    Great show IW, full of your usual plot-twists, long ago established tie-ins, and humorous instances amidst the action. Are you sure you are not the Chronicler of Stories these days? Props to whomever it was who encouraged you to write one more PV story.


I may have over-run my agreed word count somewhat, by about 340%.

    The lovely hyperlinks were very welcome, though I did find myself distracted by them at some stages and enjoyed wandering off into other stories for a bit (not a bad distraction at all).


I considered reviving my usual footnotes but this felt a more immediate way of hooking folks in if they wanted the distraction. The scene with the Baroness and Mumph reviewing how a bunch of obscure stories slotted together in my mind was probably best illustrated by filling the scene with hyperlinks.

    I'm very very glad to see the Chain Knight end up where he did. He is by far your most horrific villain. I still recall his first appearance with chills late at night, so I am glad he finally got what was coming to him. It's a sad end in some ways as his heart was once pure.


This was his third and final PV outing, although he is scheduled for a Vinnie de Soth novel at some point. He may bring friends.

As for him being my most horrific villain, there is another contender whom I'm considering as one of two candidates for the God of Revenge.

    Some great one liners throughout also - I think I shall re-read it to enjoy them all again!


I've just been reading some of my old PV stories for the first time. I was favourably surprised that some of them seemed good.

I've just read the 10th Caphan material and the Sepulchre of Doom stuff that fallowed it. I can't even recall which bits of the latter were me and which were Visionary. I seem to recall that, against type, he did many of the serious bits and I did a lot of the humour.



    Quote:
    Tiny quibble - I wish you had wrote "There is no plural form. All Shoggoth are one" rather than used the 's' on the end. But that's my one and only quibble!


Noted.


    Quote:
    Will we find out who the God of Revenge is or will you leave us hanging for another five years?


No progress on that one this time. That would probably toss us right into the multi part Da Visionary Code storyline.


    Quote:
    I'm trying to think up an Al B. tie-in to write (I mean, why not?) but I haven't really got along very far in the thought process.


Think of a really killer bit of dialogue to cold open with and take it from there.
