Are you going to cover the Beowulf IIC in the Beowulf article?  Authors sometimes fold IICs into their coverage, such as I frequently (but not always) do.

Yes. That actually was what brought that machine to my consideration.

Just like the Annihilator article will have the three Clan versions.

Looks like the Cyclops article is lost (at least to me).  Could I request a repost/update with the new variants?

I'll reserve the 1/20 slot for the Trebaruna. In honor of my niece's birthday.

Well... My sister gave birth to her first yesterday. Since I have this article on the Flashfire laying around, I'll post it this Friday.

Thank you.  I don't have the time to write these things I used to since getting a full-time job and becoming a mod, especially with some other things going on, and trying to pull articles out at the drop of a hat like I did with the Yao Lien to plug a hole is a lot harder than it used to be.

I understand. Unfortunately, I'm running out of quick run machines to place. I'm still waiting on my copy of 3075 to arrive in the mail. And if I continue to put out Solaris designs, my Asperger's OCD element is going to kick in, and I'll need to find more heavies and assaults to write to fulfill that requirement...  :-\

If you're looking to branch out a bit from the arenas once TRO3075 arrives, you might want to try your hand with the Patriot.  If you want to branch out a different way and take a look at vehicles, let me know over in the Vee of the Week thread.  I should have some more free time after this weekend to knuckle down and start in on the Thunderbolt and more extensively rewriting the Orion, but I'm still waiting on the XTRO Primitives series releases for both 'Mechs.  We know they're in the plan somewhere from the Reunification War RATs, we just don't know where.

As for the rest of you, now's a great time to pitch in if you've been considering it or have an article nearing the ready stage.  Having more authors available lets everyone have a longer lead time on article writing and gives a more diverse range of views in the authorial community.

Since it looks necessary, and I have an article ready, put me down for the 3rd. It's my brother's birthday, and the Aquagladius seems a good fit...  ;D

Son of a...

Any volunteers to cover today?  Bueller...?

If not, I'll... well, I'll try think of something to cover on the drive home from work.  Maybe repost something to cover the gap or dredge the XTROs for a design.

Okay, we have one suggestion of the Patron.  Any other ideas?

Actually... y'know what, Weirdo has a great suggestion.  Plus I can start reading the background on my lunch break.  Patron it is!

Put the Annihilator in for the 23rd. Also, since i have written something on the Porcupine (it wouldn't stop bugging me), put that in for the 30th.

If you guys are still taking requests, I'd love to see a new one on the Wolverine.

We're taking requests but my main concern at this point is finding additional active authors.

For the last two weeks I've been mulling my old Wolverine article because I kinda wanted to see it up again. This seals the deal, I'll repost it. Unlike the other reposts, this one will see a good deal of rework, but I'll still post it outside of the schedule.

Should it become more redux than repost I'll holler and you can slot me into the schedule.

Either way, give me... another 2 weeks or so.

Hmm.  I may yank the Enforcer article out and repost that on the 16th if we don't have anyone pop up.

I'll probably be back to it one of these days.  But the littlist is crawling pretty well and right on the edge of walking, so either she'll be able to play on her own, or else she'll find a way to get into all sorts of trouble and I'll never have peace.

Write me in for the Shadow Cat II at the 13th. It isn't written yet, but I will get it done till then (have some nice and strange ideas floating around in my head - and no, I will not write another auction anytime soon ;))

Moonsword, could you please prepare a Hauptmann article ASAP in which you tell everyone why having that huge Omni powered by a Standard engine is a good, nay great idea?!

Ahem.

No seriously, that in its entirety is an actual request, if possible. I searched the fan article pages and the directory and the first post in this thread and couldn't find a Hauptmann, so I hope I haven't missed it somewhere.
