Quote:

Literary critics can be so harsh.

Quote:

Particularly if they're related right?

I am constanctly braced by my family's general apathy to my writing.

Quote:

I blame my typing. Also weird Microsoft keyboard shortcuts I've never heard of.

Quote:

Yes, but who put them there? And who was replicating your fingers to type that way? You know who.

That's the start of a horror film. Or a police pyschiatric report.

Quote:

I imagine the team will remain the same if I write it again, with possible additional Yo since he/she turned up for the clean-up and the poster was active too.

Quote:

I am rather partial to this line up. Yo is always nice to have for the...nice.

The other characters I'd add in like a shot if the posters turned up to say "yes" would be Dancer and Trickshot.

Quote:

I'm sure [HH] has [Amnesia's] bones, if that helps.

Quote:

But where? In a special chest hidden in a secret chamber? Ground down into dust and put in a vase on the mantle? Under his pillow? (wait - does he even sleep?) Please don't feel you need to answer any of these questions.

Noted.

Quote:

We have an origin of sorts for the Hood, but none yet for Herringcarp.

Quote:

Indian burial ground. Or pre-cataclysmic serpent-men burial ground, or alter to Set.

Well, it was on the east coast of England about three centuries ago.

Quote:

What I need to go back and check sometime is whether I made a continuity error with Marie.

Quote:

Maybe she got un-bansheed in all the retconning and it stuck.

Even that should have been referenced. If I come back to UT again I'll need to check and address it.

Quote:

I also found some books she'd filled with poems and stories that i never knew she wrote.

Quote:

You're not the only writer in the family?

Evidently not. Rhiannon and Alex have both been known to write too.

Quote:

I discovered my paternal grandfather's World War I bayonet.

Quote:

That's awesome, you can frame things like that along with his photo if you have one, and any medals, and stick it up on the wall. I love that kind of thing.

There's tons of family memorabilia in boxes in the maids' attic, including a genuine, bullet-hole riddled nazi flag my dad brought home from the Battle of Monte Cassino, a snakeskin he got the hard way in Burma, my great uncle's assassin knife from his pre-WWI Egyptian tour, and a proper life-sized Victorian china doll and crib complete with doll's hospital repair mark. Cluttering the entrance hall right now is a 4" high Victorian grand-daughter clock.

Quote:

I'm imagining Amazons running amok through Parodiopolis now.

It's every gentleman's right.

Quote:

Yes. I also wanted to lay out much of the Hood's scheming interconnectedness in-continuity.

Quote:

Well laid out. He certainly has been a busy arch-villain. /quote]

I wish I was such a go-getter.

- I don't want to speak for Dancer, but... · Visionary · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 11:58:55 am EST
