My response should of course be "Untold Tales #335: Dinner and a Show", and in response to Vizh's excellent artwork I have just squeezed out another 3500 words of it. Unfortunately it's proving to be the most difficult thing I've had to write for quite a while and it's not short. I'm going to take a break now before tackling Lara and Co's exploits in the next scene.
Vizh isn't wrong in his estimation that all of the characters in his banner could be in the next chapter. Most of them already are. And I'm taking requests.
It's also clear that UT#335 and probably #336 will be roster-changing stories. Given that we're down to so few active posters now and we're no longer competing to get poster-characters on the LL (how well I remember the bitter poster correspondence of Jarvis' roster decisions - and even some problems with Finny's line-up choice) I think we may need to reconsider the rule I've always maintained about the line-up.
Previously I've maintained that each poster gets only one character ever in the Legion, with the exception that if that character permanently dies or departs then another can join. This makes good sense when there's a lot of posters about and it helps to keep the team numbers down to something that's writeable. However, at the moment I'm struggling to field an interesting varied roster using that method.
Of course it's not just up to me anyhow; but at the moment I'm the only person really writing the Lair Legion regularly and I'd really like a roster I'm comfortable with to encourage me.
So, without any guarantees that I'll actually use this, I'd like folks to comment on the following possible candidates for Legionnaires (grouped by poster)
Visionary
Hallie
Fleabot
Hatman
Rabid Wolf
Gamma Ray Gary
CrazySugarFreakBoy!
Pelopia
Glitch
Mr Epitome
Glory
Alcheman
Silver Aegis
Al B. Harper
Cho Cho Futago (Butterfly Twins)
Night Nurse
Yuki Shiro
Lara Night
Liu Xi Xian
Anna
The Manga Shoggoth
Dancer
Kerry Shepherdson
Danny Lyle
The Librarian
Ham-Boy
Semi-Transparent Lad
spiffy
ManMan & Knifey
dull thud & Cressida
Icy
Sir Mumphrey Wilton
Fashion Accessory
Vinnie De Soth
Tom Black
Donar
Harlagaz
Yo
Nats
Messenger
Baroness Zemo
Silicone Sally
Lisa Waltz
Champagne
The inconvievable Yurt
Anvil Man
And of course write-in votes are most welcome. Apologies to anybody whose characters I've omitted.
