HH just likes typing boggling

Subj: Re: Boggled readers are often (but not always) a plus. It depends upon the brand of boggling.

    I remain boggled by your ability to manipulate such a massive cast and consistently develop comic-believable, multiple-level plots. Kudos.


I remain appalled at my tendency to drop myself into those kinds of plots. It's a sickness.

    Thanks also for remembering the Latin prototype for the Carnifex. I was hoping for a cameo by Gnaeus Pompeius Sr. or a woodpecker, but either was hardly necessary.


I was reluctant to get too much into a lecture but I felt it was time to tip the (bloody) hat to the source of the concept.

    At some point I need to get Beth back out and trying to conquer the world again. I had an idea to wrap up my mind transfer plot and may try next weekend; tomorrow we're having the families of the car pool for my son's school over for lunch for 25 and I've no time this weekend.


I think after that you'll want to bring doom and destruction to the planet.

My son is having friends over for a birthday sleepover and my ex-wife Sal thinks she's won the argument because she's having them over at her house!

    As for the LL roster, I'd suggest:


Noted. I'm sure we can deliver some of those.


After the Doomherald, the Parody War, the Moderator saga and the Carnifex epic, I think the Parodyverse needs a long interlude. Perhaps it (and the new team) could just be faced with a Byzantine HH plot that doesn't wreck the world or slaughter the team. After all, if you don't arrange for some down time, your readers will be expecting an even bigger conflagration, and it gives some opportunity for characterization.
