Keith and I have come up with the winning image concept, and it is SEASONALLY APPROPRIATE. And Keith has done such an awesome job with the art that as a bonus to the bonus, I’m going to write a piece of fan fiction to go with it!
Now, debatably this won’t be fan fiction, because I am not a fan of me, technically. (I mean, I think I’m fairly cool, but I AM me.) But if Middleman-creator Javier Grillo-Marxuach can write Middleman fan-fic, then surely I can also fanboy my own oeuvre.
Besides, I declare this piece non-canonical, so it has to fit SOMEWHERE in the endless fan-fictional definitional matrix. I’ll be posting both the story and the art on Friday, along with some fan art by you guys.
Oh, and starting next week, I will be doing a weekly Uglies Manga reveal from now till the first book comes out. We will start with the characters. Keep your voting hats on.
Okay, that’s it. Hope you’re having good almost-Hanukwanzamas-break times!
UPDATE
The Japanese version of Leviathan has just come out! Feast your eyes:

December 13th, 2011 12:09
YAY!!!! Can’t wait!!!
December 13th, 2011 12:48
Seasonally appropriate you say… Interesting, very interesting.
December 13th, 2011 14:12
:O!!!!! I wont be able to think of anything else till Friday.
December 13th, 2011 16:20
YAHOO! I absolutley cannot wait until Friday!
December 13th, 2011 16:52
Yay! I can’t wait till Friday!
Seasonally appropriate, hmm…
December 13th, 2011 18:13
Friday can’t come fast enough…..meh.
December 13th, 2011 18:44
…okay, so clearly a close-up of “the kiss” isn’t coming. Mistletoe? Bovril holding mistletoe over Deryn and Alek, both in dresses? (I’ve been to that party…)
December 13th, 2011 18:59
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT A CHRISTMAS THINGY BECAUSE I DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!
December 13th, 2011 18:59
OOOOH I’M GONNA BE TENTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 13th, 2011 19:00
So Mr. Westerfeld, DOES THIS INCLUDE NEWKIRK???? HMMMM???
December 13th, 2011 19:03
*shot in the dark* Deryn in a dress kissing Alek under mistletoe? Cheesy, but t’would be adorable. xP
SOOOOOOOO EXCITED! COME, FRIDAY! COME NOWWWWW! (AND NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL BEFORE BREAK!!!!!!!)
December 13th, 2011 19:10
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! So all this time he knew what he wanted to do and he was making us argue amongst ourselves? Was he even going to count the votes? (Of course, I wouldn’t make him because there were SO MANY. But I guess his way is easier.)
December 13th, 2011 19:12
I wonder how long the fanfiction (wait, I mean NOT fanfiction and not fiction because Scott will be writing it, therefore making it true) will be! Let’s hope it’s companion-novel long.
December 13th, 2011 19:45
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TELL US!!!!!!
Now I will sit at my computor in hopefull anticipation until Friday…
First I’m going to stock up on food and water, because I don’t want to die…
December 13th, 2011 21:07
I will die if Newkirk is not in the picture.
December 13th, 2011 21:08
How about some Dalek fluffiness and Newkirk in the background with a cheesey smile and thumbs up? That would be HILARIOUS for a fanart. That would make me SO HAPPY!!!!
December 13th, 2011 22:10
I just want it to have Deryn, Alek and Bovirl all in one picture close up
December 13th, 2011 22:30
You’re the best
December 13th, 2011 23:00
Remember, that Goliath started in early October, (look at Goliath, chapter one, first page) so for it to be (and I quote) “SEASONALLY APPROPRIATE”, it will be several months after Goliath. I hope the fanfiction is a continuation of their story, you know, with the POV changes from Alek and Deryn and so forth.
December 13th, 2011 23:16
I hope I can print it and staple it to the back of my hardback copy of Goliath.
December 13th, 2011 23:35
Well, I was pretty bummed over the no Fan Art Friday, but this… this makes everything all better, even the chemistry exam that I bombed.
Thank you, Scott-la!
December 13th, 2011 23:36
Well, I was kinda bummed about the no Fan Art Friday last week, but this… this just makes everything better. Even the Chemistry exam that I bombed, which is saying something.
Thank you Scott-la!
December 13th, 2011 23:58
I HOPE YOUR FANFIC IS GOOD lol
December 14th, 2011 00:11
Two words:
SNOWBALL FIGHT!
In dresses.
With kissing.
And Borvril. EVERYONE HAPPY!
