Does any one know what happened to the BBV website?

It doesnt seem to be online anymore.

finding a copy of Erasing Sherlock Holmes?

feeds@yuku.com (Zagreus) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 04:49:25 GMT

So I've been looking around and it seems pretty much impossible to find a copy of the original Erasing Sherlock Holmes. I was just wondering if this was not, in fact, the case, and, if not, could anyone point me in the right direction?

Much thanks either way,

Newton's Sleep - and why I didn't like the ending.

feeds@yuku.com (sporks5000) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 03:28:09 GMT

I recently finished reading the (relatively) new Faction Paradox novel "Newton's Sleep" by Daniel O'Mahony and while I was very pleased with it on the whole, I found the ending to be a little bit disappointing. It's not that it wasn't a great ending - it pulled off the job rather well and actually brought tears to my eyes - but the fact of the matter is that that's all it was: a good ending. It was good at being an ending. Change the names and a few of the...

Revisting the secret messages....

feeds@yuku.com (NullandVoid) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:59:51 GMT

So, I've been hiding in the shadows awhile, reading the books, listening to the audios and every once and a while revisting the original Faction Paradox site in the Internet Archive... I've glanced through the topics here and I've noticed that no one seems to have picked up the final (?) few letters of the secret message:

The Enemy is in fact a not in any way

I know people speculated that it would read The Enemy is in fact another house, but that turns out not...

'Lucy Cailloux' from 'Grass'

feeds@yuku.com (Zagreus) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:42:50 GMT

So I was halfway through discreet mathematics final exam when something occurred to me( not the best time, I know);

The French woman in Grass is named Lucy Cailloux. She acts rather odd, unlady-like, and seems to know a lot more about what's actually going on than she should. There has been some discussion as to whether she is from the Faction or not, and I can't answer that question. I would, however, like to point out that "Cailloux" was the term used to describe...

I wasn't sure whether to put this in this forum or down in the ER section, but here goes:

(oh, and this thread contains spoilers for The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel, btw)

So, in Damsel, two of the main characters are (explicitly stated as being) a pair of Cwejen gone a bit mad. As such, we are treated to a bit of exposition on the nature of Cwejen 'culture', such as it is. I was just wondering if we...

Great news on the website, looks great! I've just ordered About Time 4+5, love the free postage to Australia. Eagerly awaiting any news on continuation of the Faction Paradox novel series - will Random Static also be carrying Fluid Links when it is released by Mad Norwegian?

Embarking on Warlords of Utopia

feeds@yuku.com (Yssgaroth) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:37:36 GMT

I'm about to continue my journey into the Spiral Politic after reading The Book of the War, This Town Will Never Let Us Go and Of the City of the Saved... with Lance Parkin's Warlord of Utopia.

Do any of the fine members here have any 'Things To Watch Out For'? in this book (cross-refrences to other novels, links to the Whoniverse, favourite page)?

But does he have angel friends?

feeds@yuku.com (doloras) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:47:40 GMT

The editor of wellknown political blog FiveThirtyEight.com is named Nate Silver. Which is either an eerie coincidence or possibly the most famous FP fan in the world today.
