Reply Subj: It hasn't happened that way with the lottery yet either.

    I don't seem to recall him being particularly interested in Vizh the last time he was in charge. Of course, Lisa was still around then, so I can kind of see how he might have wanted to focus his attentions on her instead.


I'll try and make up for it this time.


    Quote:
    It's going to be interesting to see what Vizh is like as a leader this time around. I'm open to any interpretation, as the character's general intelligence has varied wildly depending on the writer and the needs of the plot. I tend to write him as a little more used to how out of control his life often goes as there's very little he hasn't seen at this point. I see him as being far from on the ball, but much less flustered by this fact any longer. By contrast, Jason tends to mine comedic moments from the character by panicking him (which I don't mind either.)


I tend more towards your version, if only because it is your version.

I try to play up differences in leadership style. If I was summarising them so far I'd say:

Jarvis did the classic superhero thing, the "straight default" leader
Lisa did the den mother and ruled by manipulation and affection
Vizh did the Legion-as-family, with him playing hapless big brother
Finny did the organised war-on-crime version of the job
Mumphrey treated it as a cross between a regiment and a gentlemen's club
Hatty played it like a sports team with him as coach
CSFB! treated it like a Saturday Morning cartoon with him leading a wonderful bunch of misfit friends

As for Vizh's new style... post-Parody War, post-Caphan, father of twins Vizh, we'll have to see.

    Getting back to Amber specifically, can you say whether she's going to continue in the cast in some capacity, or is she taking an extended stay on the sidelines now?


I'd say trying to get he back was an early decision for the Chair, wouldn't you?


    Quote:
    Our very next scene opens with the General going to have a word with Visionary.



    Quote:
    He really doesn't need to bother... Congratulations aren't really in order, and I already have a mug of my own.


The General has some very specific words he wants to share.

    Was that before or after he skinned his innocent girlfriend?


It was back before he withdrew from time and space to be replaced by a series of bad copies that became a joke.


    Quote:
    In fact given that I'll need to cover seven character-introduction storylines it might turn out to be more than one issue unfortuately.



    Quote:
    Do you mean in addition to stuff you've already done with Sally and Citizen Z and Alcheman, or including all of that?


I think the next issue, or probably two issues, will be an eight-section anthology.

      Technically the rest of the membership have to agree, but I guess that G-Eyed, Dancer, and Donar will be for it at least, so there's a majority.



    Quote:
    The rest of the old membership, or the new one? And if I side with the dissenters, is that enough to switch the majority? And on a side note, where does Harper get off judging me unacceptable?


Well, at the moment the official active roster is still CSFB!, Yuki, Vizh, Al B., Dancer, and the Shoggoth, with Donar, and G-Eyed hanging around.

    Good luck with the novella... I hope it comes together quickly!

I haven't even decided yet which of various projects to pick up and run with.
