🐉 FROM THE HUB
[The Hub is a mess. Books with glowing covers are piled hither and thither like teetering skyscrapers, sheafs of paper fluttering between. Some of the papers match the luminescent covers while others… Scraps of old lined paper with holes punched in the margins, straight out of someone's binder. They're covered in barely intelligible scrawl, diagrams and hasty illustrations.
In the midst of the mess sits Vren.
The dragon's glasses are askew on his long scaly snout, the wireframes misshapen and the glass within… Has it been melted? Whatever it is, the great cosmic guardian does not look impressed.
A tiny flame licks his nostrils.
'The Author was inspired, little mortal.' There's no emotion in Vren's voice, but from somewhere deep within the mess, you can hear his tail thump thump thump against one of the five great columns. 'She spent all week digging through the Archives, pulling out books. Finding things.'
One of the old, yellowed binder sheets skitters across Vren's forepaw and his stabs it with a spear-like talon.
'Including a new wing in the Archives, or should I say… an old wing. Full of records. Old records.' Another stab, another sheaf of unintelligible scrawl skewered. 'And not a one of them shelved.' More flame, bigger and brighter than before, washes the dragon's snout. 'Not even a shelf.' Vren's voice cracks.
'And who… who does she leave to sort it out? Not the plot bunnies, I tell you. Not the bunnies!']

Hey, hey Defiant Ones!
Ok, so since we're gearing up from the Hero Rebellion 10th Anniversary campaign in November, I've been digging through some old files, finding cool things and… I may or may not have pissed off Vren.
[🐉 Flames erupt.]
Alright, so I definitely pissed off the drama lizard— [🐉 Draconic muttering]— I mean, Timeline Guardian.
[🐉 Muttering stops.]
The Author clears her throat. Anyway, I found some fun things from back in the day when Hero was barely a twinkle in this author's eye, including this little gem.
POLLS: If you haven't voted already, the polls are still up!
I could use your help! I have two polls going at the moment, one to help choose a line from the Hero Rebellion to put on a sticker and two… do you prefer your bling books as omnibuses or individual hardcovers?
The sticker poll closes in a few days.
Until next time, safe travels through the multiverse,
Belinda
P.S. Oh, and just a reminder, if you're not reading this on the website, you probably should because there's some special follower-only content. And if you visit the page and you can't see the special content... you might need to hit the "Join the Rebellion" button.

🐉 FROM THE HUB
[The Hub is empty, save scattered piles of books, their covers glowing with strange light. Beyond the large circular space with its five great columns—each big enough to rival a skyscraper—the timelines shift in slow regular motions, threading under and over each other. Some of them connect, intermittent arcs of light bridging the void between, but for the most part, they are separate.
Of the comic dragon, you see nothing, neither hide nor horn nor wingtip. Not even a scale.
Something moves though… almost too small to see, in fact, you wouldn't have seen it at all if not the flash of a white, fluffy tail and the twitch of a long, long ear…]
Hey, hey Defiant Ones!
Welcome to the very first special Hero Rebellion dispatch!
I'm gonna keep this one short and sweet because there'll be a regular newsletter landing in your inbox soon. Also, a certain cotton-tailed general wants to have a word… (#ifyouknowyouknow). Don't tell Vren.
Anyways, in case you missed it, the Hero Rebellion 10th Anniversary campaign is launching this November, and between now and then there are things happening. Keep an eye on both the regular newsletter and these special dispatches so you don't miss anything.
Since you're on the offical Special Dispatch list, you can expect early access to goodies, polls, quizzes and certain, highly classified *cough* plot bunny *cough* reports.
New poll: I need your help… What's your favourite Hero quote?
Help me choose a line from the Hero Rebellion to put on a sticker! Select your favourite in the poll below or suggest a new one in the comments.
Also, don't forget to vote on the Omnibus or Individual Hardcovers poll!
Until next time, safe travels through the multiverse,
Belinda

[🐉 Vren bursts from the shadows between the two furtherest columns, his eyes wild, fire licking his nostrils and azure sparks cracking around his horns. 'Not the plot bunnies!']
