Delay shall continue a bit due to a slight issue!
So apparently Faith is desperately important in this particular Realm. And unlike everywhere else? It's completely unattributed to any specific source. Which is fine for everything that was already created there because everything in that particular place believes in itself.

But John's System is cracked and patchworked and modified and altered and most of it is new bits at this point... And every time something crashes it's reverting itself back to an earlier State and attempting to fix the issue.

Thankfully, slowly but surely each and every component will eventually believe it exists, at which point all the various people in the pocket will be able to interact with time again.

Even MORE Thankfully: Time is moving fairly quickly or not at all depending on how you look at it! From their perspective it'll all be instantaneous, and from our perspective every second or so? A few hundred million years are passing as the system adjusts itself outside existence.

Mind you it took me a couple of months to even find the damn thing, but at least I can track what's going on now. Everyone have a good weekend!

Hmm. I've occasionally come across references to two Powers of Wealth, that maybe some have Faith in. One is 'Mammon', one is 'Dolla' (spellings may vary). At casual glance, you may think they're the same, but Mamon initiates know that wealth only exists within the context of a (mostly) working society, advocates of the Almighty Dola consider 'moar lucre' to be the only thing of importance...

The above, of course, is not a political statement, and is not a criticism of any particular economic system. :)
 
Surprising coincidence, I was just thinking about your stories today... speak about the devil, eh?

Take as much time as you need (I have to reread the last few chapters to remember where we left off, I think it was DC, especially the Zatara household.)
 
It's (almost) Alive! It's great to hear you're still working on this story and I hope that everything is going better for you!
 
Alert: Please don't thread bump like this
please don't thread bump like this
While necromancy is not against the rules of Sufficient Velocity, if a thread has lain dormant, please do not come into the thread bump it once a month. That is disruptive and impolite to the thread owner and the other users following the thread.

 
{Editing to include reason for post. Previously there were an individual that had posted compliments to the OP within the last 24 hours of my post here. I responded to a question of theirs, and pointed out to, specifically, future well wishers that doing the same had concern to being construed thread bumping. }

Given the disappearance since their medical issues, and financial kerfuffle... Despite them still being an active member of the board, they seem to have lost all inspiration. So, I wouldn't expect any update anytime soon, much less this, or the next, decade. It's a bummer, but the loss of muse has hit Ace before. And it took nearly a decade before they wrote anything again. So... yeah.

To future readers, please, just PM Ace your enjoyment. This thread has been inactive for so long that even if Ace suddenly got their muse back right now, it won't be used to finish/add to this. Ace has well and truly lost their place in the plot, and like every other time they did, they just move on to the next. So, please, let a dead thread lie; because at this point, further well wishing/congratulations, in thread, would just be thread bumping.