December 14th, 2011 00:22
@ TheWordMaster- YES! THAT’s INSANE! But NO DRESSES! None. Everyone knows you can’t properly fight with snowballs while wearing a corset.
December 14th, 2011 00:25
Hopefully it still talks about the war. Because even though I am an insane DALEK shipper, (and a REWKIRK shipper- yes, that’s my and Newkirk’s name smashed together with awesomeness) I want to know how the war ENDS and what they do afterwards. Hopefully, LIKE A GOOD WRITER WOULD, Mr. Westerfeld will go COMPLETELY overboard on this fanfiction, and it’ll be as long as an entire book. We can only hope.
December 14th, 2011 00:42
You have no idea how excited I am to know you’re a Middleman fan!!!
December 14th, 2011 01:06
This is as exciting as Christmas. Thank you Scott-La for fueling my Leviathan obsession.
December 14th, 2011 02:06
“Keith and I have come up with the winning image concept, and it is SEASONALLY APPROPRIATE.”
That narrows it down to:
1)Deryn and Alek under the mistletoe
2)Deryn(in a dress) and Alek, years later, spending christmas with their kids
3)Bovril in an elf costume
4)Some disaster invovling Bovril and a christmas tree.
I’m hoping it’s the last one
December 14th, 2011 02:12
bring on the eggnog and greeses up the stormwalker lets deck the halls with gears
December 14th, 2011 02:31
Please do not make it Christmas themed! What does a holiday have to do with the plot? Mr. Westerfeld says it has to fit in with the story somehow! Please just make it about winter or snowball fights or something! Please. This is the only circumstance I will BEG!
December 14th, 2011 02:37
Ooh! I want to see Bovril in an elf costume! Am I the only one who likes Bovril the best?
December 14th, 2011 02:52
@Books Before Boys
You are most definitely NOT the only one.
December 14th, 2011 03:14
@Books Before Boys
It’s Bovril. Anyone who is somewhat mentally stable likes him. (I said somewhat because I don’t really count as mentally stable)
December 14th, 2011 03:18
“seasonally appropriate” could just mean it’s in the winter…
December 14th, 2011 03:46
eddie malone’s newspaper article at the end of Goliath was in December
December 14th, 2011 03:46
@ Paola- Thank you. I hope so. @ Books Before Boys- I LOVE YOUR USERNAME THINGY! I FEEL THE SAME WAY! (about books before boys, I mean.)
December 14th, 2011 04:34
Does anyone notice that Japanese Alek looks like he’s about five? Maybe it’s just me.
December 14th, 2011 04:37
Ah. I like the cover.
December 14th, 2011 04:46
@ Jacquie-la
ya seriously he does. what 15-year-old has a face like that? but its still cool
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG OH MY!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!
CUZ FOR A SECOND THERE I WAS ALLL “YAY art. but wait… it is gonna be totally meaningless art unless he writes something to go with it!!” AND THEN HE DID!! YAY!!!
does evryone know how monumental this is?!?! SINCE WHEN CAN AUTHORS DO THAT?!?!?!
MAYBE this will rub off on Rick Riordan or Suzzanne Collins (sry, i have no idea if I spelt those right)
December 14th, 2011 04:48
@ Jaquie-la- I agree! They both look around 10, if you ask me. Alek kind of reminds me of Asa Butterfield in The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. But Deryn looks good! I think the Deryn on the Japanese cover is much better (more like DERYN, I should say) than the girl on the American cover of Goliath.
December 14th, 2011 05:03
So excited. And it DOES make sense. Goliath ended 3 days before Christmas!
December 14th, 2011 05:05
Okay, seriously, why can’t the covers for the American books look that cool? Gosh I just love that cover!
December 14th, 2011 05:07
Why are all the foreign covers way cooler than ours? *pouts* It’s not fair.
December 14th, 2011 05:08
And what do you mean “non-canonical” Mr. Westerfeld? I hate to say it, but if you write, it is considered law. So whether you like it or not, your fans will make it canon!
December 14th, 2011 05:10
MALLORY and HANNAH-LA! I KNOW! I NEED TO LEARN RUSSIAN AND JAPANESE! Just to stare at the awesomeness. I really wished for that the American covers were Keith’s illusrations from the inside, like the British one, I think?
December 14th, 2011 05:17
I think we’re all just partial to covers with the characters on them… But DRAWN characters, because the models are just, like… Ehhh…
I prefer drawn. But they look too ‘young’ for the U.S.’s YA market. Blargh.
