In an amazing twist we will be having a monster huge blog up over the weekend about the Swordsman of Mars by our very own Erik Mona.
Now, understand I asked him to write this up almost in passing to see if I could get a blog to go into a certain slot. No big deal. Just a quick one talking about the differences in text (Disclaimer:The topic of this blog was Gary's idea) in Swordsman.
Apparently this was exactly the wrong thing to say and these words and idea of topic went into the mans ear and triggered certain synapses usually reserved for situations we have long since evolved past. A fire lit in his eyes as he began to tear up his own personal library to find said texts. A flurry of activity, a stint of what I can only imagine as fevered sleep, and much much pouring over texts later, he comes to me with a 3,000+ word *essay* about, well, you need to read it. He details many points I shall not go into here, but suffice it to say it is one helluva read.
The catch was, I didn't have anywhere on the blog schedule to put it any more. So I decided to break the norm with our blog schedule and put it up over the weekend.
Now, this is not something we will be doing regularly, but this blog post, nay, this essay, warranted something a bit extra-ordinary.
The man is passionate about what he does.
I'm looking forward to reading it.

To be fair, it was Erik himself who suggested it. I just let Jacob know he should remind Erik that he wanted to do it. :-)
This oughta be good! A little something out-of-the-ordinary every-once-in-a-while is in order.
Yay!

EDITED for ya: Just had to chip in.
Ha! Thanks, it's nearing 1am here, and I'm just closing right now. Had a busy day, and couldn't remember it all. Thanks :)
No problem...as someone [should] have said, "It takes a party." Enjoy closing.
Very cool, and informative blog! This is one of the main reasons I have been enjoying the Planet Stories line. Erik gets it.
Thank you.
