Lol, kinda funny to think about - that with Wing was running, e-mail wasn't really a thing yet...
Of course, on the flip side, very sad to think about that one of the major things that Wing critiques is drone warfare, which is still an issue today...
Lovely Black Ball art, and looking forward to reading your short story!
It definitely stood out to me. Like wait, they can make super advanced mobile suits that have radios in them and there is some level of computer technology to run them and the space ports and all…yet we’re still sending letters?
Hey Melissa! Congrats on gearing up for Black Ball this year. The new promo image looks great. Interesting that substack now allows for drop caps, ha-ha, but in my email (where I typically read your updates) it was not visible. Not sure any of this makes much of a difference, but thought I'd let you know so you have a better understanding of this new feature's compatibility.
Perhaps it's only on the mobile app and desktop version? I was so excited that I had to talk about it a little bit. 😂 It's the little things in life that please me. Thank you for the kind words! It took me awhile to figure out what color palette I wanted to go for. With Black Ball, I tend to use a lot of pink and brown (1920s era colors) but I just really wanted to shake it up this time! 😁

But, on the other hand - if they weren't still sending letters, we wouldn't have gotten this iconic scene: https://youtu.be/rHP4YomVaJo !
