First off, this update isn't written by Michael Serpent, but by rotschopf & Maria. We're afraid we have the worst news possible. Michael-- has left this world before his time was up. He wanted everyone to know that he didn't commit suicide, but has passed away peacefully after a long illness. He has left his unfinished stories in our tender care, giving the exclusive rights to them to rotschopf. We still don't know what we will do with them, if we're going to leave them unfinished or if we will finish them according to the plans he's left behind. Only time will tell.

In the meantime, remember him. He tells you to "keep on writing, as the fantasy world is one of the rare safe havens for us in this cruel and cold world. As long as diving into it gives you comfort and pleasure, just remember to do it." If you have anything to contribute to his memory, please consider posting your fiction, art, poetry etc. to

Please, don't forget him. As long as we keep his memory alive, he will be alive within us.