December 14th, 2011 05:29
FRIDAY!? YAY! Something to look forward to Friday… for that is the day I am getting my wisdom teeth removed… o.o But now I will look forward to it at the same time as i do not!
I like the Japanese cover, I agree with Hannah-la, drawn characters are better(to me).
December 14th, 2011 05:41
I really like the cover of Leviathan when it’s the picture of Deryn holding Alek hostage in front of the Stormwalker and it was in color and it was JUST AMAZING and wow this is a really long run on sentence and stuff.
December 14th, 2011 05:52
Wait…what do you mean non-canon? Drawings by Keith are by definition real. I do so hope this isn’t wrong…
December 14th, 2011 06:06
MR. Westerfield,
I saw some of the other peoples’ things and I agree that you should really, really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,
SHOULD MAKE A WW2 SEQUEL/second series with the same characters and new ones( like heroes of olympus) and should think about a graphic novel made with illustrations like the normal ones. plus, for the second series if you do it, have a map made like the one in the inside cover of Leviathan.
PLEASE?
December 14th, 2011 06:15
It’s not Hanukwanzamas! It’s Chrismanukwa! Also, they look a little young on the Japanese cover. Am I the only one to notice?
December 14th, 2011 06:19
Scott, you need to post this picture and fanfic (Maybe authorfic?) as soon as you wake up Friday morning! Then I can see it before school and will be happy all day!
December 14th, 2011 07:13
PICTURE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZINGGGGGGG!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! (my version of digital squealing)
Can’t wait till FRIIIIDAAAAYYYY. Love you always Scott!!!
December 14th, 2011 07:13
I am so excited about your fanfic! And the art reveal! *SQUEEEEEE*
And how come America didn’t get the cool painted (-ish) book covers like Japan? I’m so jealous!
December 14th, 2011 07:19
OMG, the japanese cover-art looks amazing!!! (though alek looks weird randomly pointing a pistol/ whatever in a random direction)
December 14th, 2011 07:19
plus, they both look like their 11
December 14th, 2011 07:35
Yeah, they do look too young. And yeah, YA covers in the English-speaking world don’t have a lot of kids wielding pistols on them, either.
Of course, in Japan citizens can only own shotguns and single-shot hunting rifles. There are literally no pistol owners among civilians, and the handgun murder rate there is less than one hundredth of the US’s. So I guess showing kids with guns isn’t very threatening, because it comes across as completely fictional.
December 14th, 2011 08:39
SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR FRIDAY!!!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!
yeah, deryn and alek look super young (but cute!) in the Japanese covers
Yay!!!! Fanfic!!!!!!
December 14th, 2011 08:49
Oh My GOSH that is a sick cover!
December 14th, 2011 09:12
@ awesomesauce, I agree with you COMPLETELY (I am not strictly mentally stable either. Also those characters look way better than the models on the American version but they still look about 9 yrs old
December 14th, 2011 09:13
I realize i forgot to add the last parenthesis… you know what i mean right?
December 14th, 2011 09:14
OMG i am SOOO exited for Friday!!!!! that will be like the best day of my entire LIFE!!!!!!!! Plus break starts on Friday!
December 14th, 2011 10:17
I like the Japenese cover better than the regular one. Is that blasphemy?
December 14th, 2011 15:00
I love the Japanese cover! Go Japan!!!!!
December 14th, 2011 18:01
Oh god, that Japanese cover is beautiful.
December 14th, 2011 19:14
A huge snowball fight between everyone with Newkirk and Lilit falling in love! And Bovril shouting out something Hilarious!
December 14th, 2011 21:24
Yay! This’ll be a great start to my break!
December 14th, 2011 21:57
I think i might start some sort of count down on my computer because I CAN”T WAIT TILL FRIDAY!!!! *squeals*
December 14th, 2011 22:02
O can’t wait till friday!! and the Japenese Cover is AWESOME!
They look so little and. . cute! haha
December 15th, 2011 01:14
domo erea gato lol sweeet now i wish i spoke japanese
December 15th, 2011 01:22
OH MY BARKING GOSH!!!! EEP!!! Friday will be one of the best days of my life!
@Scott. You’re the best. Just–thank you, for being so awesome.
@Keith. You, too, are the best. Can I take drawing lessons from you? Please? Please pretty please with a pencil and paper on top?
I will count the hours until Friday…
December 15th, 2011 01:45
Cool. Can’t wait!
