NO NEWS FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

by Hazed

The Fed2 Star is taking a two-week hiatus in February. It’s unusual for us to stop for more than a week outside of the Christmas break, but there are exceptional circumstances.

And no, it’s nothing to do with the newsdroids going on strike to improve their working conditions. I don’t know who started those rumours but they are not true at all. My newsdroids love me and are perfectly happy with the way I treat them. Fact.

No, the exceptional circumstances are that Alan will shortly be moving house, so is spending all his time packing. Anyone who has ever moved will know how traumatic it is. So he’s not had a chance to do any more work on ship fighting and won’t be able to do any programming until he’s safely installed in his new abode and has got the computer set up again. Neither will he be able to write Winding Down until the move is complete. I’m not sure exactly when that will be, but certainly not for a few weeks.

In addition, I’m finding it very hard to source interesting stories for the Real Life News part of the Star. The media is dominated by one really important issue these days: BeyoncĂ©’s pregnancy. No, of course, I mean the antics of the new US President Trump, which is pushing aside a lot of the news I would normally steal/copy/borrow/research to write my stories.

So the Star will be back on February 26.
