Reply Subj: I think you're supposed to run some kind of program on your computer when that happens.

    I had to get Drury waaay off planet for that whole plot to work.



    Quote:
    I would expect that he'll have much the same reaction as Garrick to what happened while he was away. Maybe with calling a few more people "Yahoos" and assorted profanity. Still, one wonders if he knew about the project to build that machine "just in case it becomes necessary". It's a balancing line to walk when you know secrets that you don't agree with... leaking them requires good judgment, and good timing.


It'd be fun to show Drury's actually - and loud and explosive and profain - reaction to this, but the danger is that the story becomes a long queue of people lining up to shout at Hodgekiss. So I had to ask myself: who do I really want to see shouting at Hodgekiss?

      It's one thing being able to cause Klein to drop down dead, it's another to do so without provoking reprisals or losing credibility. And Klein has always been a front woman for other interests.



      Quote:
      More on that soon.



    Quote:
    Yes, I do recall that she has seemed to be working for someone in the past. There's almost always a bigger fish, after all... whether the smaller fish know it or not.


Klein is powerful and vindictive in her small pond; but she depends on the protection of sharks.

    I too noticed the change in his costume colors, but I had just chalked it up to an outward expression of his anger. We haven't seen much of PAPG in a while, have we? We should really bug Kirk to keep us updated on his cast more.


Another problem I've had to avoid is the temptation to fill up the chapters with the vast roster of CSFB!-enablers who might reasonably turn up to support him in his hour of need. I had to ask who do I really want to do that? Assume all the rest have been bundled off to safety on a Spokane Indian Reservation at the first whiff of threat by Hodgekiss.

      No, Icy lived with his mum. He's detouring to Herringcarp Asylum to see if he can convince the Hooded Hood to do anything about that dead thug.



    Quote:
    Well, I'm sure that will end well. Of course, with the Hooded Hood it's hard to say when things end...


Next issue the Hooded Hood gets archvillain-y. It's past time he did some nasty stuff, and his nasty stuff comes in very different forms from the Carnifex or the Parody Master.

      If a major death avatar visits the mansion they'd better have cleared it with the Lair Banshee first.

    Good. We like to keep the riffraff out.


Really?

      Randy was negotiated with poster-Josh in our last correspondence.



    Quote:
    The name is definitely on the nose for that family. Well, at least Tandi will be thrilled to meet him. I'll reserve judgment until we see how much of his cousin's good traits he picked up.


Noted.

    Good luck on your deadlines... try to sleep sometime in there as well.


I actually had to pull off the motorway this afternoon and sleep for half an hour before driving on.