December 15th, 2011 01:56
JAPANESE LEVIATHAN? AWESOME!!!!!!
i am so excited for the art reveal! i don’t have school that day!
December 15th, 2011 02:52
@Scott YOU ROCK!!!!
@Keith YOU ROCK TOO!!!!
December 15th, 2011 03:16
I think this Friday I’m actually going to enjoy the kids singing the ‘Friday’ song in the halls @ school. WHOOT!
Lemme guess…Bov with a Santa hat!
Or Dalek mistletoe!
December 15th, 2011 03:39
I…. I just finished Goliath for the, I don’t know, 10th time, and I… I am in awe of you, Mr. Westerfeld. Thank you for taking this oppurtunity to continue this series, even for however brief a time. And Goliath ended at a perfect time too, because it ended on December 20, 1914. Which is 83 years before my birthdate! Impeccable timing, Mr. Westerfeld. Simply impeccable. This makes Goliath even MORE special for me! Thank you, because finishing the book (again) makes me appreciate EVEN MORE you taking the time to write an authorfic. Hopefully this authorfic will be the first of many to come. Sincerely, Rachel.
December 15th, 2011 04:57
I like how Deryn and Alek are exactly 100 years older than me
December 15th, 2011 05:09
@ Libby- That’s INSANE! You could be related to them, you know. So you were born…. Cool! ( I think Scott said they were born in 1898-1899)
December 15th, 2011 06:09
AWESOME!!! Can’t wait till FRIDAY!
December 15th, 2011 06:12
The cover is awesome. Alek and Deryn look really young.
December 15th, 2011 07:55
omg! YES. THANK YOU SCOTT. Thank you!!! Yay for writing a “fan-fiction”. And yay for seasonally appropriate!
And that Japanese cover is mighty swell
December 15th, 2011 08:27
i think you’re fairly cool too! and they look REALLY young! its WEIRD
December 15th, 2011 10:43
Holy food stamps batman! I’m really excited!
December 15th, 2011 18:34
AWWW they look like babies in the Japanese cover!! But I still love it!!
My inner fan girl squeals for tomorrow (or maybe the next day because time zones different in Australia.) IF it is i may die of anticipation
December 15th, 2011 19:40
Is it the wedding, Mr. Westerfeld? Please? People get married around Hanakwanzasmas (or whatever it’s called) a lot! The rest of the year, too, but that doesn’t count. So it should be the wedding. There are lots of rants for it, and if you read them, I’m sure you saw the light and made the wedding. Thank you.
And even if you didn’t, I’d be okay with it. As long as it’s Dalek I’m happy.
December 15th, 2011 20:06
Well, maybe by this evening it will be tomorrow in Australia. And we’ll get it early.
December 15th, 2011 22:58
CAN> NOT. WAIT. im at school right now. Rebelling. i really hope Bovril is in the picture. i will also print this picture out and FRAME IT. kthanksbai.
December 16th, 2011 00:33
EEEP! Today is Friday Eve. I am so excited! AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish we had awesome covers for Leviathan. I mean, we do, but not that it’s so awesome that I squeal. When I saw the Japanese cover, I squealed. When I saw the new Leviathan cover I went “Ohhhhhh….. Eh.” No offense to the Alek model (whom I am secretly stalking. Just kidding! Heh heh.) but the Japanese one is cool. Deryn is PERFECT! The face, the way she parts her hair, the nose, EVERYTHING! Alek is spot on, too! Just wait til their 15 or 16 and then they can be them IN THE MOVIE! If there is a movie…..
December 16th, 2011 00:39
AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Please make it with lots of Dalek fluffiness! And please don’t make this a cliff hanger, (like you did with Goliath, Mr. Westerfeld.) Can’t you tell how excited we are?!!!! DOESN’T THIS MAKE YOU WANT TO WRITE MORE???????????? DOES IT???????? *pokes you repeatedly while waiting for your response*
December 16th, 2011 00:54
Will Leviathan be translated into Chinese?
December 16th, 2011 01:17
Ohmiigawd !!!!!!
This is soo badass!!!!
I’m so going to read te japenese version!!!
(good thing I learned japenese!!!!!! ;D. )
Oh and I want to see Dr. Cable first!!!:D
Her and her extra sharp features, and scary pretty face with the cold dead eyes! I want to see her!!!(:
December 16th, 2011 02:01
Reading the word “Dalek” in the comments always makes me think of the Daleks from Doctor Who. Then I have to remind myself that it means Deryn+Alek. It makes so much more sense that way.
