    Sorry for such a slow reply; have been doing the rounds of rellies up north. Not the Far North, just the ordinary kind.


Noted.

    These villainesses can be so catty. I mean, what's a guy got to do to earn a little respect? Just because he's overlooked one tiny but very important detail and is due for an almighty beating by every hero in town. Sheesh.


Vicki Vee expects the best. It says so right there on her website.

    Brilliant.


It made sense when I wrote it late one night just before Christmas.

    Quote:
    Really liked the development of Sniiqattaaq, particularly his earthy perspective on problem-solving. Not so much hands-on as in-up-to-the-elbows. It's totally in keeping with his office, and who likes to see a good reindeer go to waste?


I had great fun writing him, as it turned out.

      “Who can shift time and stop it being today!” Vizh realised. “Yeah, that’s who we need. Dream, try and locate Sir Mumphrey Wilton!”



    Quote:
    A side-note, in relation to Mumph's time-shifting: I've often thought there would be story mileage in visiting points in time that officially didn't exist - like those days “missing” in the move to Gregorian calendar. Was reminded of this just before New Year when Samoa cancelled Friday. Though this being the Parodyverse, it's probably been done...


I wrote something once about the missing Gregorian days, but I don't think it was for the Parodyverse. The Samoan thing is ripe for a PV story soon though. proceed.

    Eagerly anticipating the next chapter.


Eagerly procrastinating on writing it.
