Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: EmilyGrrl ---I don't know much about Jeph's personal life (I don't read his blog or anything) but I do recall him mentioning getting sober at some point in the comic comments. I don't know if he was ever hospitalized as a result of his drinking, but given the title, I think it's likely he has. Can anyone clarify this?

That was an amazing post, by the way.
Jeph has been pretty open about his problems (mod) but I feel more than a little uneasy being the one to talk about them in public (/mod).

Welcome back, old people!
Jeph is probably on the same power grid as the most heavily affected areas.
Faye reacted to the suggestion of getting help with such fury precisely because she knows she needs help.

Hello! Thank you for the welcome!
This is all going to be very crazy and probably not completely predictable as it can go 400 ways (except for Hannelore disposing Marten's couch). Faye knows and is friends with pretty much the entire cast. It will be odd if she is written out of the story for a while. Wondering how will this change her. A lot of people predict (and hope) this is her "rock bottom" and she is a main character so it is probably the case as it'd be heart-breaking to see her continue down that path...but do people in real life always pull them out after such a thing? I've see too often it continues the other way...but this often was with people who didn't have a very broad support network of (mentally-healthy) family and friends that Faye does now.

Another looooong time reader here - I had an account for QC forums at one point, but I either picked such an obscure screen name that my older self isn't with it enough to remember or it was a previous incarnation of these forums. Anyway.
Obviously like so many others this current story arc has brought me back here; not necessarily because I have my own profound insights to add, but after following along with these characters for close to a decade, I've found myself wanting to surround myself with others who have seen them through all their ups and downs. There's talk about which characters from the QC universe will band together around Faye to comfort her and each other, and I think it says so much about Jeph and his writing that many of us have flocked here to participate in our own version of that.
And to respond to the person who questioned whether it's better to have no memory of events or have snippets of lucidity during a blackout...I'm firmly in the 'no memory' camp. I don't drink anymore, after having my own terrifying moments of rock bottom, and I still find myself kept awake some nights with flashes of memories of moments I wish I could take back.

What Jeph's been willing to say in public about his history.
Old people returning, if you're looking for the set of people who were active in the old days, they migrated en masse to a site called pocketjury, and there's been one more move since then and I've lost track.
