2/23/23 Updates!
After some minor hiccups involving having to get a new hard drive and Facebook
causing problems, I'm back up and running, albeit slowly. The proof copy arrived
and requires a bit of work, which I'll begin today. This site looks like it
needs a bit of work too, as some of the images seem to be missing. Consider this
a work-in-progress, as I have to focus my attention on SE.
2/6/23 Updates!
The bound proof copies of SE are coming by week's end! I've also added the final
chapter breakdown to the timeline.
1/27/23 Updates!
Hey everyone! I've sent corrected files to the printer earlier today. There were
production decisions that I had to deliberate over, as well as typographical
errors that my editors and I caught during the process that I wanted fixed.
These kinds of issues are nothing abnormal, but they do slow down the process a
bit. A small snag, but we're full-steam ahead now. I promised to keep you guys
informed and will continue to do so as I get further news! Cheers!
In site news, moving forward, I'm going to
approach the Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline in the same way that SE
approaches it, in a kind of Trinitarian fashion: One Canon, Three Universes: EU,
DU, and Infinities. Nothing will change at the outset, but I'll start by
creating a separate section from the Infinities section.
1/16/23 Update Day!
Hello there, my crazy Starhoppers and Star Warriors! I've heard that the
Episode I Adventures
book series had gotten quite hard to find. So here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ISaVkiGz2WEvRwizmawjE9mQq8ck9_a/view?usp=sharing.
In update news, the printer, graphic designer, and I have been working hard
these past two weeks, going back and forth to hammer out everything to their
exacting specifications. As per your suggestions, I've requested bound proofs
and those should be arriving in a week or so for me to look over. I've already
found a few errors that I've wanted fixed, and assuming the proofs don't have
anything additional that is egregious, I'll give them my "approval" and the
printing will start.
When it comes to errors, the bottom line is this:
there are going to be some.
Despite all of the hard work my editors, proofreaders, and I have put in to find
and eradicate them, in a 1000+ page document, it's inevitable that some are
going to slip through. In the big publishing houses, they have a team of
full-time proofreaders going over drafts, but even in that scenario, in your
standard 2-300 page book, errors slip in. Perfection is an ideal that we strive
for, but one we can't hope to attain, and to hold up a work for the sake of
perfectionism is a fool's game. That doesn't mean you don't put the work in (and
if you talk to my editors, they'll tell you we certainly have!) But you have to
move forward...
Instead of having you guys wait half a month for updates, from here on out, I'm
just going to let you know any major progress that occurs as it occurs. The
arrival of the bound proofs, the start of printing, the arrival of books, and
when I mail them out. That kind of means the suspension of Update Days for
awhile, though I'd like to start them up again with the Han Solo books (which
have been proceeding nicely behind-the-scenes) as that gets closer to
production. And expect updates in regards to LegendsCon! Until then, MTFBWY!
1/7/23 Site Update
Shout-out to David Koziol for helping me better place Darth Vader and the
Lost Command after Imperial Commando: 501st. I have other corrections
and updates to make, which I'll manage in the days ahead while SE is at the
printer.
1/1/23 Update Day and Happy New Year!
Hope all of you Starhoppers and Star Warriors are doing well in 2023!
Listed by year is the archived
news for that year, as well as the website updates that had originally
been on a separate page. I've decided to combine them by date for
those long-time fans of this site, as well as any that are curious to see
my chronological thoughts and editorials over the years. Occasionally,
you'll see non-Star Wars material from my other timeline sites included,
as this was before I had the lightbulb moment when I realized that
each universe should have its own "latest news" and "updates" page. Please
note too that these pages are being kept for nostalgia and research
purposes. None of the internal links, of which there are many, will
actually work, as they were created at the time the Star Wars Expanded
Universe Timeline was listed under the umbrella site Timelineuniverse.net,
which is no longer the case.
