* I always took it that the dark gods somehow played off from the light gods [snip]

Dunno who thought this up. An interesting concept, but not one in actual use. They are, indeed, misreading into things. The fact that we have a matching number on each side and only four primary gods is a legacy effect of early worldbuilding anyway.

* Has there ever been an explanation why there’s no hedgehogs in the comic? [snip]

The actual reason is that we wanted to do different species and avoid the tired standards of the style.

And while I’m here, I’ll back the other ones up.

Besides, they’ve pointed out both in-strip and by Word of God that it’s not the actual 40K universe [snip]

This. As many times as is nessecery to get it through people’s heads.

By Word of God, they’re still not gonna try publishing it, though. If Sega’s lawyers don’t murder them, GW’s will.

This one is the only one that I dispute, but it may have been an old quotable stance of one of the others. In recent terms though, we’re actually just too unmotivated to do the groundwork and foot the bills involved in putting together a book for an uncertain return. The idea was thrown about a couple years back but didn’t hold traction.

Next time on “Silv’ comments TvTropes Pages”. the WMG Page! Keep that hilarity going, because on the mark or not it’s fun to watch you go.

Yes, again.

On the bright side, this time I have finaly managed to automate the thing properly, with a little bit of plugin help, so not only will it not be likely to need updating again but now one can reasonably expect fanart updates to actually appear there. Shocking, I know.
There’s something on the order of fifty new images in there. Some of them are a couple years old, things that I found trawling our forum somewhere between page updates, but some of them are very new. You should go and look.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I hear there’s demand for people to buy shirts and shit without having to turn up to conventions in Canada. I have a store system to put together.

However, every now and then I feel the need to nudge somebody back onto the right track – Word Of God priveledge and all that.

So in that light, I hate to break it to you, but……Ok, no, I am quite happy to break it to you – Wildfire is and always has been an amalgamation of a Dirty Pair (Flash) homage merged with the antithesis of Rogues most defining character traits (intellegence -> scatterbrained, arrogant overestimation of skill -> understated incredible raw aptitude, precision -> recklessness, highly apathetic -> infuriatingly eager, and so on), and I am both amused and dismayed that at least one person considers her some kind’ve backlash to people asking for female characters. Sorry, guys, but the “you should have a girl join the team!” backlash went and passed years before Wildfire appeared in the comic – though interestingly, two years after she was designed. You’d be surprised to know just how far we work ahead, and how much further back we pull ideas and characters to work with. Also I apologise to your eyes if you clicked on that second link. Old art makes me cry even when it was good at the time, and that….not so much.

Anyway. This has been your semi-informative info-dump of the arbitrary time period. Enjoy!

(Cast page is updated, have fun in there.)
