It’s early Christmas Eve where I am so before I got busy I wanted to wish all my fellow Launchies a very Merry Christmas!
This is the holiday card I sent out to cast and crew of Ender’s Game and I’m posting it here to send you guys the same holiday wishes. Inside, it says:
Ender Wiggin is asked to fill in for Santa.
“Keep calm, shoot straight. In 3… 2… 1…”
Thanks to my friend Virginia for doing this piece for me! Merry Christmas, Launchies!
Anyone who knows me knows that I get a little crazy around Halloween, especially when it comes to pumpkins. Years ago I saw what you can do and began breaking my back creating elaborate pumpkins for my myself and my family.
Eventually I started realizing that carving a ridiculously hard design on a real pumpkin is devastatingly hard work and depressing since pumpkins in Hawaii rot in about a day or two. Eventually I started doing foam pumpkins for the special designs, but I do still carve real pumpkins for the kids.
This Halloween, I’ve made some Ender’s Game pumpkin stencils for you guys to download and try out. Later this week I will be releasing the full details for the October 31st Countdown to NovEnder contest, which will of course be my favorite type of contest all year: an Ender’s Game Pumpkin Carving Contest!
Here’s a sample of what they look like!

If you make one before I announce the full rules, make sure to take photos and proof photos (so I know you made it yourself).
Happy Friday everyone!
In the Hunger Games fandom, there’s a podcast that I guest on every week and one of the fun ideas they’ve done for both movies so far is compile a “bucket list” for fans. I loved this idea so much I made one for Ender’s Game. You can watch the video below. Be sure to subscribe to the EnderWiggin.net YouTube channel as well!
How many of these can you check off before Novender 1st?
