I know I for one will be glad to be rid of the old universe. As good as it was, it was just getting to big and unwieldy -- there was too much to keep up with. And I tried to keep up with both the MBL and TOMB at the same time, but I never had the time to figure out the JAMB, TIAMAT, and other teams. I just thought it was TOO much.
I'm also finding myself with less and less free time to do this kind of writing (with school, work, and personal life "getting in the way"), and I'd prefer to concentrate on exactly ONE thing at a time: this New Universe, and the possibilities that lie therein. I'd suggest that if we want to finish the War trilogy, that we either put the New Universe story on hold, or wait until that's finished and finish the War trilogy, and then go back and continue on with the New Universe stories and forget about the Old Universe. There's no way I'm going to put a lot of energy into keeping up with both stories at the same time... I've just got too many other things to do, and this is supposed to be fun and a diversion for me, not an obligation.
