A couple things:
The story is done - all 5 chapters - after several weeks of lots of writing!
That said, I've decided to do something of a refresher / tutorial story of the Quantum Piett basics for newer readers who I plan to recruit and lead here (TO THEIR DOOM!) before I post the new material. Thankfully, work is incredibly dull of late, so I'll have lots of time to write and hopefully get that done and posted this week.
And then.....I'll post the new stories...
Also, you'll note, I put up an adult warning when you first try to get to the blog. It's because of language - I like to swear in my stories - and nothing more. Don't worry, no sexual diagrams or such awfulness will be posted on this blog. Just lots of occurances of words like "shit" and "fuckbags."

Allow myself to introduce myself.
Hello. If you're reading this, then I am dead.
....nah, I'm not dead. Just pining for fyords.
Ok seriously, time to stop joking.
...
Seriously. Time to stop because I can't actually come up with anything else pithy to tease you with.
My name is Sean Walsh and I'm an alcoholic.
SWERVE! I totally came up with a non-serious comment after all!!
...although now that I think about it I might actually be an alcoh--ok, even I'm getting sick of all this stalling.
My name is Sean Walsh and this is my Quantum Piett blog.
What is Quantum Piett?
Only the end of your sanity and the beginning of your descent into goddamn madness, that's what.
Quantum Piett was created by myself and my friend Michael Ponte in 19-diggity-whatever, as we toiled at our job at a seafood restaurant. Due to exhaustion or dementia, I suddenly verbalized "What is Admiral Piett survived the end of Return of the Jedi, by falling through a rip in space and time?" Ponte, who was probably watching yet another club sandwich he made be unfairly dissected & critiqued by the owner, quickly added "And what if he somehow met Herve Villechaize and they began travelling around?"
We're geeks, by the way. Deal with it.
And then a group of al-Qaeda agents with bazookas stormed the building and we successfully fought them off with large fish and saved the immediate area from the terrorist regime. Or maybe it was a late night rush of seafood platters, clam cakes and tuna melts.
....my memory may be a bit spotty regarding the origins of Quantum Piett, perhaps one or two facts have been distorted by the ravages of time, but that's pretty much the gist of it.
Anyway, thus began the adventures of Quantum Piett - a time displaced admiral in the Galactic Empire of Star Wars, and a dead midget actor who pointed and yelled at planes on a fantasy island - and for the next several years we would tell approximately 150 tall tales of humor, intrigue, comedy, debauchery, stupidity, regret, awesomeness and stupidity again online, to an audience we never really anticipated having.
Yeah, we were pretty much writing this shit for ourselves and putting it online to make us look more impressive. (Well, that was my feeling at least...) Yet apparently an audience of some size actually formed and exists out there.
Then the traumas of the real world intervened and the energy of writing silly stories about comedic cosmic chaos faded away, and so the saga of Quantum Piett ended. There were brief thoughts and event attempts at resurrection here and there, but nothing steady. As time wore on, so did the memories of Quantum Piett.
Then a few weeks ago I did a line of coke and it all CAME RUSHING BACK TO MEEEEEEE. Or I came up with a fun idea and suddenly ran with it.
Yeah, the one without the drugs.
So after a few years off, I managed to relaunch my creative efforts. And in the next few days I'll be posting my first Quantum Piett story in at least 4 years: THE FINAL QUANTUM CRISIS. A riff on DC Comics' FINAL CRISIS jumbled mess of a saga, this endeavor of mine is a 5 chapter story - originally meant to be only 3, but I got chatty with the dialogue and went all over the place hitting every comedic and satirical note I could reach.
The intention is to pick up moreorless where I left off several years ago and return to the world of Quantum Piett, bringing in as many characters as I can remember and reorganizing the cast and continuity for a new chapter of my storytelling abilities.
So if you are reading this.....you've either been tricked into coming here or you actually found it on your own. For that, I thank you and/or apologize to you for what will soon follow...

For further edification, here are some helpful links:
http://www.geocities.com/quantumpiett - the Quantum Piett Homepage, where the 150 prior stories all reside. At some point I'll add the stories posted here to that site, but for now it's mainly to provide context for the tales that will be posted here, as well as a running commentary on my own particular bouts with insanity.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Firmus_Piett - an extensive Wiki entry on the main character, Admiral Piett.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herve_Villechaize - the official Wikipedia entry on the other main character, the late Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize. FYI, the Hervé in these stories is not actually the real guy, just some dude that takes on his appearance and (mainly just the) name & height of the real guy. This may or may not be a disclaimer in case his family finds this site and sues the shit out of me.
