Philotic Web

OSC's response to someone asking when the "next book that describes the Descoladores" will be out:

Also, from a few days ago:

I was weeping like a baby for the whole coda sequence of the End of Time. Seriously. Well, I was inwardly bubbling until Rose. Then I lost it. Water everywhere. My wife made me turn in my Man Card. My only consolation was that she was weepy, too. The Doctor's "I don't want to go," broke my...

Also: One thing that we could do with our own wordpress is keep generally updated on other OSC-related news. While many have grown jaded to OSC, still many are still interested in at least being kept aware of release information. I think keeping Ender's Ansible as solely an Ender-themed (movie and b...

Watched Planet of the Dead, and Waters of Mars. Woah. The Doctor just had a total breakdown. It seemed almost like a crisis of faith, so to say. Rebelling against his long-held principles, and questioning the validity and authority behind them. And I totally understand his logical progression: Why d...

This was borrowed from Wikipedia Commons, apparently. Forum member philoticweb made an up to date and more detailed version of the Wikipedia Commons flowchart in this thread . For consolidation and completeness sake, I include it below: This one is helpful because it also shows which stories were t...

also, it's been said before that a key desire is to make the Timelines (as noted in Shadow Puppets, Ender Companion, etc) prominent and available. Until there's a better medium, can we make the Timeline thread over in Enderverse Novels stickied? Apart from the original timeline, it's got some links ...

Here's an expanded one that shows the relative (not to scale) chronology of all the stories and novels:

Thought I'd add this, as it helps show the flow and relationship between Ender's Game, the Shadow Series, and Ender in Exile: http://www.thephiloticweb.net/pweb/EG_TIMELINE.jpg As much as Ender in Exile it's an expansion/direct sequel of/to Ender's Game, it is also very much a direct sequel and foll...

50% of the way through. I can't recommend anybody reading this who hasn't yet read the Shadow Series, or at least plans to. As much as it's a direct sequel to Ender's Game, it is a direct sequel to Shadow of the Giant. SotG, like EG, ends the 'present day' storyline, then jumps ahead to the future, ...

Callbacks are today (see this Tweet)

Sure you can turn it off. From the home screen, go to Menu -> Settings -> Reading Options and then turn the Public Notes slider to 'Off'.

Could we change the Title tag on our index page to have "Ender's Game" in there somewhere?

Thanks!

Umm, I think we (or some of us) started that back in the day. I think I remember making that logo. Oh, it was us. Heh.

Anyone know anyone who's maintaining it now a days?

Love the original Planet of the Apes. Read the original novel by Pierre Boulle in, like, 12th grade or something. Quite enjoyed it, too. The second, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, is even more Apocylyptic than the first one. Seriously. Just when you thought Man screwed the earth up enough one time,...

I'm fine with the RetCon. I'm with OSC, in that he shouldn't feel the need to be holden to off the cuff details he wrote in 1985 that didn't effect the core of the original story. I think things like Stephen King did with issuing a revised and updated edition of his first Dark Tower novel are a perf...

Could we change the Title tag on our index page to have "Ender's Game" in there somewhere? Perhaps: The Philotic Web - An Ender's Game Community' - I just noted on Google when searching for Ender's Game, we come up at the bottom of page 4, and even then, the title is simply: "Philotic...

Like 30% into Ender in Exile. Enjoying the fleshing out of this part of the story. Definitely understand why OSC wanted to expand and explore this time period. It's the very definition of RetCon, but I'm definitely glad I not only read the full Shadow Series (through Giant) , but also War of Gifts, ...

Poor The Doctor Donna :( Although my wife did point out how while sad and depressing for the Doctor, it was wonderful and fitting end of that arc for Donna, now starting where she was when the doctor found her, except now people know she is great, and will treat her as such, perhaps allowing that po...

Just finished Turn Left, going into the multi-part finale of Season 4. Just have to say, the BAD WOLF finale of that episode was EPIC. I absolutely love the 'Action theme' (or, "All The Strange Strange Creatures" as it's called on the album). I've gone from not being able to stand Donna in...

Really enjoyed this show. Some awesome performances. Dushku was, sadly, the least interesting actor on the show. Seems everyone else, however, was incredible.

From OSC's wife Kristine, over at Hatrack forum ( link ) To those confused about the Shadows in Flight ebook publication: The relationship between hardback publication and ebook publication is still in flux. For a long time, OSC did not allow any of his book to be published as ebooks – but that has ...

Finished Shadow of the Giant And I agree - I think, perhaps, I enjoyed this one just as much if not more than Shadow of the Hegemon. And it was fun to finally at least have an idea of what it may have been that led to me being thanked in the acknowledgments *grin* Petra's separation was devastating....

Perfect!!!!

Could there be a way to add an RSS feed to the top of the page, underneath the menu, with a title link to the latest News Story from Ender's Ansible? That could be a fantastic way of more integrating the sites, and keep those who generally come here first to be more familiar with the news as it's be...

Are you actually going, Cassandra? I don't know where you live but awesome if you are.

Sad that the best role I could fit is Theresa Wiggin.

I kind of hope for a series of Shadow-based movies, just so we can see the unbridled snarkiness of Theresa Wiggin in action.

From OSC's Facebook page: "If anybody's watching, Shadows in Flight comes out today. It's a short novel, but a full story. It introduces Bean's brilliant children - the ones with the same short-life giantism that gives them savant-like abilities in every area. There's no ebook for a year, but t...

I'm still nowhere near in the range

Read Cheater: A Han Tzu Story. I thought it was a nice intermission before beginning Shadow of the Giant, especially since SotG begins with a scene featuring Han Tzu! Very simple straight ahead story. I've finally begun Shadow of the Giant for the first time. So far, I'm enjoying it. More bulletins ...

I think the difference is that the reason has nothing to do with his survival - he turns the keys over to Petra, because the result is giving her what she wants, rather than his own survival. As of this point, Bean has no ambitions for his own survival. He has no hope for himself. He sees the end of...

Shadow Puppets This was, in my opinion, the weakest of the books so far. While I enjoyed the Virlomi and Peter/Wiggin Family story threads, I was put off by much of the pontificating over war strategy, and found myself skimming through the majority of it, especially when it went on for pages. Initi...

Well this is awesome.

I'd agree with that.

It's fun that I've finally arrived at the episodes this thread began by discussing

My wife couldn't turn the light off the night we watched Blink. She swore it was because of something else scary she had read, but...

We found the concept of "Zapping you into the past until you live to death" hilarious. That was a great episode.
