The February Perk is a short story

The main place I interact with people about my games is Sharks Lagoon.  If anyone is interested, here is the link to the conversation we're having about Finding Miranda:  http://the-new-lagoon.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3960

In that conversation, xCooler2 posted this crazy theory of his.  He noticed that in the first game, Elsa was the female protagonist and (J)ason was the player.  Jessica made a cameo.  Then, in the next game, (J)essica was the female protagonist and (M)arc was the player.  Miranda made a cameo.  Finally, in the recent game, (M)iranda was the protagonist and (L)ucas is the player.  

So he looked for a cameo and found (L)ucile in the food court.  He reasoned that this meant that, from the letters, the next game would be about her.

I was shocked and amazed.  The whole thing was a huge coincidence that I didn't consciously plan.  In fact, there was a point where I was planning to do Miranda's game before Jessica's.  And the conclusion xCooler2 drew was wrong.  Lucile is not the female protagonist of the next game.

But, man, the idea sure was awesome.  It was awesome enough that I briefly considered doing a Lucile game just to keep the alphabetical coincidence going.  But, um, these games take an enormous amount of work for a huge amount of time.  Doing a whole game just for this was ... well crazy.  

So, I did the next best thing.  February's perk for "Partner" level patrons ($10) is a picture short story called "FM: Alpha."  This story will keep the alphabet coincidence going, so may give you a hint about the next major game.  I hope you folks enjoy it.

As is typical, I'll send it out a few days into February to give credit card issues time to resolve.  And, as is also typical, I'll send a link to previous perks, including January's collection of hardcore images that didn't make it into Finding Miranda.  If you're interested, make sure your pledge is in before Feb 1st.
