Timeline speculation...

[keshwyn]

Indeed, it is May, and consequently all hell is breaking loose. And if we were following that other canon's timeline, by the end of May, His Noselessness would have shuffled off this mortal coil, ceased to be, would in fact be an ex-parrot.

Which leads me to speculate as to whether our fearless writers are going to follow that, and then we get to spend the summer watching them try to sort out the almight mess the regime has been left in (yes please!) or whether it'll take a little longer to off the LP than otherwise might be expected...?

(Also, I would like to take this opportunity to say to the writers, I have enjoyed this immensely, might you consider writing a semi-annual, or perhaps quarterly broadsheet that gives us an occasional glimpse into what continues to happen in the alt-verse? Pretty please? :)
