As for Al B., if ever I get back to Untold Tales again he has a fairly interesting role to play in uncovering the Da Visionary Code. So does Kinki.

Hopefully that's not all he's uncovering if Kinki is involved. *snort*

Quote:

I suppose [the chain Knight] is well suited to the Vinnie mythos, though I personally think he'd make a darn good Mumph adversary.

Quote:

Why not both?

They do share the Watsarverse.

Quote:

By the way, this weekend I prepared a manuscript of "The Trandsimensional Transport Company" to send off at the request of a mainstream publisher. Old school stuff, printed out double spaced and everything. I've never been asked for a paper manuscript before. It runs to 400 A4 sides. But don't hold your breath re a book deal, since it all seems highly speculative to me.

Hey that's great! I do hope it works out. Do you make any changes in such cases or is it the same story re-formatted?

Quote:

I'm also a big fan of Balsemeo Andracotti, the Eyeless Artist who sculpts in flesh from an unpublished novel of mine called "The Monster Hunter's Challenge". I always meant to borrow him for the Parodyverse and never got round to it. I think the PV fellow with the pain-experience needles probably came from the same series.

Yes, I thought of him as well (needle fellow) but can't recall who or what stories exactly! Darn my failing memory. If only I'd completed that UTT matrix back in the day.

Quote:

As for the unfinished and unlikely to be finished Avengers Underground, try these links:

Ah you're the best! Thanks Ian - fun reading ahead.

Quote:

[Transworld Challeng] is on my list to rewrite one day as a TTC story, guest-starring Mumph, Vinnie, and whoever else I've introduced that that world by then. But since it would neccessarily expose TTC to world scrutiny, "outing" them for good, it's probably a fair way off yet.

Oooo....exciting!

Quote:

I gave it [Da Visionary Code] a title 15 years back and it hasn't made me write it.

To be fair, it is a great title. Probably needs 15 years of just being a title with no story?

Quote:

Jolly good. Proceed.

"And then everyone live happily ever after, except they didn't, because it was ALL A DREAM!"

Yeah...I'm rather rusty.
