Quote: Remember, I said if she *died*, she would dissipate into energy and be sent back home. There are plenty of things that aren't dead, like being held in limbo or trapped.Quote: Kind of a nasty and dark sub-topic to that is if she does become trapped or in limbo, and she can't get out, she does have the option of killing herself to get home. But she's never thought about trying that.Interesting idea, though. Quote: Quote: It is something of an art form, because it also means re-introducing charactacters and background information each time without seeming to so that it doesn't read as repetitious for a collected edition.Quote: I'm actually reasonably good at doing that.It just means that you have to know the publishing format in advance so you know when to do the exposition reset. Quote: Quote: I'm digging fairly deep for some minutiae here - for example there's a plot point to pay off from my 9th ever Parodyverse story - but playing fair means including all really relevant information in the current narrative. The rest is just trimmings.Quote: I just thought of that because I only have glimpses of who the Apostate is and what he can do. I figured there are others with way more experience with that who might have been able to figure out the rest of the plot from his history.The Apostate's most important appearances predate my time on the board also. Quote: Quote: And this story isn't primarily a whodunnit anyhow. It's about what makes the Parodyverse the Parodyverse.Quote: Nothing wrong with that.UT#358 was all about last meetings and deaths. #359 is all about secrets revealed. | |||||||
