      Gloating is a very important part of superhero comics. People underestimate gloating as a dramatic neccessity.

    Really... think how much it would help with the ratings for the Olympics. I think there's a little of that in figure skating, but it might instead just be bitchiness.


Ritual mocking could be an Olympic event in its own right.

    Sadly, I don't have a current e-mail for Daio. I talked to Lisa this morning, though. If I remember, I'll try and get the message through next time.


Give Lisa our love too. Add in the usual nag about how she owes us stories and lots of replies.

    Nice to hear Vespiir has more future than she sees. I think the Ebony, Vinnie and Vespiir pairing could be fun.


Everybody's forgotten the vision she had back on Caph where she saw Kerry saying to her "Welcome to the Juniors."

    I'm not sure how much misunderstanding there was, really. It's more like a single entendre.

    Oh, I gathered that was the case for Cody, certainly. Still, this being the Parodyverse, I really doubt the whole Bonsai Kitten thing isn't going to come back to bite him in the ass. So to speak, of course.


We can but hope.

    The technical problem I had was that I needed to show how nasty the Carnifex was by having his minions go after the wider cast without having the whole wider cast slaughtered or making the minions seem incompetent. I hope I've struck a balance.

    I admit, having only seen the movies, I have trouble taking Voldemort (sp?) seriously in Harry Potter since he's constantly thwarted by school kids. I don't mind you bringing in a ringer.


Wisely, Rowlins doesn't have Harry directly confront Voldemort until Book 4 (Voldemort wins), then Book 5 (Harry is rescued by Dumbledore). The final showdown isn't until Book 7 - and then Harry has help.

In fact Harry does remarkably little successful heroic stuff after Book 2.

    I've set myself a tricky one to resolve. I should really start thinking of a way to finish this.



    Quote:
    Probably. I've been struggling to come up with a conclusion to a new story today myself. We'll see if it ever comes together and gets posted.


One of Gaiman's 8 rules of writing is "Always finish what you start, no matter what."
