You really need to get these stories out there, you know.







VV is happy. The people she's commiting crimes against are not.




The conversation I've been having with Al. B might be relevant. I'd got it into my head that Bambi Bacall, the matter-transmuting Suicide Blonde (and G-Eyed's cousin, and now revealed to be Al B's time-travelled grandchild), was dead. Rhiannon talls me I may well be misaken. If Suicide Blonde is still out there then she was the Purveyor that had the friendliest association with VV. But certainly Bambi has been assumed dead. When time alows I must do some further research.







And more story required.




VV isn't above being malicious to employers she takes a dislike to but her professional reputation is very important to her.

Interestingly, since the most recent UT implies that she delivered some warning to Screwdriver from the Hood re. the whole bombing-Parody-Island thing, that might lead to repercussions. Screwdriver is the middle-man arranging contracts for for-hire villains. If he's now down on VV then it could lead to "career difficulties".




That's a reasonable backstory rationale.

One of the problems of writing in a shared continuioty like the Parodyverse with "poster characters" is what happens when those posters' lives move on. I've had to curtail a few plotlines due to poster absences, many of a relationship nature.

For example, when poster-Whitney got married it seemed weird to go on writing Sorceress' torrid affair with Hatman. I don't know if Mr Whitney ever looked at or might look at the Parodyverse board, but long stories of his partner's online avatar having big romantic arcs with another poster-character can't enhance a marriage. I curtailed the Hatman - Rabid Wolf romance for similar reasons when poster-Jay got hitched.

A few other posters have given me "limits" instructions for their characters. For example, Shep once told me she wasn't bothered how many romances Dancer got into as long as there wasn't ever anything permanent. Champagne was fine with her character appearing but no romantic plotline; since I suspect the poster was at that time underaged I was happy to comply.

So nowadays I mostly shy away from pairing off poster-chaacters. It should be the poster's job anyhow. Where I want to do romance plotlines I tend to use either characters I've made up or those "secondary" creations of other posters whom I know I have carte blance with - Danny and Kerry, for example.

I sympathise with you and other posters who must now struggle in the somewhat sparser poster environment to tell compelling stories that follow narrative logic in good taste with regard to avatar characters.

It is possible that I way overthink this stuff.







The Hood is quite content for there to be a link between Lara and VV. He might characterise it as "intriguing" and "useful".




There are some issues there but I think JJJ will have to address them. I presume he has plot plans about it.
