You know, we all write a story introducing a new member to the Junior program.

Quote:

There's really nothing stopping you or anyone from doing that.

Quote:

I know. I do have a half-baked attempt at writing about a new PVB character sitting on my hard drive still, from 2005 or something I think. Never really progressed it though.

Quote:

I don't know that we have the volume of traffic or posters to much adjust the consensus of the Parodyverse anymore. The existing stuff is still there to play with, but new characters would require sustained and regular exposure to integrate.

It wouldn't be much to get things going - well, you'd need one or two new posters eager to write stories - but it could easily take off again. Just needs that 'spark'. Though it would no doubt be new blood - new ideas - and not the PBV of old.

Quote:

That's not to say don't try it, but rather a caution to have realistic expectations. For all our brief reunion bump, the PVB is more or less an historical artefact now.

I doubt I shall progress it much past the idea/paragraphs it is (like most of my ideas). Or maybe I'll reuse the idea elsewhere. In anycase -there was a tie-in to an existing (but no longer active) PVB regular hero so it wouldn't be that hard on old folks minds to integrate. $;\)$

Quote:

I think they all got squished by the Chain Knight, or during the Parody War. It was dark for a while after that.

Quote:

Nope, currently they all died during the Junior Teams Superhero Games circa UT#247 because Danny Lyle didn't exist to save Kerry.

Quote:

I knew he was trouble!

Quote:

So did Kerry. I think that was the attraction.

They're back now though right? I mean, aside from that chair suddenly catching afire, we never saw that everything snapped back to normal... how much does the Hood dislike his son to perhaps leave some things as they were?

Quote:

Weirdly, as I was digging through my long-neglected Parodyverse documents folder I came upon three or four unfinished stories.

Quote:

"Post it you must." /yoda.

Quote:

Perhaps in due course. I only finished UT#251 tonight. And um, UT#252, which I hasten to add is not part of the trilogy, but just accidentally happened.

Quote:

Ha! I saw that coming. $;\)$

Quote:

You did not. You said the trilogy would over-run. I have a double-sized conclusion issue to prove otherwise. And a single issue epilogue to follow. So there.

Very well.
