And so the little story of Veronica Mars versus the big, bad me has come to a close. I'm flattered so many of you have enjoyed the tale of my pursuit and capture. Why, look! The kind folks over at Pirate Pride Awards have even recognized the work of these 20 authors with a lovely award:



All well and good, but I hear there are some folks who still have a few questions left. Questions like: Will there be an epilogue? Who came up with what story? What happened to this particular character? How did 20 authors plan and execute such a beast? Will there be a new story next summer?... and anything else you might be thinking. Well, that's what this post is for.

Ask and you will receive answers. You can ask the group or you can ask a particular author. You can ask about the larger story arc, one of the small character arcs, or a chapter length mystery. You can even ask me if I truly make homemade jam.

I'll start off by answering the question that several of you are likely thinking now: Who the hell are you, i_am_scary?

( Spoilers for the end of 'All Fall Down.' )

So go ahead and ask your questions. I’ve got nothing but time.

Just a few closing notes:
Joey Evans was modeled after Evan Lysacek, although the characterization is a bit different from how we imagine Evan being. After all, this isn't meant to be RPF, you know?
Also, cookies to anyone who can spot the Jensen Ackles shout out. :)

We interrupt this regularly scheduled broadcast to inform you that All Fall Down is going on a two-week hiatus. No worries - this is not a sign of impending doom! As we near the halfway point, we thought this would be a good time to take a short break and make sure that we know who's driving this flyin' umbrella. Or something.

The next installment, Chapter 11, will be posted on Saturday, Sept. 2, and the following chapters will be posted on subsequent consecutive Saturdays all the way through Chapter 22.

In the meantime, feel free to speculate among yourselves who the big bad(s) may be, and exactly what was up with that frakking spy pen. We'll be back soon!

Cheers!

-Mgmt.
