Dear Pre-orderers, 

 We were really pumped about getting the publishing process started. We were going to have our own editor! We eagerly awaited to hear from this physician of prose, and begin making our book into something suitable for public consumption. 

 Then we were told the editor's name. Clete. What kind of name is "Clete"? we asked ourselves. Surely no one with that name is suited to be any kind of person that works in the realm of literature. 

 Then we spoke to him. Clete was the perfect fit. Over the next month or so we sent versions of the manuscript back and forth, and damn it if Clete didn't just get our book and what we were trying to do, but he showed us how to make Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory even better. Thanks, Clete. 

 So we're sad that our time with Clete is at an end, but we're excited by what that means - WE TURNED IN THE FINAL MANUSCRIPT FOR OUR BOOK. Then we leaned back and put on our sunglasses. 

 Now the book is being formatted and having some final line-edits done. The cover is being designed. In just days we'll get out first look at our cover design options. 

We're hoping for something along these lines: 

 A quick note - originally the book was slated to be published in hardcover, but after discussions with Inkshares, the book will now be available in paperback and ebook formats. Though we were really looking forward to having a hardback copy of our book, we care much more about getting booksellers to cary the book, which is much more easily done with a paperback book, as it doesn't involve as much risk or cost for said sellers. So, overall it's a good thing. 

 Of course, none of this will matter when either of us wake up from the dream and realize that this whole, "getting our book published" thing was all just a vivid fantasy. 

 Until that moment we'll keep you updated. 

 XOXOXO, 

Nick & Noa

Dearest Pre-Orderers, 

 Well, it's done (for the moment). 

 We completed the second draft of the book, transcribed it onto construction paper with crayons, put it in a small row boat, and sent it to our publisher. That may sound strange, but that is what the publisher requested. The publishing industry is weird. 

 But, with the completion of this draft, we can announce the winner of our "Pre-order the Book and Get a Character Named After You" contest! 

Since our story is told from the perspective of both a guy and a girl, we decided to draw both a guy and a girl. 

 The winners, to be immortalized in literature FOREVER, are: JONDA ROBINSON and GEORGE BROWN Congrats to the two of you. We hope you enjoy the cameos your names make in the book. Don't worry, all of you who bought the Advanced Student options will have your names listed in the back of the book still. 

 We'll be posting a new chapter (from Davey's perspective this time) to help satiate what we're sure is a drastic thirst for the story. For now, Noa is going to start drinking and Nick is going to start shoving Donettes in his mouth at an alarming rate. Hopefully we'll both be recovered in time to completely rewrite the book after the editor tells us we should change everything. 

Yours truly, madly, deeply, 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. 

 Nick and Noa
