Better Late Than Never, But Better Never Late (April 7, 2008)

Anonymous said... Is there a chance of you doing the nightmare room series? APRIL 08, 2008 2:30 PM

troy steele said... I have the funniest readers I'm pretty sure I've never even heard of the Nightmare Room, tell me more Anonymous Number Two APRIL 08, 2008 5:24 PM

Anonymous said... I'm putting my money on Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes Just... you know, because. APRIL 08, 2008 8:06 PM

troy steele said... I'm staying mum on most update speculation but I will say that from when I started the blog, I knew which book would be my last entry, and that book would be the book that caused me to stop reading Goosebumps, Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes. So you've got at least ten weeks, possibly longer, to wait for that one. APRIL 08, 2008 8:24 PM

Patrick said... It's Thursday. Why did you lie to us Troy? Why? APRIL 09, 2008 6:35 PM

troy steele said... It's Thursday where, the Left Bank? I'm polishing the update right now, it'll be up before midnight pacific time. APRIL 09, 2008 7:07 PM

The World Needs Laughter (March 11, 2009)

Groggy Dundee said... Most recently I read Stine's autobiography (which was fun), the great Piano Lessons Can Be Murder, and The Haunted School, a decent late-original series entry. I think we should do a list of the top x Goosebumps quotes/Great Prose Alerts at some point. My brother cracked up for minutes on end at the Monster Blood II quote about "wiping the smile off Conan's face with his fists." MARCH 16, 2009 9:57 AM

troy steele said... I had the strength of two Kyles has always been a personal favorite MARCH 16, 2009 10:31 AM

C.L. Young said... Along with those, you can also do a list of the top Out of Context alerts. It goes without saying, but they're pretty much the most infamous alerts of this blog. Hell, you don't even have to rank them, just a compilation is already awesome.[/QUOTE] Why wait for Troy to do it? I have some Out of Context Alerts posted on the blogs of the first three Goosebumps books: Welcome to Dead House, Stay Out of the Basement, and Monster Blood. I'm surprised that Troy didn't read into these, considering that he read into the gay innuendo in "Return to Ghost Camp". MARCH 17, 2009 3:19 PM

troy steele said... The "Out of Context Text Alerts" are a fairly new addition to the blog (within the last year or so). I know they're popular, but I've cut several right before posting because I think in general they're a bit much. MARCH 17, 2009 4:22 PM

Ascension said... I'm trying to be optimistic about how long this delay has been. He's making it hard, but I'm trying. MARCH 31, 2009 6:10 PM

troy steele said... If I promised a date to update and then something came up, you all would be a lot more upset than if I just kept it vague like it is now. I will write an update as soon as I can allot the time to do so, I swear. Thank you all for checking back so often though, you're true blue. Print yourself out a certificate to that effect, fax it to me, and I'll fax you back your copy with my signature and special seal affixed. APRIL 01, 2009 10:29 PM

Sadako said... Anonymous--ah, I get it. But would that really be so wrong (building up a buffer)? It would be pretty convenient, at any rate, for both him and us. APRIL 02, 2009 12:32 PM

troy steele said... I did it once when I wrote the entries for the two original Mummy books back to back. Then someone commented with a pun I had already made in the second, un-posted entry and I decided never to write ahead ever again. APRIL 02, 2009 1:56 PM

troy steele said... True believers, your faith will be rewarded soon APRIL 30, 2009 9:29 PM

troy steele said... I'm just waiting for expectations to get a little bit lower before updating MAY 17, 2009 6:33 PM

troy steele said... I am writing the update RIGHT NOW and there is a Tim Conway joke in it, which should certainly alleviate any worries that I've lost touch with my readers' interests during the hiatus MAY 23, 2009 10:27 PM

I'll get right on that, Boss (April 12, 2011)

Retro Oasis said... To quote a Backstreet Boys song (eh, because it works I guess) Quit playing games with my heart. APRIL 13, 2011 7:42 AM

troy steele said... This isn't the sort of site that encourages pop culture references APRIL 13, 2011 9:52 AM

Groggy Dundee said... I'd honestly be content with Troy finishing the Series 2000, and maybe the remaining Triple Header/short story collection, and calling it quits. It'll take the better part of a millenium for him to get through Horrorland at the current rate. APRIL 17, 2011 12:05 PM

troy steele said... The blog's going back to weekly updates, so you're right and you're wrong APRIL 17, 2011 12:25 PM

Groggy Dundee said... That's great news Troy! If by weekly you mean once a week. APRIL 17, 2011 1:20 PM

troy steele said... Every Monday, starting tomorrow. You heard it here FIRST, Comment Page APRIL 17, 2011 1:27 PM

squirrl said... This is gonna be awesome. Can't wait for Earth Geeks Must Go! APRIL 17, 2011 2:46 PM

troy steele said... First entry's going to be a little different, if only because were I to write a normal update for Earth Geeks Must Go, it would be two paragraphs long. Prepare thyself APRIL 17, 2011 2:47 PM
