Progress - digest

General
If you got a journal labelled "Pr" from me on your updates page, sorry - I was too enthusiastic with the Enter key. I know I haven't been in contact with anyone in ages, so to sum up:
1. IZ5 will happen. I know I said IZ4 was the last in the series and I'd do something else, but I don't think anyone believed that, least of all myself.
2. Having said that, after writing four episodes with the same setting and games, it's going to be a bit different. Those differences roughly line up with what Alex said was going to happen in the interview page I uploaded last month - I've reworked the set and most of the games so that the whole thing hopefully makes a bit more sense. I just have to work out why on earth according to the plot that gathering points allows more time in the 'final' room, as I sort of skipped over that originally.
3. It's going to feature another guest character like IZ3 did - this time it's a character from someone on the WamAnimeFunland Yahoo group who answered the invitation at the end of IZ4.
4. Because writing these things is always a mammoth task, I'll be uploading it in episodes as they're finished rather than as one file. This means that each part will be reasonably digestible (say, ten thousand words or so) and as long as I learn to write in sequence rather than jumping all over the place and stitching things together as I usually do, it'll reduce the wait until people see some of it. The first of these parts is about three quarters of the way done, with bits and pieces from around the full story complete too.
Hopefully you'll be able to see some of it soon!

You know, it'd be totally awesome to get an artist/artists together to do an IZ comic, start to finish. I'd volunteer, if I weren't so backed up... Maybe someday! It'd be great to see it in pictures too!
Of course, seeing one from you would be incredible too =)
Sorry about not replying much when you messaged me last night, I know we haven't talked in a while but my parents were using the computer :X
Hopefully I'll be able to finish it before the thought of that actually kills me.
