At least he gets a snazzy tomb out of the deal!




I'll see what I can do on both counts. I'm pretty sure I read the St. Patty's thing on your website, and it's certainly the only place where I'd find the other contributions to it.

I most likely have that Hallie-as-a-centaur story somewhere... I'll try and dig it out. I've changed computers a couple of times in recent years (and am already looking at a new one now), and not everything is nice and organized any longer.




I know that the original idea was mostly inspired by the likes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", only instead of the Hellmouth there would be some inherent creepiness in the town and school itself and then active interference by faeries sent by Camellia. (Faeries would do well in a shallow High School environment.)

In the years since, the more specific elements of the plotline were used by Hasbro in setting up their human spin-off of Pony called "Equestria Girls". They sent their formerly-antisocial-librarian-unicorn-just-turned-princess to an alternate reality where everyone was an oddly-colored human in high school.

So it had the not-totally-human princess from a magical land not fitting into the school, yet eventually uniting the fractured student body through friendship and good deeds (and defeating of monsters drawn by the influx of magic she represented), thus reassuring her that maybe she's cut out to be a leader after all. Now, I'm not sure that it told that story particularly well, what with having to devote a fair amount of limited runtime to the whole "used to be a unicorn from an alternate world" thing. (Sadly, she didn't have a "Last Unicorn" style breakdown about being able to feel her now-mortal body slowly dying around her... Sure, that's maybe a bit dark for High School hijinks, but still a missed opportunity, I'd say.)

Regardless, they hit many of the same broad strokes... even had a brother-figure to help look out for her. If I had already started down that path it wouldn't be enough to push me away from it, but as it stands it's just enough to sap my need to tell my version.





I found one extra chapter of the North Star story beyond what you had, which I feel like I must have posted at some point, as it was written up to a suitably dramatic break (as Dancer enters my part of the story). From there it was just a matter of resolving it all. I think the exposition required was daunting, and so I kept putting it off in the hopes that some way of making it entertaining would come to me. Regardless, I'm not entirely sure how I meant to resolve it... I have some cryptic notes which makes me think I had some clever ending, but if so it has fully escaped me.

If I actually get the free time to tackle anything, I'll give the whole thing another read-through and see if I can't recapture the mindset for it.

I'm not sure what their current status quo should really be though, or what the timeline is. The last thing I wrote was a future story about Griff as an adult SPUD agent, I think.




I'm not entirely sure that it's something to resolve, long term... but yes, there is certainly the possibility for some story material there. We'll see where things lead.




I keep hoping that, like Beetlejuice, if you say her name enough times, she'll appear...
