@94-Zane is MINE.
June 7th, 2012 05:13
@94-If your name has an L in it, the extension is -wa. If it has no L, it’s -la. I think it’s just a Pretty nickname thing.

And speaking of which, I love it how you tie in little things about Japan in some of your books, like, with Extras and in the Leviathan series when they went to Japan. That was SO COOL and it made me feel special x3

Number 3. For sure. I mean, come on. Alek and Volger’s clothes? That’s just awesome. (Do we get to see the mustache in full color? The mustache is important.)
June 7th, 2012 11:48
Elephants all around!!! Number one!:D Though what I really want would be a copy of the book in my hands now, it doesn’t work that way.
June 7th, 2012 13:12

One is not gonna win. I think three might win, but two only needs like four more votes for it to win (win right now, I mean). Just a score update. (I don’t know, is Scott the only guy who can do score updates?)
June 7th, 2012 20:33
Definatly number two please. It would certainly shed more insight into the actual world of steampunk.
June 7th, 2012 21:23
33333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 7th, 2012 21:25

June 7th, 2012 23:56
Uniforms! I hope they look like the ones in a WW1 Memorial I went to recently, that would be so cool to have seen the real things, then in the Manual!
June 8th, 2012 00:06
Oh dear, I’m quite torn between 2 and 3. Eeeerrrrmmmmmmmm I have to choose 3!! I vote 3!!! We see a lot of the clanker machines and stuff but never a lot of the profiling. You know, I’ve always imagined Volger’s uniform (that he gives to Alex to tailor) to be turquoise!
June 8th, 2012 00:15

All Alek b*^%$ and Varlowe fans, I better see them voting for option three because its a once in a lifetime do you see an early reveal with Alek’s sexy imperial clothes as well as Volger’s. (Same goes for all of you Dalek fans, don’t you even think you can weasel out of this one…)
As for me:

Option #3! Uniforms! So I can be Alek for Halloween
June 10th, 2012 03:54
I vote #1, because what’s not to love about an elephant mecha? Nothing, that’s what.
June 10th, 2012 06:27
I vote #1.
