Subj: I'm afraid Sherlock Holmes is calling and requires some chronicling

    Mumph and Baroness were perfectly suited and their dialogue was fun. I'm also partial to Al B. invoking all the Shoggoth, as you'd expect.


I think I'll leave it to JJJ to determine what kind of follow up Mumph and the Baroness' recent experience requires.

As for Al B., if ever I get back to Untold Tales again he has a fairly interesting role to play in uncovering the Da Visionary Code. So does Kinki.

    I suppose [the chain Knight] is well suited to the Vinnie mythos, though I personally think he'd make a darn good Mumph adversary.


Why not both?

By the way, this weekend I prepared a manuscript of "The Trandsimensional Transport Company" to send off at the request of a mainstream publisher. Old school stuff, printed out double spaced and everything. I've never been asked for a paper manuscript before. It runs to 400 A4 sides. But don't hold your breath re a book deal, since it all seems highly speculative to me.

    I'd be interested in who you think are your most horrific villains? god of Revenge spoilers aside.
    The Carnifex? Or Madame Symmetry maybe? The Parody Master was pretty gruesome when written by you as well. Or possibly that bone fella from your Avengers story back in the day (Avengers Underground - did you ever finish that? The links aren't working). No doubt I'm forgetting someone.


I'm also a big fan of Balsemeo Andracotti, the Eyeless Artist who sculpts in flesh from an unpublished novel of mine called "The Monster Hunter's Challenge". I always meant to borrow him for the Parodyverse and never got round to it. I think the PV fellow with the pain-experience needles probably came from the same series.

As for the unfinished and unlikely to be finished Avengers Underground, try these links:

Avengers: Underground #1: The Garden of Bones

Avengers: Underground #2: The Past That Kills

Avengers: Underground #3: Puppets of Meat

Avengers: Underground #4: Dead Men Plotting

Avengers: Underground #5: Fashions of Hatred

Avengers: Underground #6: Balance of Power

Avengers: Underground #7: The Lady of the Lake

Avengers: Underground #8: Buried Lies

Avengers: Underground #9: Dangerous Information

Avengers: Underground #10: Whatever Happened to Golden Girl?

    I intend to go back and re-read the Transworld Challenge at some stage, because I missed a bit of it first time round due to work travel.


That story is on my list to rewrite one day as a TTC story, guest-starring Mumph, Vinnie, and whoever else I've introduced that that world by then. But since it would neccessarily expose TTC to world scrutiny, "outing" them for good, it's probably a fair way off yet.

      That would probably toss us right into the multi part Da Visionary Code storyline.



    Quote:
    You know you'll have to write that now that you've given it a title.


I gave it a title 15 years back and it hasn't made me write it.

Jolly good. Proceed.
