I mean the Big A.
I haven't seen him posting on the boards in a long time.
Is he well?

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Aye. Big Al's been busy with work, mostly, and other non Candlekeep-related adventures.
Rest assured that he's still around, and still checking in on Candlekeep when he can. But most of his more recent time online here at Candlekeep has been spent on the Moderator shelf. |

If we're askign where people are, does anybody know why Steven hasn't asnwered questions on his thread since the end of January?
Admittedly, he is a busy author and I quote: "I'm swamped (and I'm unable to juggle things as well as Ed) and hoping to get back here more regularly soon." But still... we need the lore... |

| Indeed, Steven is attending to deadlines and other stuff. Check out his blog, or the "Codex Continual" website [steveneschend.com] for hints about what's keeping him busy. |

Steven has also posted in other places besides his site that he is extremely busy. So, well, that's probably why. |

No. Unfortunately, Eric's long been absent from both Candlekeep and the Wizards boards. Though I recall either Krash or Ed stating some weeks ago, that Eric was busy with non-Realms work.

| Good to know what Alaundo's been up to--thanks for the heads-up. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

Hope Big Al can spend more time here in the near future.

Great, with the passing of JK
now I'm going to be wondering if
anybody who disappears for a while
has taken a turn for the worse.
Maybe we should have an email tree
so that everybody as a contact to
see if they are ok.
Anybody interested? |

| I routinely contact a few long-lost scribes every few months, as well as scribes who were regularly active and then just suddenly stopped visiting. Sometimes, they respond back, and even return to Candlekeep. Other times, they just maintain their silence. I can only assume they're busy with other stuff. |
