Will the Star Citizen Novella be a hard copy as well as digital at some point? Always nice to hold the book!asked by First Citizen

TL;DRWhether the Novella will get a hard copy is not yet known; it is still at the outlining stage, with hopes of resuming work soon.

That is an excellent question. I don't know, I think we're still trying to figure out, how that's...

The answer is we don't know yet for that specific thing, but I saw there were a whole bunch of Novella questions that spawn off of this one.

There were.

So where is the Novella, what is the Novella?

Well I have actually been working on it weirdly enough. I think the set up for it is awesome, I think people are really going to like that and I'm sort of at the outlining stage of it. Time has been a little tight as late so I haven't had that much time to work on it, but it's coming along. I think again, the setup is really awesome, it's going to be a lot of fun to get into, but yeah hopefully I can start working on it again soon. I think I'll start loosening up a little bit.

Yeah I've heard that before for the past three years.

This is true.

But I should say I love the fact that you guys do all the fiction yourselves. Like back in the Wing Commander days they would say, "Okay here, contract this out to some generic Sci-fi writers" and here it's all people who have a grasp on the universe.

Yeah, I mean we've had some outsourced some really good fiction and the stories that we just finished in Jump Point have had some a lot of really good writers contribute to it and it's great to see that people are able to... again part of the difficult thing with this is contracting a writer to come into sort of an established universe and cause, if you're approaching them because they don't necessarily know the world and you have to help them and a lot of people have been plugging in very quickly and hitting the ground running and making some really cool stuff, so it's been great, but yeah it's always fun to you know, we can be very into learn kind of geek out about the stuff that we write.
