Subj: I'm sure that any attempt couldn't actually qualify as "dancing".

Reply Subj: As long as you don't try to dance for her.

    That's a relief. Although it's saddening to know that people would think I would ever do anything bad to a character in one of my stories.


Really. How did Ioldabaoth get out of that pit again?

    There are a few wrinkled to G-Eyed's romantic life right now. It would be fun to have a scene where he gets dating advice from his team-mates, especially CSFB!, the Shoggoth, Vinnie, Yo, and Flapjack. It's times like this when we really need a complicating story to suddenly arrive in yellow font.


Soliciting dating advice from the Shoggoth? Brave man indeed. it would indeed be a fun follow-up though, especially with Dancer's brand of chaos setting things in motion.

I wonder who Beth/Laurie would turn to on the team? Would they each turn to different people?

    I haven't really thought it through too much, but if I'd been continuing with weekly UTs I would probably have played it along the Banner-Hulk arc, with their personalities very seperate at first, then sharing knowledge and finally even being able to bicker internally.


It would be a fun set-up to explore... and then later to subvert as well, with Beth unexpectedly coming to during the action, or Laurie coming out in awkward social situations.

    CZ is still drawing her power from Herringcarp but while she's with Beth she's not dependent on it. Beth is to Laurie what a HED is to Hallie.


Aha... terms I can understand, which would confuse general audiences mightily.

    I do eventually need to retrieve Wangmundo though... He shares an enemy with someone who will be needing his help one day.

    He's sitting in a room in Harringcarp just waiting to be de-stoned. Laurie knows he's there and now she's coherent and in possession of her memories she has all the resource of the LL to do something about it. Proceed.


One does not just retrieve large stone trolls from the depths of Herringcarp... Perhaps someday, however. Or I'll just wimp out and do that time skip and put him where I need him ultimately.

    The subplots were all entertaining, although like Al I'm still not clear on the Whispering thing. A set up for the future, I take it?

    It's the first sign of the Da Visionary Code. It's what happens when the Hooded Hood is retconned for a short while and is unable to maintain his embargo of an event that he's been holding back for around three hundred years.

    But yes, a sub-plot for a next issue.


I'll put in my pre-order now!

    The legal showdown was fun too, despite my never having seen the show it referenced. You always do such a good job with the kind of sleazy legal challenges that could be thrown at the team...

    You just know that if there really was a superhero team this is the kind of crap they would het tossed at them.


Oh, indeed. I liked that they used just that idea for "The Incredibles", in fact... but even then it wasn't done in such a ruthlessly vile manner. I'd say "beware an evil lawyer" but it seems redundant. And yes, I miss being able to make that comment to Lisa.


    Quote:
    A request: I know you described the end-of-war picture of Vizh and Hallie's kiss but did you ever post a version or was I imagining that? If you did one, please repost it. If not, please do one and post it now.


Did I do such a thing? I confess, I have searched two portable hard drives and have failed utterly to turn up any stories at all. I'm getting concerned that I may have lost all of my PV work that isn't accessable online somewhere.

In any event, I don't think I ever drew an actual image... Perhaps Dancer made one? In describing it, did I just rip-off the classic Nurse/Sailor kiss celebrating the end of WWII? I could draw that, I suppose. Posting attachments still seems to be a problem, but I could probably figure out something.
