    the age of 18 since probably Occultism Kid doesn't want to sacrifice
    the lives of children).

    It will be something like this...

    Looniverse Zero -- LNH dies battling Dekay and Diskolor. It will
    take Dekay and Diskolor 16 years to recover from that battle so they
    can get to the next Looniverse.

    Looniverse +16 -- This LNH will battle Dekay and Diskolor 16 years in
    the future (and most likely die).

    Looniverse +32 -- It will take Dekay and Diskolor 32 years to reach
    this Looniverse.

    Looniverse Middle of Infinity -- It will take Dekay and Diskolor half
    of infinity to reach this Looniverse.

    Looniverse Infinity -16 -- It will take Dekay and Diskolor infinity
    minus 16 years to reach this Looniverse. This will be the only
    Looniverse that Looniverse Infinity will be able to have access too.

    Looniverse Infinity -- It will take Dekay and Diskolor and Infinity
    of years to reach this Looniverse. This is the Looniverse that will
    have all of the LNH, Supervillains, and Innocent Bystanders. They
    will have to battle every other LNH Looniverse before they can get to
    this one.

    So this is my way of having a final battle for the LNH without
    killing anyone.



    (April 22, 2008) Beige Midnight #11 'The Week Before the End' -- This
    will detail the last week of the LNH of Looniverse Zero. Everyone
    knows that they're probably going to die and so they prepare for that
    and their last battle. Old LNH'rs return -- like Sardonic Lad and
    Pompous Lad return from space.

    Maybe I can talk Scav into having Rebel Yell returning (maybe even
    write a small part)

    Probably a big multi-writer issue.

    (April 29, 2008) Beige Midnight #12 'The Last LNH Story' --

    This issue will detail the last battle of Looniverse Zero.

    I think it will end with Cannon Fodder being the last LNH'r and after
    some defiant speech he hits Dekay and Diskolor with a cheesecake. A
    Looniverse Destroying Cheesecake.

    The last scene I think will have the LNH from Looniverse Infinity
    (which basically become the 'Real Looniverse') speculating what might
    have happened on Looniverse Zero (they won't know) and they'll be
    looking at Looniverse Infinity -16 (the only one they can see) and
    they'll wonder what it's going to be like to live a Looniverse where
    there are no Supervillains and Innocent Bystanders.

    So it will be kind of a depressing ending... but I suppose a happy
    ending for all of the Looniverse that will probably be dead by the
    time that Dekay and Diskolor reach them...

    Well those are my ideas for Beige Midnight at the moment...

    -------------------

    So basically the Split Looniverses gave me a clever way of killing off
    the LNH without killing off the LNH. And I suppose if I had been a
    faster writer (or if the other writers had been more eager to write
    stuff) that's probably the ending that would have happened.

    But things didn't go that smoothly and a bunch of deadlines were blown
    and by October 2008 it was still except for a few issues mostly
    unfinished. And it was beginning to look like I'd be writing most of it
    by myself.

    And October 2008 was a pretty brutal month for the US economy and like a
    lot of other people I was affected by that. Went from working 40 hours
    a week to 32 hours with a cut in the paycheck for those slashed hours
    (but hey at least I still had a job so it wasn't as bad as it could have
    been). It was a pretty bleak month with me worrying about possibly
    losing my job and cutting spending so I could get by and some how the
    extra day of free time didn't really inspire me to write more (and I
    probably started to write less).

    Anyway, during that month I did think about the ending for Beige
    Midnight and started to think that maybe a bleak Bryttle Brothers
    killing every LNH'r wasn't the most LNH way to end the story.

    As an ending for a Marvel or DC, it would have probably worked. But I
    didn't think it was a good ending for an LNH story. So I decided to go
    for a sillier Fourth Wall breaking kind of ending. And perhaps I hoped
    that by the time I got to writing Beige Midnight #12 that maybe I'd
    think up something better than that. It didn't work out that way.

    And so this is the ending you got. The one where no one dies. And I'm
    okay with it. I don't think this is the worst thing I've ever written
    or even the worst issue of Beige Midnight (I'd give that honor to Beige Midnight #5).

    So this will probably be my last attempt to do a big epic LNH story
    (don't think I have the will to do this type of thing again). So I hope
    some of you enjoyed this. I'm glad I managed to finish it.

    I still have some more LNH stories left in me (just a lot shorter ones)
    so I'll still be posting stuff on RACC.

    Oh and hopefully someday all of those missing issues of Beige Countdown
    will be posted (although I would completely understand if the various
    writers that reserved issues wanted to quit and never think about Beige Countdown again -- please, you don't have to do them -- I understand.
    Really. Although, hopefully Rob will at least post what he has to the
    LNH Authors Group (or at least e-mail me them))

    Anything else?

    Guess Not.
