One of the greatest movies of all time was Ghostbusters. It was followed up with one of the greatest cartoons of all time, The Real Ghostbusters (one of the most successful Movie-to-TV translations EVER). The mix of comedy, horror, and weird science was white-hot in the Eighties, and still maintains a loyal fan following to this day!!!

Well, 2009 was over, and it was quite a ride.

I had tears in my eyes on January 20th. We'd survived the Cheney/Bush Presidency. Barack Obama hasn't been everything I'd hoped for, but he's nevertheless started us in the right direction again, despite the efforts of the Teabagging morons, Fox Comedy News, the insurance industry, hate radio, and some rather cowardly members of his own political party.

As I approach the seventh anniversary of this web site, and nearly ten dozen fan fics, I admit I'm feeling a bit burnt out. I've got "Eye of Aretpo, Part Six" (which should be the conclusion) in the works, but after that...I really can't say what will come next, or when.

I'm not lacking for ideas. There's a big showdown between the GBWC and the Necromancer I've been building up to for five years (actually, that buildup is probably part of the problem--I'm not sure I can deliver on it). A story kicking around in my head starring Ray Stantz during the 1990's "interregnum". A slightly naughty shorter piece with the Ghostbusters of the 2020's.

But lately writing stories has felt like a chore. I need some time to recharge the batteries. Feel the love again. I'll probably dabble in some other stuff, and if I think you might be interested, I'll definitely keep you informed about it.

Thank you all for your support over the years. And have a happy and prosperous 2010.
