And lots of bondage sex, apparently. But the Caphan story arc has to be one of the longest and most involved ever done at the board, certainly. It's good to see a resolution to it.

I deliberatly arranged it so that our "regular" Earth Caphans aren't around for the newbies first encounters with Earth culture. They'll be back sometime after the end of the Saving the Future arc, once their tent-sisters have had their times of blessing.

I wondered why Vizh was leaving Miiri and the others behind. Naturally they'd want to stay until the heirs to the throne were born, of course. I don't really want to know all that goes into that ceremony, certainly... especially the parts I made up.
> > I quite enjoyed the little snippets of the future that Vespiir glimpsed. I have no doubt that if the PV was to keep going long enough, all of those would somehow show up in future stories. I'm most intrigued by the mysterious person who called her "Violet Eyes"... Definitely a story there.

I look forward to hearing it someday.

That kind of thing tends to happen around here. Actually, this year's stories have seemed to bleed one into the next more than they do on average. I'm not sure if this is a residual affect from the unifying nature of the Parody War or not.
> Closure was what I was really looking for in this rather extended 4-issue epilogue. This was the last remaining major strand left over from the multiple plots of the Parody War and I wanted to see it through properly. Of course, I originally envisaged it would be a single issue.

> You might want to consider putting together a homecoming scene or two as well. We need to establish the Kerry/Magweed/Griffin dynamic, and there should really be some kind of dialogue between bespiir of Viisionary and her new Master - if only to put right certain misconceptions. Maybe slave-mistress Hallie would have a view?

I have a few ideas, and of course now I'm free to get the ball rolling on the Visionary stuff we had discussed last year. I'll keep my fingers crossed that finding the time to write isn't too difficult.