December 16th, 2011 02:37
Still think Myazaki should do Leviathan as a movie- think of how amazing everyone would look!….and they know how to draw a proper mustache.
December 16th, 2011 02:59
YES. Can you imagine Volger with the giant mustache that that one soldier has in Howl’s Moving Castle?
“Your mustache scares all the girls!”
*Volger twirls mustache and glances at Barlow* “Says who?”
December 16th, 2011 03:15
I really want a picture of Dalek’s wedding with Bovirl officiating!!!
December 16th, 2011 03:25
AHHHHHH!!!! I just figured out that i have to wait till SATURDAY to see the pic and author-fic!!!!!!!
@ Scott-la PLEASE POST THE BONUS STUFF AT LIKE 2 IN THE MORNING!!! I will be waiting at my computer ALL of friday and Saturday refreshing this page EVERY OTHER MINUTE so i can see it as soon as possible! (and not to mention be the first one to comment!)
~insane fan-girl~
December 16th, 2011 03:47
@ Winston Churchill- That’s why I love Doctor Who. The one episode has Daleks (Dah-licks) and Winston Churchill (I think that’s who it was) in the same episode and I was freaking out!
@ Ruth- 98. Unfortunately, I will be on my way to Florida over winter break, so I won’t have internet access 24/7. But I’ll be waiting….. Heh heh.
December 16th, 2011 04:18
I think I’ll get up at one in the morning on Friday, check my computer, and then tear my hair out because it isn’t there.
December 16th, 2011 04:23
Yes!!!
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Fanfic AND art!!! I can’t wait!
And really, first we get the Russian one thrown in our faces along with the uglies/pretties one and now this, a perfect one! They even got the hair and outfits right! I wish I was Japanese. Curse you American covers!!! (no, not really, but these ones are sooooo much better)
December 16th, 2011 04:58
OH. MY. GOD. LOOK!!!! LOOK!!! LOOK AT THE “LATEST TWEETS” THING!!!! THE AUTHORFIC IS GONNA BE LONG!!!! I WAS BRACING MYSELF FOR ONLY ABOUT A PAGE OR TWO BUT WHOAAAA!!!! EEEEEEEEEP!!!!! *drinks coffee*, *screams more*, *goes back to reading the hunger games for the millionth time*
December 16th, 2011 05:06
@Rachel-99 Hmm… I guess that the going to Floria part is good but the no internet access is just…
December 16th, 2011 05:10
@selin-102 Thank you for pointing that out for me!!!!! SO COOL!!!
@Scott-la I know i already said this but you RULE!!!!! SO MUCH!!!! *squeals for like the umpteenth time*
December 16th, 2011 05:17
Aww, the Japanese make everything so cute c:
Also YAY! But if by seasonally appropriate you mean wintery, boo, because there’s enough of that up here already. Darwinist Canada’s peacekeeping fleet of militarized unicorns dislikes the snow and cold
Ah well, Keith will find a way to make winter AMAZING and LOVEABLE.
December 16th, 2011 05:29
@Brittany P-105, I L.O.V.E. Canada’s peacekeeping unicorns! (I’m Canadian) GO TEAM CANADA!
December 16th, 2011 05:31
BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott-fiction!!!!! A Leviathan-y-ish-like Christmas/Hannukkah/Kwanzaa (did I spell that right?) is INFINITELY AWESOMER than a normal one!!!!! And I just read that the authorfic is going to be LONG!!! *flips out, eats chocolate, watches Harry Potter, dies* SOOOO exciteeeddd…
December 16th, 2011 05:34
I just want you all to know that I was reading through these posts, and during everyone I literally squealed (or my equivalent of squealing) because it reminded me of the awesomeness.
And I think that for those of us in North& South America we will get it all before Friday because Australia is ahead of us. Like the time stamps are already in Friday. Yay!!! I hope he gets up really early so I’ll still be awake. EEP!
December 16th, 2011 05:44
@Lissa-108, I just thought about that (for like 15 minutes) And now every five minutes I check to see if it has been posted yet!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! ITS ALMOST AUTHOR-FIC AND BONUS ART TIME!!!!
December 16th, 2011 05:55
That is a gorgeous cover!
I’m so excited! Be sure to post it on time Scott, we’re too excited to wait any longer!
December 16th, 2011 06:04
I like the Japanese cover better that the American but the Russian one is diffidently the best.
