Quote: ...Perhaps you may avoid a serious talking-to after all with that conclusion. That's a relief. Although it's saddening to know that people would think I would ever do anything bad to a character in one of my stories. Quote: It was nice to see a new status quo for Laurie and Beth both that seems equitable, and really would be a lot of fun to read if the adventures were to continue. Certainly it would make for a most complex love triangle were Goldeneyed around to explore it... I quite liked the scene of Beth finally reuniting with her father as well.There are a few wrinkled to G-Eyed's romantic life right now. It would be fun to have a scene where he gets dating advice from his team-mates, especially CSFB!, the Shoggoth, Vinnie, Yo, and Flapjack. It's times like this when we really need a complicating story to suddenly arrive in yellow font. Quote: So in your mind, how does the time-share thing work? Do they each fully remember what the other did and experienced? Or is it a bit of a mystery every time they come back? I haven't really thought it through too much, but if I'd been continuing with weekly UTs I would probably have played it along the Banner-Hulk arc, with their personalities very seperate at first, then sharing knowledge and finally even being able to bicker internally. Quote: And is Laurie now no longer Herringcarp's own ghost? Won't the place be jealous and more than a bit peeved that the Lair Mansion gets all the flashy accouterments like ghosts and lighthouses and such, and it didn't even get to keep Amnesia? CZ is still drawing her power from Herringcarp but while she's with Beth she's not dependent on it. Beth is to Laurie what a HED is to Hallie. Quote: The grim flashbacks were super dark, but I survived them all the same. Which is more than I can say about the majority of characters involved in them. I do eventually need to retrieve Wangmundo though... He shares an enemy with someone who will be needing his help one day.He's sitting in a room in Harringcarp just waiting to be de-stoned. Laurie knows he's there and now she's coherent and in possession of her memories she has all the resource of the LL to do something about it. Proceed. Quote: The subplots were all entertaining, although like Al I'm still not clear on the Whispering thing. A set up for the future, I take it?It's the first sign of the Da Visionary Code. It's what happens when the Hooded Hood is retconned for a short while and is unable to maintain his embargo of an event that he's been holding back for around three hundred years. But yes, a sub-plot for a next issue. Quote: The EEE/Baroness standoff at the MPL was fun, and did a nice job of laying out the basis for your Resolution War, I thought. We're certainly seeing one of the sides form up, but there will be others. The Eternal Armies of the Apostate, perhaps? Quote: The little tag at the end was especially fun, with the third Harper being revealed. Al better not try to reunite with him on any railingless bridges. Although now I want Muffy to have an energy crossbow.There may need to be a Harper family reunion at some stage. Quote: The legal showdown was fun too, despite my never having seen the show it referenced. You always do such a good job with the kind of sleazy legal challenges that could be thrown at the team... You just know that if there really was a superhero team this is the kind of crap they would het tossed at them. Quote: In any event, it was a delightful return to the Parodyverse, wrapped up in some solid resolution and nice character insight into the Hooded Hood with the completion of his origin story at last! Thank you so much for sharing it all with the board!You are welcome. A request: I know you described the end-of-war picture of Vizh and Hallie's kiss but did you ever post a version or was I imagining that? If you did one, please repost it. If not, please do one and post it now. | |||||||
