UPDATE ~ tenth of march two thousand & six

There has been an awful lot going on lately. A wealth of information has been added to the setting. I highly recommend that you take a look at the Praxis City Directory put together by our own wonderful Joe.        You can also now read the latest group newsletter and see which logs were selected for the January highlight. Enjoy! ~ Rho

NEWS ~ fifteenth of february two thousand & six

Well ladies and gentlemen, it seems there have been a few changes made around here of late. Firstly, you will have noticed most of the writers rambling on about t-shirts of late (yes, I mean you JR), which is all because we've now launched our very own Doom Lounge Shop over at cafepress.com. Go take a look and snag yourself a Doom Lounge top whilst you're there.        In other news, with Joe's excellent and increasingly talented help in the HTML department we've worked our way through over a year of stories. That's over twenty chapters people! You guys are by far too prolific. Anyway, you can now peruse those logs at your leisure over in the archives section. I've also uploaded some character biographies, yep, now everyone can enjoy the convoluted histories of your characters!        Lastly but in no way least, for me at any rate, I've made some changes to the overall layout and design of the site. Just little things to tweak it here and there. All in all though, I think they were necessary improvements. Let me know what you think if you spot any. ~ Rho

UPDATE~ the thirteenth day of August, two thousand and six; or the thirteenth day of Augur, Year of the Dragon 1723, a sweltering hot 'dog days' for our inhabitants of Praxis City.

Thanks to volunteer Amanda McGaha, we were finally able to present our scholarship winner with the award that Rho designed, as well as the actual money order with the scholarship proceeds. David is on the left, of course. And that's me, although you can't tell I'm wearing my Doom Lounge T-shirt by the way I turned. Foiled again!        WE NOW HAVE EVERY LOG WRITTEN ONLINE! At least until someone writes the next log, which we highly encourage. For the first time ever, everything written on the Doom Lounge is on the Doom Lounge website! I'm breaking out the bubbly for this one! (Or at least treating myself to some really good Chinese food to celebrate!)        In the featured log, the aftermath of "A Business Proposal" lead our interpid Praxians down the dangerous road to yet another wedding! Will there be zombies this time? Will the remaining single men retain their unmarried status, with the tide of weddings? Tune in to find out! ~ Joe

        Work started on the gaming portion of the site. "The Chronicles of Grundy" will capture every gaming adventure taken place in Praxis and the surrounding area of Chicora
       In the latest log, we see that Athena's dark handiwork has not gone unnoticed! Will Psyche and Mishka find her trail or be distracted by the sub-plots? Only time will tell!

UPDATE< ~ the twentieth day of August, two thousand and six; or the twentieth day of Augur, Year of the Dragon 1723, as the hot, hot 'dog days' dwindle down to a more comfortable Fall.

       Chapter Forty Six is now complete! With a vampire, ghosts, a Minotaur, an Undead Slayer, and the evil half-golem Croft, we end on a deceivingly light note; two star-crossed
       lovers finally get together! For long time writers/readers, the characters of Psyche and Mishka have flirted with disaster since the early days of the Starship Gideon writing group,
       and across a few writing simulations, including Kal-Dixas Spaceport, until they jumped worlds, so to speak, into Praxis. Now we get to the happily ever after part, right?
       If you believe that, you haven't read the Doom Lounge for long! Isn't Psyche a monk?        With Chapter Forty Six closed, we open the doors to two fantastic logs by JR. On the shores of The River of Forgetfullness, we find our favorite mainstay of the Doom Lounge,
       the infamous Edgar "Egg" Tully. Egg, you've been dead too long! And see what trouble Athena has gotten into without you!
        My wish is that someone is having as much fun reading this as we are writing it!

       In important personal news, Caroline Faith was born September 24th, 6 pounds, 11 ounces! She was born eyes wide open, arms
       flailing, and voicing her opinion to the world. No, she's not sleeping at night yet, but, yes, we're doing great!
       Has parenthood changed us? Well, of course. I find myself showing baby pictures to strangers on the street...which reminds me!
        I need to post a picture on the website! :->
       In Doom Lounge news, Chapter Forty Seven is complete and uploaded! Check out the False Face Society, and the continueing saga of
