I don't work 24 hours a day but when I get home I'm so exhausted and drug out I usually sleep. Link to comment
Skyrre Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 This is the first time I've read a story on here that has yet to be completed and it is quite refreshing actually having to pause and take in what has happened. CJ you are very skilled at writing and I really like the way that you incorporate the little details that allow the reader a good look at what the outcome can be and having the characters not know! I am avidly awaiting the next chapter! 2 Link to comment
bayoudreamn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 You know what is kinda sad about where we are here that no one has mentioned? This forum has become something of a family with the same members posting over time and I'm feeling like I've known some of you for quite a long time. When the story ends that will all change as people come and go.....so this will be something I know I will miss. It is good to have met and chatted with so many of you for quite a while and I'll miss this weekly chatting! 2 Link to comment

Please all us selfish A'holes give him a chance All of us are adding to the pressure that HE ( I beleive ) himself is imposing It may be that I live in a remote area and can go for days without talking to anyone I am sure he is putting everything into getting this finished both for our great enjoyment and his feeling of a great accomplishment GO CJ 3 Link to comment
KaimukiMan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Well, I'm anxiously waiting too. But with 48 pages it wouldn't surprise me if it had to make two rounds of the reviewers. A while back someone mentioned concerns about some shoals that Atlantis had to pass over. I'm thinking that with the storm surge that usually accompanies a hurricane combined with Atlantis' very shallow draft (remember Rhys Lagoon?) that passing over the shoal will be surprisingly easy, if indeed they make it that far. Katrina created a record breaking 27.8 foot storm surge at Pass Christian, so the additional 2-4 feet that Atlantis needs to clear the reef shouldn't be a problem. Of course that makes me wonder how much protection the bay will actually provide if they get past the shoal. No doubt CJ has researched all this carefully, if it turns out to be relevant.

Benji Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 ....... At a cat 5 storm that Dean is presenting itself to be, I have no doubt the shoals will be covered by a surge acceptable of the Atlantis needs to make the voyage.

Well I guess we'll have to talk the goat into another story then so we can all hang around and discuss that one after Circumnavigation is finished. 1 Link to comment
Site Administrator wildone Posted May 30, 2013 Site Administrator Share Posted May 30, 2013 Just thought I would ask.............. Does anyone take my signature of a countdown timer as serious? Since I'm not part of CJ's Team and have no more knowledge than the majority of you of when the next chapter will publish, I hope I am not misleading or disappointing anyone. Just my way to quietly bug CJ 2 Link to comment
MikeL Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm not being mislead, Steve, because I don't know what the 115 days from May 30, 2013 means. If I was in the know...well, maybe ignorance is bliss. 1 Link to comment
JimmyZ Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi - any idea when the final chapter is coming? Thx! 1 Link to comment
