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

Quote:

Well, isn't one of them your editor? Can't be all that apathetic.

Rhiannon is the exception, but right now she's more into Ovid. I think she might be seeing him on the sly.

Quote:

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

Quote:

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

Quote:

Now that you point it out, I agree.

Be afraid.

Quote:

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'd be good with anyone returning and saying that!

I mention those two because they each have very easy-to-write definable personalities, unique speech patterns, and powersets that allow all kinds of interesting applications. Both bring things to the team dynamic that aren're replicated by any other members.

I've enhoyed writing a few different line-ups of the LL, but the one that I think was best from an author's point of view was the team during the first half of the Parody War up to about #300.

Quote:

Well, [Herringcarp] was on the east coast of England about three centuries ago.

Quote:

Jacobite stronghold?

We've never really dug into it's history. Digging there might disturb something.

Quote:

Sounds like what you'd find in Sir Mumphrey's home.

His undoubtedly has less dust and cat hairs.

Quote:

I'd even be happy with just the green glowing eyes.

I believe there are now contact lenses available that accomplish that.
