I'm not much of a reader, if I'm honest (I don't think I've ever finished a novel in my entire adult life), but I've just pre-ordered to show my support and since some of the money goes to a good cause and your words about Stonewall Vanguard made me smile :)

Once it's released I'll definitely try and get it read .. my BF is a big reader so if nothing else I'm sure he'll read it :)

I think the version I ordered was the digital version? I'm not sure how I go about ordering a physical paper-back ... unless maybe I can't being from the UK?

Heyya Hal,
Bless you for this honor and supporting the book for the kids. You're an Officer and a Gentleman. And I quite mean that in the figurative and literal sense of those words. /SALUTE

To your question, I had to email the publishing company for help answering that, as this is my first RODEO in publishing a novel and its release protocols I'm not familiar with yet. Here was the answer:

******************************
Hey William,
We don’t list the paperback available for order, or for pre-order, until we have actually created it. This makes sure that the price listed on the website is correct, and that we don’t offer any product we can’t immediately fill.

Once Eight Seconds is finalized – proofed, galley, etc. – then Megan will set up the paperback and it will be added to the site for purchase.

Also, he’s not mistaken in that being in the UK will adversely affect him. Unfortunately, we can only offer shipping to the U.S. for purchases through the Book Market, since shipping prices fluctuate so rapidly through our distributor. Thus, he’s got two options for that: he can buy through Amazon or B&N or another larger distributor, or he can contact us when he’s ready to make the purchase ( admin@lessthanthreepress.com ) and we can send him a custom invoice (with the 25% LT3 market discount and the current shipping rate, which actually isn’t too terrible for European customers as our distributor has a printer in Europe somewhere).

*********************
Well, at least we both leaned something today.
Hope your BF enjoys the story! And you too, if you decide to give it a go! :)

LOL oh my.... kittens in cups.....

I've been wondering around this site and I'm a little confused about some things. It appears to be a swtor guild site with the logo and a lot of the content on the homepage but STO and GW2 are subtly featured here too. And then a lot of you have tons of people on your friends lists that aren't guild members or even play swtor.

Hahaha what is going on here! Mind you i'm just curious. Why does it look like a swtor guild site instead of a gaymer community site and how'd ya'll connect with all these other people?

So, Stonewall has an official presence in three games: Star Trek Online, Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR. Together, the entire community forms the Stonewall Gaming Network. The website for each of these guilds is the same, but each game has its own portal to the website that has a different look that's themed to that game.

Star Trek Online (Stonewall Fleet): http://fleet.stonewallgaming.net
Star Wars (Knights of Stonewall): http://knightsofstonewall.com
Guild Wars (Stonewall Vanguard): http://stonewallvanguard.com

Hope that clears things up! :D

Maybe someday we can create a main SGN lobby page with visible and selectable guilds.

if i could like this post a hundred times myself, i would. x 100.

It is a multi gaming community, we have big presences in Star trek online and guild wars 2.

Awesome Khazaan, thank you so much! :cheer:

I didn't realize there was an "old German" until I started looking deeper into German history. I wasn't sure if what was on the postcards was old or new, good to know!

I checked the link to the address book (1872) The only town i see listed though is "Mansfelder" which I assume is the same as "Mansfeld"? No listing for my family name unfortunately. Good information though, I cant believe they have a PDF copy of an address book from 1872?!

I wondered what the "Stadt" portion of the stamp was, i thought it just meant town or city? I see they built a 3 part fountain in honor of Martin Luther. I was able to find the cities official website! I'm going to try the sites "Contact Us" form to see if anyone responds.

Thank you again for your help, GREATLY appreciated! :)

Oh that's good. My hope is that those individuals will introduce themselves here in this thread with character names and all
=D

Yes, we've got a small but dedicated group for both the Republic and Imperial guilds.

So, does anyone know anyone who is still actively playing swtor?
If there's any kind of action happening, even if it's just one person, I'd like to take advantage of the server transfer sale to move a character to Harbinger. It would just help to know which faction that said possible person(s) is playing on.

Also, I can easily be reached at my FB page to set up play dates =)

Oh, I just learned, that you are also into geneology - I am too! *hurray*

I will try to download the pic and zoom in. Unfortunately its the "Old" german handwriting from about 1850th ...

I will ask someone old in the village who still can read it and note it down.

(is there a function on this forum to mark threads so not to search for them?)

It will take me some times till I find one in the eldery home I guess, but will help.

Can read lots of it but not all!

Oh- and that Mansfeld (with town rights - thats why its "Mansfeld Stadt" on the stamp) directed me without a doubt to "Lutherstadt" - another name of that town because of Martin Luther - the church reformer - living there for a very long time. Its in Sachsen-Anhalt which were in 1910 seperate countries Herzogtum Sachsen-Altenburg and Herzogtum Sachsen-Anhalt-Gotha.

Maybe this "Adress book" might help you ...http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Kategorie:Adressbuch_f%C3%BCr_die_Provinz_Sachsen

This sounds so much fun and work for Gareth "Mr.GXV3" ... I hope not to much work :whistle:
