The Autumn! She's been hit!
Sometimes I'm amazed this site is still online; it launched in 1999, more than a quarter-century ago, and although it's not quite as lively as it once was, it's still visited by people who love the Halo franchise and love the creations that have been brought into being via that franchise. I have thousands of good memories associated with this site and its community... but few are as cherished as the lanfest I was invited to in 2001, where we celebrated the final chemo treatment of Brian Morden. (If you don't recognize the name, type it into the search bar here; there are plenty of links.) We honor him every February 15, with a symbol on this website... but today I listened to a podcast where his best childhood friend, Brian Johnson, remembered him and his contribution to the Halo universe, and I was reminded, again, how powerful hope can be. (It really couldn't have come at a better time, so huge thanks to Brian - well, both Brians - to the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast, and to Adam Daniel, who brought it to my attention.) Go listen. it's a great story. (Louis Wu 17:01:36 UTC)
