An enjoyable tale!
A slight change to be made: You misspelled Holcomb's name in the scene in the President's office. Question from that scene: is the Void Spectre related to the Void Scholar?

I don't think Ronnie would be the polite. I had him calling him "Dan D." over in my story & I think that would be more in keeping with his personality.

No one was shooting a Little Cat?

I don't think they'd call her Dancer given Ronnie perchance for nicknaming most everyone they meet. He might call her "Dancing Queen" or maybe even "Sarah".
And what's this about a Harmonica?
> “It makes perfect sense,†countered Champagne. “Mr Beesleyhuxtoy, Mr Swiss, how many people on Earth do you think have been replaced by Space Fandoms?â€Â
|
When did she meet them, was this in Limbo or have a missing a C&R appearance somewhere?

> “Anything animal bigger than a gnat, Chad thinks,†reported Ronnie. In the background Drury swore.

So, are you saying Little Cat is a Spaced Fandom?

This should be interesting.
As for Tie-In's: I noticed you hadn't added "Chad & Ronnie vs. The World" to the listing. Also, I have the last part of the Catherine the MPL story that will tie into this & that should be up as soon as I write it & feel it's post worthy.
