Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A

Nicolaus Meridius March 18, 2015 March 18, 2015

Q: I know Tony Stark, Bruce Banner & Clint Barton exist somewhere in the Sylum Universe. Will any other Avengers be making appearances or do they not even figure into Sylum anywhere?

A: Yes and No is the simplest answer. In typical Sylum way: how you think it will be won’t necessarily will be how it is. Wow that was cryptic. So yes in some form you’ll see Steve Rogers, Thor, Nick Fury, Coulson, and Natasha, but not how you expect it. We will say this – there won’t be any ‘The Avengers’ or ‘Shield’.

Q: Are you going to do anything for the UK dramas… Lewis / Death in Paradise / Foyles War? Is it possible to bring Morse back to life?

A: Funny you should mention that considering who’s bio I just finished last night *cough* Lewis *cough*. Camelot actually showcases many UK shows and history. And well as for Morse, how can you not have him.

Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A

Nicolaus Meridius March 11, 2015 March 11, 2015

Q: Karl Urban is present in the various clans, will we be adding more of him from places as Almost Human, Judge Dredd or RED, which also has Bruce Willis another face that has popped up a few times in different clans.

A: There is no move to bring in his characters from either Almost Human or Judge Dredd. There is story idea more like a lurking bunny for his character, William Cooper, in RED. As we do have Frank Moses as a Council Spy – its likely at some point Cooper will show up. When, where, how – Bob isn’t saying at the moment.

***

Q: 2015 Sylum Con Dates set yet?

A: There will be no Sylum Con this year. Due to RL and also prepping and trying to get everything done for the 10th Anniversary there was no way we could take out the time to plan a con.

But!

There will be one in 2016. It will be held in Los Angeles. More information will be available later this year.

Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A Session

A few weeks ago we put out to everyone to ask us a series of questions about Sylum. It could be about characters, story lines, how we do what we do, or even about the Bobs. I have to say we received over 40 Questions.

47 to be exact.

Now I’m not going to answer every single one of these in one sitting. So over the next, well 47 weeks or so, we’ll be posting at least one question and answer.

After the question is answered, feel free to comment or ask follow up questions on the post.

Shall we begin?

Q: Is there any other vampire who has just as many, or more, known “fathers” than Dean Winchester (I believe he has 4 so far… or is it 5, I lost count)?

A: Dean has … hold on let me count … John, Bobby, Clay and Van Helsing – so 4. To answer the question – yes there is someone who has more. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Up-date: Clan War 10th Anniversary

Nicolaus Meridius February 4, 2015 February 4, 2015

10th Anniversary Up-date

As you know we’ve been working on this for a while, and believe me it will be worth the wait!!

There has been some RL situations that have caused us to be behind schedule – nothing we can do about it, but go with the flow.

So yes, this year you will get the 10th Anniversary Edition.

The goal is still set, but please realize that we do have lives outside of Sylum and sometimes they suck and we can’t put 100% of time into where we want to.

In the meantime.

We’re still taking questions! We’ve had some good questions, ideas, and comments. Keep sending them.

*Also if you can’t see the Contact Form – just reply to the post with your questions.

Sylum 10th Anniversary Q&A

We’re going to do something a little different today.

Instead of me asking a question to discuss – I’m putting out a form for everyone to ask a question.

Ask anything you want about characters, art, clans, storyline, the bobs, the history of sylum, the process of putting all of this together, the amount of headdesking and crying that takes place…

Each Contact Form will allow Three Questions! Be creative, think about the past 10 years, what you’ve read, seen posts/comments about, the characters & clans…

We’ll be collecting questions until February 5th – this will encompass two Coffee House Fridays!

Disclaimer: We’ll answer every question – but we won’t reveal trade secrets!

Clan War - 10th Anniversary Edition / Sylum Stories5

10th Anniversary: Kiss of Death

Nicolaus Meridius November 3, 2014 March 1, 2020

You can’t kill someone if they are already dead…

It’s how it all started.

