Quote:

I've managed to black out the many traumas of line-up reshuffle poster negotiations.

I had similar negotiations...which is why I started writing PVB stories that only peripherally involved the original LL. $\:\)$

Quote:

I was surprised in revisiting the folders where I kept my PVB work to find that I had several part-finished stories in progress that I had forgotten all about, that I had posted some stories I no longer remembered writing, and that there was even one complete tale I just never got round to putting up!

Oddly enough I only had TWO left, and the other one wasn't finished enough to bother with, so I deleted it. I'd been posting mostly World Class when the board was slow.

Quote:

No, I wasn't confusing them. I really was referring to your novel-style retexturing of Keiko and co. After all, Keiko herself had a sojourn in the Parodyverse once upon a time, long before Chiaki ever saw print.

Yes, she did. I thought you were relating the two events.

Quote:

I'm told that the market for e-novellas has never been better. I know that Amazon Kindle keep sending me royalty cheques for some I've done.

I hope so, because I'm going to have two of them eventually.

Quote:

It depends what you want to do with it, and whether you think feedback/possibly little feedback from the relatively quiet board would encourage or dishearten you. On the one hand it can be a good focus group; on the other it could be "firing your powder" ahead of time. Only you can judge.

Here I'd probably just post the first chapter to see if anyone wants to comment on it.

Quote:

It was my intention in making Liu Xi's use of void terribly dangerous for a while to be able to showcase her skills with other elements, and to show her problem-solving and other qualities that were not dependent of her powers. Unfortunately the series got derailed by circumstance so I was never able to follow through - until now.

She's a fast learner, though. The more they make her learn, the more dangerous she gets for the rest of them.

Quote:

There's possibly not enough information to place this since I didn't follow on with the Deadeyes series, but I think that Deadeyes #6 or 7 features Vinnie as an LL member, so that must be after the present Untold Tales too.

I probably should hold it for a bit longer then, which is ok because I want to add more to it, and actually finish it.

Quote:

You forgot to mention Violet the Part Time Cat, but don't worry since she's in the next issue of Untold Tales.

She's usually just working at the Bean & Donut and providing free entertainment for the customers.

        is that an available add on? · L! · Thu Dec 17, 2015 at 05:06:08 pm EST
        
        It may be a limited time offer. · HH · Thu Dec 17, 2015 at 07:15:42 pm EST

- Ah, those happy memories of playing House of the Dead: Overkill. Well, with a plot this time... · Manga Shoggoth · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 05:04:29 am EST
  - It's those sharp plot twists that you can cut yourself on. And then you smell of blood. · HH warns you not to go out to the old summer house in the woods where those kids died in the 60s · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 08:16:45 am EST
    - At the moment I smell largely of varnish. Low oudor varnish. · Manga Shoggoth Summer? In this country? · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 09:33:14 am EST

        Out of character · HH · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 07:04:55 pm EST
        
        Out of character? With a cast of thousands? · Manga Shoggoth · Wed Dec 16, 2015 at 05:29:18 am EST
        
        Out of characters, then. · HH · Wed Dec 16, 2015 at 06:26:18 am EST
        
        That was the whole point of multibyte character sets... · Manga Shoggoth · Wed Dec 16, 2015 at 10:22:57 am EST

        You had to say "easy". · HH · Sat Dec 19, 2015 at 12:12:58 am EST
        
        That's the secret of IT - it is all easy. Of course, being as mad as a sack of felines helps. (no text) · Manga Shoggoth · Sat Dec 19, 2015 at 05:55:18 am EST
        
        That's 'lethal' - 'lethal as a sack of felines'. Do not let the cats out of the bag. (no text) · HH · Sat Dec 19, 2015 at 10:22:38 am EST
