    Here's the problem with the current PV cast: ... So we're short about 25 male protagonists who have left many female supporting characters around.


You don't HAVE to pair everyone off. (That's the obsessive side of you again?) But let's face it - foiled romance twists make for 98% of Parodyverse plots - and are all the better for it too. (I made that statistic up - 75% of stats are made up - including this one).

Another option, of course, could be too cull a few of these female singles. In true Parodvyerse style. Through the introduction of "He-Man-Womanhater". A foe from the Chronicler/Shaper side of the Parodyverse whose duty is to cull excess females from the narrative.

I'm sure Visionary would LOVE this plot.

    This means that when I wanted a "bad boy" to turn up to ruffle Kara's world there was a pretty shallow pool to draw from. In the end it came down to Chronic or Tom Black, and Chronic requires less set-up. But the point is, our current cast gaps are an artefact of our previous cast surpluses and require a bit of managing.


Manage away! Though...maybe she would have preferred a "bad girl"? Too late now, she's been wooed by Steve.

Also, part of me wants to say "Hey there's always Hacker9!" but you know I have an irrational support for that kid.

        She lies! She's from the future and can easily pay with credit due to the tiny micro-chip embedded in her arm. Why she lied is anyone's guess.

    I'm from a nation where most street vendors won't accept cards. I'm going to try and convince the local chip shop that I have an embedded microchip that I've paid them with, however.


Heh. Do it! If they bite I'll have a potato scallop please.

Personally I'm waiting for the time when the micro-chip-in-the-arm includes a hologram computer screen directly connected to the internet. *sigh*

        Or maybe she was hoping he'd ask just that (or maybe she calculated the odds - she knew he would ask that 99% of the time).

    I wrote that story and even now I'm not sure who was playing who.


Me either and that's why it's PERFECT!
