Subj: The assistant justiciar seemed to enjoy his visit, anyway. But he had the better view.

Reply Subj: I enjoy revisiting the characters, certainly. (Stealth Story in the post above!)

    I can't imagine what the connection could be with Helen and that Sion Aivry guy, but here's hoping those two kids make good.


Their only change of surviving the Inquisition would be to gather together some kind of regular league of friends with similar problems. And then to locate a lair for themselves.

    Quite the dark set-up for things, but with a fitting amount of light coming through as well. I liked the bit where she talked about making her constructs and how he responded. It was a rather charming encounter, as long as one looked past the setting and implications and whatnot. Maybe not a modern "meet cute", but a reasonable Dark Ages version.


We established as far back as Untold Tales #8 that ripples from events in the modern day had sent "echo" versions of PV characters through time. Here are examples.

If I ever get to the much-touted Da Visionary Code storyline, the plan is to drop certain PV characters into the actual lives and bodies of similar historical people. Hence the set-up story.

I never got far enough to cover the fact that Aivry's master is travelling to arrest the heretical Halronimus the Harper for his insane theories about the Parodyverse revoloving round a bunch of costumed heroes.

    I really do hope to read the full story someday!


I really do hope to write it someday. Who knows?

But even as I'm replying to this, I'm procrastinating from the major edits required to "The Feast of the Goblins" for The New Adventuires of Richard Knight volume 3.

    As I do read a fair amount of equine fiction, I have to say it really isn't hard to do... the good ones read like Parodyverse stories (especially Parodyverse stories starring Pegasus, I suppose.) But then, you know that I've never been overly worried about the accident of a character's condition... I don't care if they're unicorns, or robotic fleas, or holograms, or completely unremarkable and entirely real people. None of that affects whether I connect with them or not.


There's a lot to say about readers' ability to suspend belief regarding many absurdist apsects of a story, including anthropomorphic animal protagonists, magic, and super-powers, providing the core interactions feel right tous. We've been doing it at least as far back as the Olympian gods.
