Reply Subj: I'm sure that any attempt couldn't actually qualify as "dancing".

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:

Really. How did Ioldabaoth get out of that pit again?

That was all for the best, really, wasn't it? I mean, he escaped and everything, to go bring joy to the Parodyverse.

Quote:

Soliciting dating advice from the Shoggoth? Brave man indeed. it would indeed be a fun follow-up though, especially with Dancer's brand of chaos setting things in motion.

But would then require a multi-part crossover to untangle again. How quickly we forget the Vizh-is-sleeping-with-Lisa incident.

Quote:

I wonder who Beth/Laurie would turn to on the team? Would they each turn to different people?

Interesting question, possibly best answered in-story sometime.

Quote:

It would be a fun set-up to explore... and then later to subvert as well, with Beth unexpectedly coming to during the action, or Laurie coming out in awkward social situations.

And there you have the nub of the fun.

Quote:

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:

Aha... terms I can understand, which would confuse general audiences mightily.

Worrying, isn't it?

Quote:

[Wangmundo is] 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:

One does not just retrieve large stone trolls from the depths of Herringcarp... Perhaps someday, however. Or I'll just wimp out and do that time skip and put him where I need him ultimately.

A nice letter from Laurie to the Hood might do it. Especially if it came with a gift basket.

Quote:

But yes, a sub-plot for a next issue.

Quote:

I'll put in my pre-order now!

No delivery date is guaranteed.

Quote:

You just know that if there really was a superhero team this is the kind of [legal] crap they would get tossed at them.

Quote:

Oh, indeed. I liked that they used just that idea for "The Incredibles", in fact... but even then it wasn't done in such a ruthlessly vile manner. I'd say "beware an evil lawyer" but it seems redundant. And yes, I miss being able to make that comment to Lisa.

The LL have been doing this stuff for a while now, so I'm guessing they've evolved legal defences as elaborate as all their other precations. And like all their other precautions they work well until the plot requires otherwise.

Quote:

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.

Quote:

Did I do such a thing? I confess, I have searched two portable hard drives and have failed utterly to turn up any stories at all. I'm getting concerned that I may have lost all of my PV work that isn't accessable online somewhere.

The story was Let's Get Things Started, a follow-up to Untold Tales #321, September 2002.One of your best.

Quote:

In any event, I don't think I ever drew an actual image... Perhaps Dancer made one? In describing it, did I just rip-off the classic Nurse/Sailor kiss celebrating the end of WWII? I could draw that, I suppose. Posting attachments still seems to be a problem, but I could probably figure out something.

Given that it described an iconic moment in both PV history and Vizh and Hallie's stories it behooves you to memorialise it in art. And when I say behooves I in no way imply that you should ponify the characters.

If you wish to send artwork to me I shall put it up on my archive site and you can link to the image from there.

By the way, you used to have website pages that looked like this:

Vizh's Story page
Vizh's Art Page

I think but cannot guarantee that all the stories and most of the art is lurking somewhere on my site. It occures that with a little bit of index-link changing your pages could well work again. Let me know if you wish to do something.
