I recall that Exile to Hell had a stickie, and made some kind of comment on how rare they were. I suspect it was a case of a decree from GE that the one be included in the story in order to strengthen the link from DL, but that suspicion is based on no facts whatsoever.

There were a couple of stickies in Exile...not to due any editorial edict, though. My choice entirely just to set the stage in the inaugural novel.

A few stickies occasionally showed up or were referenced in Outlanders, but I established early on that most of the DL kind of "muties" were virtually extinct except for isolated pockets.

I had also established that the stickies, sickies, scalies, snotties, snookies and whathaveyou of the "ie" variety were the products of genetic engineering. Not a perfect solutioin but it was one I could live with...at least it had some sort of loose scientific basis.

It has been recently learned that Snookies can (gasp...choke) REPRODUCE!

How many books did you try? I for one gave up at least three times on book one, then made it to book two before giving up, then I made it to three and got hooked. The Outlanders series has to be read as a tale as far removed from Deathlands as you can imagine -and then add a few feet. The story arc flows, develops, twists and turns and takes you in directions you never imagined. Gold Eagle may want you to believe they are linked to each other but with Mark Ellis at the helm you quickly realise that that link is tenuous at best and gets more remote as the books go on.

Give them another go, you may well be surprised?

the outlanders books are not as gud as the deathlands ones the storys dont finish at the end of a book and you have to go and get the next one to see what happends. the main guys in them are not as gud as the ones in deathlands and even the girl with the white her is a copy of jack from deathlands. i wud not even read with them they are too boring.

Harry just put a smile on Mark Ellis' face, that's what he did.

Deftly done, all right.

Classic DL-Only Fan stereotype right down to the Bizarro World/Frankenstein Monster method of expressing himself.

He followed that tradtional script exactly.

When the discussions about new guns, new boots and new muties begin to pale, he got twitchy and inevitably turned to trashing Outlanders...and in classic fashion, staying vague...not providing the titles of any books he might've read or any other specifics.

Absolute chapter-and-verse. He's obviously been practicing.

The reason why Mike said Harry was awesome and Baz and Phantom said he made me smile was because all of us had something of a wager that eventually ol' Whittleberry 2 would get bored, be unable to keep up the pretense and reveal his true identity...or one of the many in his sock puppet collection.


It's always nice to be vindicated.

Hey, guys...who wants to bet that next he'll start whining and whimpering about how he just came in here to smell the flowers and pet the bunnies when he was savagely attacked by the viciious OL Snobs?

Who are black?

Up until that last post I thought HW2 was just stuck with a defective copy of Dragon Speech Recognition software. Now I'm thinking we've all been timetrawled back to 2006.

But I always try to look on the bright side ...

H, Re-read this page of post's,specifically your post on Ol and then Jax2's. All should become clear. Whether this is just or not I know nought.

For me, I dont care one way or another. It would be nice if everyone could just get along and have a laugh but alas this is not human nature.

I dont know how you can prove to the rest of the gang who you are or are'nt.

Hey Ron and Jim, Harry sounds like me when I first came on the site does he not? Haha! Hey Harry. Check this out. I think Outlanders is BORING! And although I agree that we miss Mr. Laurence ang GE does need to DO THEIR JOB YESS I AGREE! However, I love Deathlands with a passion. Now, this is something that MR. Miles, Jim, and have to understand that AT FIRST GLANCE, it SEEMS the idea of deathlands came first and then Outlanders, now that DID NOT HAPPEN, I GET IT? But remember, to say that the beginners are basing this on absolute nothing, well I have one small defense FOR THE NEWBIES. 1986 came before 1997. Now all the Outlanders folks had to say is that they kind of "Star Wars" it, came out with the Outlanders idea first but then then the deathlands ides was put first instead. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Here is something Mr. Miles maybe put a post stating what Mr. Adrian and Mr. Laurence were trying to do for the folks who do not know the series and just "assume".
