YES!

It's finally happened. I've been working on the outline for 24AU since DECEMBER 2003.

And now it's done.

This morning, I wrote what is my final outline for 24: Altered Universe. I'm ecstatic. All that remains is to write the scripts.

The end is in sight, and it looks good.

Since I'm in a great mood, I'm going to give you some tidbits about the outline and the episodes within.

The outline for the final 3 episodes (15, 16, 17) came to be 61 pages. That's 1/3 the length the final scripts should be.

Episode 17 will probably be the longest episode, page-wise, yet. An unfortunate necessity.

Like the rest of 24AU, there are characters who should not survive but do, and there are characters who should not die but do.

Palmer becomes a big part of the coming episodes.

I always regretted not involving Agent Tom Baker in 24AU- he was one of my favorite non-main CTU agents. Therefore, he's got a big role in 16 and 17.

The final episode will include a note from the author and a look at what 24AU would have been had I decided to continue it beyond the one day. It will also have a section about how I would do 24AU differently if I had started it now.

I'm going to get back to work, but for now, I'm basking in the glow of my victorious completion of the outline.

Fate, it seems, is determined to make a liar out of me.

I know I promised a new episode at the end of last week. For once, I have a good excuse for not posting it.

I can't. Quite literally cannot post a new episode.

See, on Thursday, roughly 18 hours before I was going to post the new episode, my computer died. My backup files are inaccessable right now, and the episodes are frozen in stasis right now, impossible to get to without repairing my busted computer.

Thankfully, I do still have the ability to work on new episodes of the show, so work continues. It's just gonna be a week or so before I can post a new episode.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope to add the new eps soon.

Outlining continues. I'm working on an extremely rough version of the final episode, and I've gotta say that it's the most action-packed episode of the show. I really like how it's coming out.

Oh, yeah. Look for the next episode of 24AU to be posted around the end of the week.
