      I am tempted to do a later issue that explains where I'd have taken things had the PVB not petered to near-domancy. I was just working up to some quite major stuff with a new team when most of the posters went AWOL. At the same time Shrike turned unpleasant again, making me uncomfortable utilising his cast.

    I know, I hate to have plotlines wasted but at the same time I can't really justify the amount of time it takes to work on this stuff when interest is so low. Still, I know I'd certainly be intrigued to hear where things were going.


As I recall, the main strands I was working on were the Rise of the New Pantheon, Camellia's plot to destroy all non-magical life on Earth, the Hood's forthcoming galactic politics plot, and the origin of Citizen Z.

      Given dwindling responses and mounting pressure of other work I "parked" the writing part way through #349, though the HH Homepage actually even lists the intended chapter titles up to #350 and my plots were drawn up past #360 (which, given the way my stories tend to proliferate, meant I was good to go as far as #380 easy).

        I do have one major story that I full intend to finish when the mood takes me, and that's the Herringcarp Gothic serial. I'd have done it this Hallowe'en but I didn't get the run up time to get into a dark enough mental place.

    I definitely want the end of that one! I need to know what became of poor Wangmundo, after all.


I'll get back to it. I find it easier to write horror when I'm happier, for some reason.

      I can't imagine how it must be to live somewhere where even your home is threatened with destruction by random weather phenomenon.

    Well, it's certainly a freak storm to effect this area, and really the Midatlantic doesn't often have to deal with hurricanes either. Florida, of course, gets them every year.


Being born and raised in a country where an old stone house is the next best thing to a castle I find it difficult to recognise that there are some places where the weather can blow down buildings.

      Nobody dares trick or treat to my house. In the twenty-four years I've been here I think one group made it all the way to the front door.



    Quote:
    Nobody dares approach old man Watson's place. You should hear the rumors about that guy.


The house has a slightly spooky aspect at the front, with the stained glass windows around the door and the big stone archway. It had a reputation amongst the local kids for being haunted before we moved in. A long succession of odd Hallowe'en parties didn't help.
