Subj: There's too much content for that to be clickbait. Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 at 03:43:45 pm EST (Viewed 627 times) | Reply Subj: And in here (click and see). Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 at 03:10:21 pm EST (Viewed 1 times) | ||||||
Quote: There is always the possibility of chapters.It's in chapters, but they're each very long. As in 15,000 words in 2 chapters, just starting into the 3rd. I might need to break it up more. And yes, that's on top of the 60,000 for Traders, and another 15,000 on World Class. Too many stories at once. Quote: At the moment there is insufficient proof of VV's post-pardon crimes to issue a warrant for her arrest.That sounds a lot like Keiko's story, except she's never even had contact with the police. Quote: Well, as proof that these discussions do shape the stories, I'll be touching on that a tiny bit in the next Untold Tales.Noted? Quote: Is that a problem? Even if it is, there's always the possibility of a framing sequence. Or maybe a psionic enemy attacks Chiaki and they end up in a running battle throuygh her memories.Chiaki needs a unique rogues gallery anyhow.I thought about writing about her past before, but I've been halted because of the uncertainty of dealing with Akiko Masamune and screwing up stuff related to that. Quote: Screwdriver isn't exactly disrespectful except in the sense that he does look on most people as the hired help. It's the CEO mentality. He's the middle-man who doles out the work, upon whom both employers and employees have to rely.The way Chiaki sees it, the people he hires are taking all the risk, alone, and he treats them as if they're replaceable parts. Quote: And, having been in the game for a long time, he's learned to take the usual boss-level precautions against henchmen and superheroes with a variety of power-sets. I doubt he'd have, say, Luthor-level defences against superheroes, but certainly the next tier down. He has access to a lot of weird science, occult stuff, super-muscle, etc. Chiaki might be able to get to him, but it would be a war.She's much more subtle than that. Remember how she showed up to speak to the Lynchpin, and he was annoyed to find out that she conned his receptionist into scheduling her an appointment. The same thing happened with the mayor of GMY. In short, if she does visit him, he'll fully be expecting it, and he'll have to expect that she'll take lots of precautions. But she won't be fighting him on his own terms. Quote: It's well reasoned. Maybe another brief "flashback" might embed it in written continuity?Maybe... Quote: The Hood is a big proponent of Morton's Fork plans where whichever conequence occurs he gets some advantage from it. It's effectively "If I pull A off, then I get what I want. If the heroes stop me from that, it instead achieves B that will set me up to later pull off C." It's why the Hood is mostly sanguine about his plans being disrupted; they're actually not.Faite is the only one likely to tamper with all of his plans at once, but he'll probably see it coming. Quote: But occasionally something does go wrong that really annoys him. The recent event with Liu Xi and ManMan in the Celestian Control Plane is a fine example. That screwed up quite a lot of careful preparation and, from the Hood's perspective, his best chance at saving the Parodyverse.Surely he had a plan B. Quote: It's a fair concern. I feel a bit guilty because no sooner has JJJ introduced a new character than I've locked her in a massive continuity event. That's one hell of a first week on the job!It happens sometimes. | |||||||