December 16th, 2011 06:25
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!! not only an extra pic but a FANFIC TO GO WITH IT :O
December 16th, 2011 06:32
@ Rachel
Haha, could be, I mean, of course, if they were real people. (WHICH THEY ARE IN MY HEAD!!!)
I am actually both Scottish and Austrian though
December 16th, 2011 06:37
@Libby
maybe you’re like alek & deryn’s greatgreatgreat granddaughter
December 16th, 2011 06:38
@Libby. I am so jealous of you right now. I’m Deutsch and German and a wee bit Scottish. Something else, too, but I can’t remember right now. I want to be Austrian, too! I have a family over there, though. By family I mean I stayed at their house in my time there… does that count?
December 16th, 2011 06:39
oh wait duh you were already talking about that
December 16th, 2011 06:42
@Libby I am part German and part Scottish SOO CLOSE
Hey! I just realized Scottish/Scott-la! Same first word!
December 16th, 2011 06:45
@ selin at 102- my friend, Josh and I, (and another of my friends who has also read Leviathan) are reading the Hunger Games 23 times IN A ROW in honor of when the movie comes out! GO MARCH 23, 2012!!!!!!
December 16th, 2011 06:46
@ Libby (113) Newkirk IS REAL! He is.
December 16th, 2011 06:53
Wait, March 23rd!!! That’s only 7 days after my birthday, the 16th!!! Helloooo birthday outing!!!
December 16th, 2011 06:56
@ Lissa- AHHH! That’s amazing! Did I mention mine is on the VERY LAST FEW WORDS OF GOLIATH? Yes, yes it is. But, now, I NEED TO RANT ABOUT AUTHORFIC OR I WILL EXPLODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 16th, 2011 07:04
@Rachel (118)
FANTASTIC BOOK RIGHT!!!!! my friend and i both love The Hunger Games, and for a christmas gift she gave me a mockinglay pin!!!!! it looks just like the one on the cover.

Wait, you’re birthday is on the very last few words of Goliath? I don’t get it. Do you mean the day the Eddie Malone article was published?

December 16th, 2011 07:29
Now I shall go to bed, waiting until morning as though it were Christmas Eve and I were a small child who still had the innocence of youth.
Sorry for the bad simile. I get this way when I have conflicting emotions (i.e. “EEP! Fanfic/Art!!!” and “NOOOOO! I have to wait longer!!!-wails!-”)
December 16th, 2011 07:31
We really need to have a countdown clock for this (like we did Goliath) because it’s so monumentous!
December 16th, 2011 07:33

December 16th, 2011 08:02
I wish other authors did FAF’s. And wrote extra chapters and fancy pictures!
December 16th, 2011 08:06
AHH. Extra chapter? What is this madness? I didn’t know there was another chapter coming with the extra art! This is incredible. I can’t wait until tomorrow!
December 16th, 2011 08:12
I mean it’s like an authorfic. Sorry if I got you confused.
December 16th, 2011 08:16

My sister is trying to kick me off the computer
She just doesn’t understand obsessive fangirl-ism. *shakes head disbelievingly* tut tut…
December 16th, 2011 09:06
* using mind powers to speed up clock * It’s. Not. Working!
December 16th, 2011 09:09
So, Scott, I think we all agree that it is close enough to Friday for it to not matter anymore, so you should just go ahead and post it before we all go mad.
Cordially,
Hannah-la

I am watching harry potter right now (meanwhile refreashing this page every 2 minutes) and i SO wish i had the opposite of a time turner, that way I can speed up time and SEE THE ART AND READ THE AUTHOR-FIC!
December 16th, 2011 09:14
I am going to fly through this authorfic so fast I won’t understand anything til I’m finished reading it. And then I’ll cry.
December 16th, 2011 09:22
If Scott-la is in New York then I am SOOOO glad i am home-schooled because then i can CHECK THIS WEBSITE EVERY MINUTE!
December 16th, 2011 12:52
Love The Japanese leviathan. How come none of the covers have some of Keith’s art on it??! That would be the logical solution . . .
December 17th, 2011 04:45
Yeah comment 148!!! I love the chapter!!! You rock Scott-la!!!!!
December 17th, 2011 07:20
@ Lissa/Miss Lissa

Japanese cover is epic. They do look so young but so perfect! Japanese and Russian covers are so epic. Why does America have such less epic covers. *sigh* If only I knew Russian and/or Japanese…*double sigh*
