Personally, I always like chapter breaks... even when they're intentionally manipulative and make sure to end on a point where you desperately want to know what happens next. Still, some writers don't bother with them at all... and it's hard to say what's an appropriate chapter length in the Parodyverse. I used to think 5 pages in word was pushing it in the early years of the board... now I look back and those early chapters seem much too slight.

It probably doesn't help that I've largely abandoned Word altogether after being told I was supposed to buy a new copy 2 years after last purchasing it, because I needed to replace my computer. Combined with the huge headaches of using it for work documents (where people always wanted artwork included along with game documentation, and Word is a ***** to wrangle text and photos together) I just up and dropped it. Started using Google's online word processor for my PV writing... which is nice, since it's all stored online and accessible from any computer that way.

With my recent purchase of an Ipad, I got apple's word processor, which would have made the documents I had to put together for work so easy to do that I really wanted to strangle Bill Gates. I've used a lot of document layout programs to combine text and photos, and I've never come across one that was easier and gave such good results. Now if only the damn thing was more comfortable to type on...




I suppose it would depend on who was doing the hugging. Tandi is a big hugger, as I recall... I could get behind that. Icy probably liked the idea of hugs, but the reality was likely less pleasant with him.





What are you going to do to that poor girl now? In truth, however, I have trouble seeing her as Laurie now. Even she seems to feel a major disconnect to her past. I think that's probably a blessing for her, though, so I have my doubts it will last.

I'm still curious to know what happened to Wangmundo. Not anxious for an answer... just curious.





I think Dream has it in him to be a pain-in-the-ass antagonist, but I'm not sure he can be pushed all the way to flat out villainy (if that's who the Hood is referencing.) At least not a sustainable villain... although if he loses enough of his family, I suppose I could see him going out in one tragic, chaotic act.





I figured that you didn't get permission to create him just for that cameo. I'm looking forward to finding out what side of the law he ends up fighting on. He seems nice enough, but also antagonizing...





Would this be related to the Jarvis-Cosmic? I wielded that once... So I speak from personal experience when I say that it's probably not a good idea to go messing around with that stuff.





We would have traded for Ontario, but they just wouldn't take it. And pro-wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura isn't even governor of the state any longer.





No doubt, but you could probably say that about any number of recent sections you've posted.

I'm looking forward to seeing the final line up... I know a good number of them, and have an idea about many others thanks to the images I drew for you, but I'm not really convinced that I could predict the line-up with 100% accuracy at this point. Plus, with poster participation constantly in flux, I'm not sure what last minute changes might occur.

I'm ultimately curious to see how big the line-up is, and what kind of power levels it has.





Well, if there's brain eating involved, then I do hope that it isn't Jay's alternate knight son Sir John de Jaboz. Rasputatious would probably enjoy the brain eating--nothing new for him there-- but I somehow don't think that's the direction you're going. Grace O' Mercy would be an interesting way to go, but I don't think that's in store for her...

Yeah, I have no idea.

As for who should take Amber's job if she won't come back: I say Beth Shellet worked on the current president's campaign from early on, and is rewarded with a job with the administration...

Of course, I suspect you might already have different plans for Beth's return someday.
