    Noted. The PVB is too big a distraction these days for it to be too regular an indulgence but it's nice to drop by occasionally.


And it's nice to read what you deliver when you do drop by. I've enjoyed the re-jigging these past few weeks.

    I do have another Untold Tales to post but I think I'm going to wait a few days and give it another pass before doing it. I suspect it might grow a little.


OK, I will be waiting. Feel free to post a little filler for us to whet our appetites.

      Would you say they're easy to write due to the specific characters and your knowledge of them, or is it the genre itself? In other words, would you find it as easy to write a parody-superhero team with a different set of heroes?


    Quote:
    After so long there are plenty of established cast and situations to call back on in the Parodyverse. When I shifted Mumph, Vinnie, and the EEE cast to their own novels it took a bit more heavy lifting.


I imagine so. From my reading of them thus far you have done it well. It's more the new-to-the-whole-thing response you'd be more interested in though I imagine.

    Then it would be too late. I'd say ask my other kids but... what other kids?


*snort*

    I may need to check it out too, since I don;t remember the detail either. The events happened seperately in the UT issues featuring the most recent big line-up reshuffle.


Things were happening fast and furious back then from memory.


    Quote:
    In retrospect I've only ever really spotlighted the Caphans three times, but each of those turned out to be a fairly major storyline. There was the Tenth Caphan stuff with Kaara, there was the conquest/liberation of Caph with their new emir, and there was the homecoming of the nine.


From my memory, the tone of each arch was quite different as well - despite the characters being similar/the same. So I guess in that regard you were successful there.


    Quote:
    We really need the Shoggoth to cough up the links for his Caphan history page. That site has been down for years now.


Come on Shoggoth - get to it!


    Quote:
    It's not really the Caphans that are the problem as the lack of a developed story world to drop them into so they can interact effectively. Maybe if I ever get to the point of novelising the Transworlds Challenge that won't be a problem. We'll see.


Noted.

        I would surely love to check that my now-rather-ancient consent from Shep to use Dancer in stories was still current, though. She'd make an interesting lead character or a foil for Vinnie - and she'd bring Kerry and FA along too.

        Quote:
        Well...you did write her first story, (coincidentally I know this because I was just lurking in the depths of PV/BZL online history earlier - and Dancer's page is still available).



    Quote:
    That was me "outing" a long-time lurker. One of my better arrogant gestures, I suspect.


Is it good to have a list of "excellent arrogant gestures I have made"?Probably.


    Quote:
    As for Dancer's page being available, that's because it, like pages for Donar, DBS, Nats, Epitome and probably some others that slip my mind are all hosted in my website. They've been gathering dust on there for years.


Heh, some of them are greyed out for me already. I've been lurking in your links Ian.


    Quote:
    Collect 'em while you can.


I stumbled across a Shoggoth database page the other day but now I can't find the link for the life of me. History doesn't help either.
