3 Years Later, Line Still Held

The Wing Commander Aces Club's Holding the Line PBM is celebrating their third anniversary! That's three years of hard and visible work, for those unfamiliar with the series. Congratulations from the CIC team to everyone involved in HTL! Raptor asks that we post this state of the PBM address:

Hey all, Raptor here

HTL celebrates its third anniversary today, having started publishing chapters via the Aces Club mailing list on the 28th of January 1999. In that time, the project has involved two dozen writers who have written over 150 chapters between them. Naturally, as happens with any fan project, some writers have left along the way due to work and other real life commitments, but the overall story line has remained strong and gained some talented new writers along the way. At the moment, the writing team is working on the finale set in the Nifelhiem system, which will follow the Loki arc chapters now being published via the mailing list and on the CIC. If everything goes as planned, the writing effort will be wrapped up by this time next year, but HTL will continue publishing chapters for another year after that. The biggest and bloodiest battles are still to come, so stay tuned.

Best, Raptor
