Previous Post My response should of course be "Untold Tales #335: Dinner and a Show", and in response to Vizh's excellent artwork I have just squeezed out another 3500 words of it. Unfortunately it's proving to be the most difficult thing I've had to write for quite a while and it's not short. I'm going to take a break now before tackling Lara and Co's exploits in the next scene. Vizh isn't wrong in his estimation that all of the characters in his banner could be in the next chapter. Most of them already are. And I'm taking requests. It's also clear that UT#335 and probably #336 will be roster-changing stories. Given that we're down to so few active posters now and we're no longer competing to get poster-characters on the LL (how well I remember the bitter poster correspondence of Jarvis' roster decisions - and even some problems with Finny's line-up choice) I think we may need to reconsider the rule I've always maintained about the line-up. Previously I've maintained that each poster gets only one character ever in the Legion, with the exception that if that character permanently dies or departs then another can join. This makes good sense when there's a lot of posters about and it helps to keep the team numbers down to something that's writeable. However, at the moment I'm struggling to field an interesting varied roster using that method. Of course it's not just up to me anyhow; but at the moment I'm the only person really writing the Lair Legion regularly and I'd really like a roster I'm comfortable with to encourage me. So, without any guarantees that I'll actually use this, I'd like folks to comment on the following possible candidates for Legionnaires (grouped by poster) Visionary Hallie Fleabot Hatman Rabid Wolf Gamma Ray Gary CrazySugarFreakBoy! Pelopia Glitch Mr Epitome Glory Alcheman Silver Aegis Al B. Harper Cho Cho Futago (Butterfly Twins) Night Nurse Yuki Shiro Lara Night Liu Xi Xian Anna The Manga Shoggoth Dancer Kerry Shepherdson Danny Lyle The Librarian Ham-Boy Semi-Transparent Lad spiffy ManMan & Knifey dull thud & Cressida Icy Sir Mumphrey Wilton Fashion Accessory Vinnie De Soth Tom Black Donar Harlagaz Yo Nats Messenger Baroness Zemo Silicone Sally Lisa Waltz Champagne The inconvievable Yurt Anvil Man And of course write-in votes are most welcome. Apologies to anybody whose characters I've omitted.

I think if a poster wants more than one of their creations in the Legion at this point, s/he should be allowed to do that, with the caveat that its understood they don't have to appear in everyone's stories about the team. This should be true for all characters, really. For example, if I wanted Kambyon the Kruel to be a member of the Lair Legion, but you despised the idea, you shouldn't be forced to include him in anything you write.

That said, I think the Lair Legion's line up should be whatever you want it to be. You're the one writing the stories about them, and should be allowed to select who you want to write about.


In conclusion, to keep from looking like I'm completely passing the buck, here's a LL line up I'd most like to see:

Hatty
CSFB!
Vizh
Hallie
Yuki
Al B
Dancer
Shoggoth
Samantha Featherstone (with the Chronometer of Infinity)
Donar
Sorceress
De Brown Streak
Trickshot
spiffy
Silicone Sally
