Citizens of the Multiverse,
You're probably enjoying the respite from us constantly schilling our book on social media, but we did want to give you a quick update on our progress.
The first, rough draft of the book was already complete when we posted the book on Inkshares, but we're deep in the midst of rewrites so that we can meet our mid-July due date for our manuscript. And as you can see by the actual G-chat below, we're making sure to go over all the important details.
NICK: There should be a big football game coming up
NOA: ?
NICK: Because for the final bit of craziness I think she should be in her cheer uniform
NOA: (...nick, you and I both know why you want her in that)
NICK: And we can show game day banners and clothing in all the different universes
NOA: She’ll be in cheer-like stuff, but she won’t be in uniform. Because.
NICK: C'mon. Also it would be good for art and marketing.
NOA: I agree, but, ugh, such a lame trope. I agree she needs to be in something like that, but not the uniform, per se.
NICK: Ugh, whatever.
We should have something new to share with you soon, but until then, thanks again.
- Nick & Noa
Greetings True Believers!
Sorry it has taken a couple of days to send out this update email. Upon news that we would be published, we immediately moved into giant mansions. Unfortunately, the people who owned those mansions eventually came home, and called the police, then we were on the run from the law, blah blah blah...you know how that stuff goes.
We're back now, and as mentioned above, OUR BOOK IS BEING PUBLISHED.
This, True Believers, is THANKS TO YOU.
Like, for reals. Without you guys there would be no book, just a Google Doc that we off-handedly mentioned to each other every now and again, then got really quiet and sad for a moment before going back to our daily lives. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We can't thank you enough, but in the interest of length we'll stop there.
Right now, we've begun working with the publisher (we have an actual publisher that we talk to about our book you guys) to get the manuscript ready for production. The target date for the book to hit stores is February 10, 2016.
We'll keep you guys updated with where we're at in the process and what not, but for now we just wanted to say thanks for making this possible and supporting us and books and stuff.
Turns out Mariah Carey was wrong. Well, she has probably been wrong about a lot of things (like thinking marrying Nick Cannon was a good idea). But in this case, she was wrong about this: Not just one hero comes along. A bunch of them do. And they make stuff like this possible. Thanks, heroes.

Another week, another update on our book progress. Writing can be hard, mostly because our lives are so busy that we have to scrape and find time in between all the important events in our lives, like the Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage and the release of Arkham Knight for all video game platforms. Don't worry though. As eloquent, intelligent writers we are able to have a civil discourse with each other and find a good system for motivation and making sure we stay on track with the book. For proof, see the actual Gchat conversation below:
NOA: please help I’ve lost my soul to Arkham Knight
NICK: MEANWHILE OUR BOOK LANGUISHES IN THE DARKNESS
NOA: Chapter will be done today. Apologies.
NICK: If you get it to me today I will write mine tomorrow morning. No more slipping or breaks or whatever until we're done. This has to be a priority for us to make our deadline. We've both been wishy washy with our due dates. We should send each other reminders and stuff.
NOA: ok
NICK: Account-a-billa-buddies
NOA: no
NICK: YEP
NOA: That's it. I'm done. I quit the book.
NICK: ACCOUNTABILLABUDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
NOA: I quit
NICK:
NOA: NO. I will not take shit from a man who gets a day-long hangover from one bottle of champagne.
NICK: DO NOT MOCK ME BECAUSE MY BODY IS HEALTHY
NOA: I will not take shit about health from a man I’ve seen clean out a bag of Donettes in under 3 minutes.
NICK: DO NOT MOCK ME BECAUSE DONETTES ARE DELICIOUS. ALSO ADDICTION IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
NOA: I have the same issue with beer. So, I get it.
NICK: Oh. That's alcoholism, Noa.
We're going to lock ourselves in an un-air conditioned shed armed only with an Apple II computer and a dot matrix printer until we finish this thing in shape for submission, or we collapse from the heat. At that time we'll have another sample chapter to share with you. Until then, thanks again for purchasing, dearest readers.
