Subj: that seems like a big oversight.

Reply Subj: It did occur to me when I named the story that the Library wasn't mentioned.

      They aren't Dead, just Lee is! The Moon Public Library still continues to operate as it did when it's former head librarian was among the land of the living. All through they did have to deal with the IOL trying to repossess the Library but that was pretty much resolved eventually. Ok... It's still a problem. Cosmic Subpoenas, Frequent Material Centurian attacks, nasty voice mail messages. You know, the basic stuff. What to do after Lee dies is even written into the Moon Public Library's own charter since Lee does have a habit of getting himself offed. As far as I know, no one has gone into the Lair Mansion's File Room since Lee's passing & they really should \:\)

    That sounds like a story that needs to come from you.


I sent you an e-mail about this \:\)

    The last time I referenced the MPL it was business as usual. I think. Your last chapters on Lee and Co. left a few plots up in the air, around Lee's possible child and possible fate, and I have deliberqately avoided those strands so as not to confuse matters. But there's no reason I wouldn't bring in D.D. or ALFred if there was a good reason.


When I stop posting stuff there are normally plots in the air because I end up stop posting in the midst of a storyline & am just not sure how to continue on.

    As you'll see next time, the Baroness hasn't forgotten what she saw in the room full of Hooded Hood plots. She's looking into it further. Had Untold Tales been an ongoing concern still rather than a bried renaissance I would certainly have covered the events when she marched into the MPL (or tried to) and demanded their full co-operation in researching everything the Hood would have been doing. That in turn would draw the attention of the cowled crime czar himself. Both of them in the Library would have been... interesting. It might even have provoked the return/resurrection of the Librarian himself to deal with it.


The Hood might of been allowed to enter the Library given Lee's past associations with him. The Barroness would not have been. Not saying she wouldn't have found a way in but The Hood could have easily walked in & very little would have been done to him. He's also probably on record at the Library, might even have an account with them.

      In regards to Sally's question, "Does Ham-Boy create the meat he uses from himself?" It is complicated as stated. Also if there was a "manual" it would have been one written by Ham-Boy himself or member of his family. Actually if I really think about it: If there was a Ham-Boy manual, it would have most likely been written by Hogarth Albert "Al" Harris, Fred's Grandfather. Ham-Boy's powers don't start with him (that's mostly like a thing from his father, presummed dead Air Force pilot Roger McCorkle Harris) but Fred's desire to become Ham-Boy does start with Grandpa Al. Fred's original training for becoming a Super Heroes is partly based off of the training his grandfather received when he was in WWII. It's also where the hame Ham-Boy comes from. But all those things are for another time.



    Quote:
    I suspect Fred was being flippant about the manual.


and he probably was. I was just thinking about if there was an actual HB manual & who would have made it.

Before my writing the recent Chad & Ronnie story, your posting had got me to start writing a new Ham-Boy story, something that I had not done in 5 years. HB had been on my mind recently so that's why I gave a "full" answer on an HB manual.

FUN FACT: My response is the 1st time Fred's dad's name has been online. All previous references to him as just be as "Dad". It's also the 1st time that Mr. Harris' job has been mentioned & that Grandpa Al is former military.

    ]I also suspect he's not quite sure how to relate to Sally. Her usual flirtatious, brazen, pushy persona is probably one he doesn't cope well with. Her current brittle facade of trying to act as she normally does must be even harder for him. But because he's a nice guy he's trying hard to take care of her anyway.


sure.

      Where does the Meat come from? Ham-Boy doesn't exactly know. The current theory among the Harris family is that the meat comes from another dimension. A dimension filled with prepared meat. The "Meat Vision" Ham-Boy uses opens a small crack between the dimensions which allows meat flows through. As far as Ham-Boy knows he can't insert anything into that dimension only extract things from it.



    Quote:
    Sounds like its toime for a major Ham-Boy series that gives us the answers, culminating in the ALL-HAM-BOY CROSS-TIME TEAM-UP ANNUAL!


I doubt that will happen. There has been an idea to do a Ham-Boy Time Travel story for awhile. The original idea was that Ham-Boy & the Juniors (shows the age of the idea) were throws back in time to WWII. Ham-Boy would meet up with his grandfather & some HB backstory would be related.

The HB story I started tried to relate a bit more backstory about HB. I sent in present day & had him reflecting on the what had happened in the last few years. That way I can glaze over what was happening in all the plot threads I left unresolved. The 1 big part of his life that I really wasn't sure about is his involvement in the Lair Legion. Every other plot thread that was up in the air when his series stopped was created by me involving my creations.

The Legion is not. I also don't feel up to the challenge of establishing who the Legion is in 2016. I assume the Legion still exists in 2016 but I'd be up for doing any story with them. In all of my time with the PV: I've pretty much avoided doing any story with the Legion directly. All my Lee Bookman stories from when he was alive & part of the group never featured the team directly.
