Quote: Quote: And next issue we shall, with Vizh vs the Hooded Hood.Quote: That always ends well. Ah well... At least Vizh had a good run.Well, in my original c2005 plans, after the New Pantheon came a brief Juniors at College interlude issue and then The Da Visionary Code, which famoulsy features the passing of Visionatus Improbablus. So there's that. Quote: Quote: Yes, I meant sickness, but it could have been a Freudian slip.Quote: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar though. Especially when the two keys are right next to each other on the keyboard. I'm used to auto-correct playing havoc with much of what I type these days. My tablet has taken to stubbornly replacing perfectly good words on the assumption that I really want to type something else. I do find PV writing addective, and not conducive to me writing other kinds of stories at the same time. Quote: Quote: I still take the PV characters way too seriously.Quote: That's the stuff I come here for, honestly. Although I recognize that without some plot to drive the whole thing forward, there's far less for the characters to sit around and discuss. Regardless, I feel the real benefit of works like we see in the PV is that we can take the time to expand on these in-betweeen moments and really let the characters deal with things, rather than wrap it all up and save the fallout for the huge sequel event.One of my concerns writing "three brief chapters" of Untold Tales was that it would squeeze out the character bits to cover the plot. I should have had more realistic expectations. Quote: Quote: Mags and Griff's schooldays would be excellent, especially when Kerry turns up at home time to pick them up.Quote: I stumbled across that St. Patrick's Day story from a few years ago, featuring the Juniors and others in a college bar that I started and a few others contributed to... It was a fun dynamic there too. Repost that. repost all the bits. Most urgently, though, please repost a tie-in to the Quest for Naari called "Sir Mix-a-Lot". I don't have a copy of it in my archive (presumably because it appeared in a reply thread) and the original link to the PVB back pages is now dead. An important part of the story is therefore inaccessible. Quote: But yes, I know at one point I had planned for Maggie and Griff to attend a school adjacent to that other town the Lighthouse hangs out in (the name escapes me right now), and their presence would draw out some more magically inclined trouble while dealing with the usual High School hassles and allow Maggie to show the social interactions that would see her come into her own as a leader fit to become a Fairy Queene someday. In the years since, I've pretty much seen that story told, so the impulse to do it myself is quite lessened.Where was it told? Quote: I may have to write some story about them though... or at the very least, finish that Great North Star thing. I found my notes on it. Don't quite understand them all any longer though.Any new material would be good. Material that concludes previous stories would be great. The North Star narrative, which was defining Mags and Griff in current status quo, would be excellent. Quote: Quote: By the way, my view is that mice and bluebirds only sing around Magweed when Yo expects it.Quote: It says something about Vizh's life that neither he nor I even question that kind of thing any longer.You are truly blessed. Quote: Quote: Could you remind me of the state of play of Vizh and Hallie's current romantic relationship?Quote: I'm sure I could use a reminder myself. As of the last I can recall, they are officially dating and I'm assuming exclusive. It's a rather chaste relationship, as Hallie can't really be touched... Her force-fields have a numbing affect with prolonged contact and probably aren't particularly healthy, so not a lot of cuddling time is had. I don't think they get a lot of privacy anyway.So there's another story, right there, including advice and helpful intervention form a wider cast. I look forward to "The Quest for Hallie's Pants", coming soon. Best before the Da Visionary Code, eh? Quote: Quote: I started revising what is now the final part of a three-chapter consequences story, and was surprised how dark parts were getting. Quote: It should be an interesting experience... You have to make me feel yet worse for poor Lisette, huh? Of course, if being mean to her somehow did summon Dancer back, I suppose I wouldn't complain. There are always worse things to do to Lisette. And any lurkers that might wish to de-lurk are welcome. Very few people have ever objected to more yellow font on the board. | |||||||
