Quote: It's not always the major things that cause the problems. If a poster perceives that their character is not being represented well it can sometimes spoil their pleasure at playing in the Parodyverse. For example, long ago now one poster was offended, lost all interest in the PVB and never came back after their poster character was written as having sex with another poster character. Neither of the writers are around here now.
I try to be careful as I can, but I've run into a few surprises. Like I'll write an entire story that takes place in the Lair Mansion with peripheral characters, and someone will be offended because Hatman didn't step in out of nowhere and take control.
And I don't mention Liu Xi's two killings much in stories anymore, because it seemed like every time I did someone would bring up all over again that Hatman would never be friends with her, and instead would be obsessed with bringing her to justice somehow.
There are also, even still, a couple of characters that I explored the margins of at one time, but found those margins to be so narrow that I just don't use them anymore for fear of upsetting the original writer. Not because it's the original creator's fault, but because I just don't have the confidence that I can stick to those narrow criteria.

Noted.

Quote: I had a pretty bad week, that's why I'm a bit behind on The Spirit of De Soth.
Quote: I see it's up there but I haven't had the peace and quiet to read it yet. This single parent thing really cuts into your reading time.
I realized yesterday that I'm going to have to rapidly conclude the Spirit of De Soth because I'm going out of town next week. Otherwise the story will be left hanging for 2 weeks, and people won't remember the previous post anymore.