Well actually it started when Rory Cochrane decided to leave CSI: Miami (good decision there Rory) and the writers came up with the stupidest way to remove the character. Oh yes let’s not actually put any effort into this – lets kill him because he didn’t clean his gun. *eyeroll*

To quote: Seriously serious with this!

Anyway. As stated in a previous post, the rash of OMG Speed didn’t Die!! Fics began. The 10th Anniversary Lost Son Video showcased a few of them. What can I say I worked to come up with a million different ways to fix that particular stupidity.

Then ‘You can’t kill someone if they are already dead…’

Kiss of Death was supposed to be a one off … waits patiently for the laughter to die down … done yet? I had no idea where I was going with that story or that it would still be in my life 10 YEARS later.

Today is the actually 10th Anniversary of the posting of Kiss of Death. *shakes head* Still can’t believe it’s been 10 years. And to celebrate that moment we’re posting the 10th Anniversary Edition of Kiss of Death.

First off you’ll notice the changes from the start. When KOD was first written I was making things up as I went – literally was like blah blah blah oohhh that could work blah blah blah. Now we can look at the story and put in more detail from what we know more about these guys, add in timestamps that were later written that fit nicely in the arc, and basically pull in threads tighter that either didn’t go anywhere or take them up again.

There will be some changes mainly on the fact some ideas I never liked, some ideas never went any where, and some characters who are annoying twits who demanded more attention.

Quick note: the original Clan War will not go away. It will stay up on the Archive as a tribute from where we started. But as time goes one to understand storylines you will need to read the 10th Anniversary Edition.

Now with no further delay.

10th Anniversary: Lost Son

Nicolaus Meridius September 20, 2014 October 2, 2019

*I was kind and didn’t actually post a pic from that episode*

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since that episode. Think about that 10 years. Ten years ago we didn’t have iPhones. Twitter. Instagram. Tumblr. Facebook was a baby.

Ten years is a long time. Hell in my own life I was laid off from work, got a new job, and then rehired back at my old one.

Ten years of stories, art, videos, drama, attempted coups, and headdesking. No one will forget the Jim West debate. The ‘Driving off on a mustang’. The Rodney is a virgin and Shep a Confederate. *if you don’t know these things I’m not sure if you’re lucky or missed out*

When rumors hit that Rory was leaving CSI: Miami I was like you got to be kidding me – I watched the show because of him. When snippets and info got out of how they were removing the character … I just got pissed.

Irony I was on vacation (with the now ex) and wasn’t home when the episode aired. I had to wait a week! A WEEK! Before I could sit down and watch it, though part of me didn’t want to – I already knew the ending. When we got home the Satellite Dish blew over in a windstorm – ex was bitching … me was like I don’t really give a fuck – just make sure Miami was recorded. Luckily the dish blew over after premier of CSI – obviously it loved me. Ex on the other hand didn’t get his shows recorded *evil smirk*

Finally ex was at work. I sat down grabbed the tissues and proceeded to ball my eyes out and cursed the writers. I had started writing fanfiction before that just barely a few things here and there… some that will never see the light of day EVER! I hadn’t quite written slash (oh read it but not quite wrote it). So first fix-it story was Gen *and yes you can find that story in The General’s Office – along with all the others*. Then I said fuck it and wrote the slash… a story here, story there… and then it was born.

Yep.

Sylum.

How that particular bunny changed my life is a whole different blog post. Today we’re celebrating … ish the 10th Anniversary of Lost Son. There I said it… that Episode.

This is the unofficial kick off of the 10th Anniversary of Sylum – think of it as the pre-game events. Starting next year we’ll be doing a lot for the 10th Anniversary – including 10th Anniversary Editions of Clan War. Artwork. Vids. Music. Trivia. Q&A … the list goes on.

Today we showcase: 10th Anniversary – Lost Son Video.

*hands out tissues*

Note – sit through the whole thing it’s worth it!
