Quote: I'm curious if Anna would be affected at all. The one factor (besides physical construction) that differs her from humans a lot is that she chooses her memories to keep. At the same time, though, it may be that Hallie only has a memory advantage because she stores hers elsewhere, away from the Drop Bears' influence, and Anna's memories are just as prone to corruption.I'd say you could play it either way and it's still interesting - she's immune because she's sophisticated or she's not immune because she's so human. Quote: Quote: One reason I encourage posters to develop their own supporting ensembles and their own situations is that it allows them more creative freedom than having to continually reset things to status quo ante.Quote: I did that. Unfortunately when I use my own cast, readership drops to near zero. It's probably my own fault for placing them in unexplored corners of the Parodyverse where they don't usually affect the Lair Legion unless they come in direct contact with them.I think you overestimate the pull of the LL core. After all, I'd say the thing you;ve written which has drwn the most positive comment of late is the Shen Rae/cosmic stuff, which doesn't touch on much of the "core" PV at all. I've found that readers here seem to enjoy seeing new bits of the PV mapped as much as they enjoy revisitng the familiar ones. In my time at the PVB I've introduced plenty of planets and hidden cities and Paradopolis neighbourhoods that have since become familiar places. Maybe you should work on the next set? Quote: Makes sense to do paying work first. I'd say you're both lucky and brave at this point - because new professional writers sometimes are either slapped with, or afraid of being slapped with, contractual gag orders that prevent them from associating with any non-pro writers. So you're lucky you still can visit and read.  They'd have to give me a good deal more money than they have before they get a say in the rest of my life. [ Quote: Hatman isn't the only one in danger of that - we also have Dancer (who nearly permanently moved away in-story already once) and Kerry as well. And, of course, and character too similar in name to ones owned by Marvel or D.C.I'm still hoping Shep will surface. At some point when I've more time I'll check on Jay too. | |||||||
