Reply Subj: There's too much content for that to be clickbait. Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 at 03:43:45 pm EST (Viewed 630 times) | |||||||
Quote: Quote: There is always the possibility of chapters.Quote: 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.UT#360 and 361 both clock in between 5,000 and 6,000 words. UT#359 was 36,000 words. I think the first consideration isn't word count, it is when is there a good break point, where readers might actually benefit in their reading epxerience to take a pause and reflect upon the story. Quote: And yes, that's on top of the 60,000 for Traders, and another 15,000 on World Class. Too many stories at once.It can require some hard self-discipline, yes. Quote: Quote: At the moment there is insufficient proof of VV's post-pardon crimes to issue a warrant for her arrest.Quote: That sounds a lot like Keiko's story, except she's never even had contact with the police.Like many felons, VV's rap sheet was cleared for her Parody War service. Quote: 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.Quote: 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.I've always found Vizh open to collaboration and generous with background information when required. Quote: 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.Quote: 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.That's about right. Quote: 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. Quote: 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.Quote: 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.That's probably wise. Quote: Quote: The Hood is a big proponent of Morton's Fork plans where whichever conequence occurs he gets some advantage from it. Quote: Faite is the only one likely to tamper with all of his plans at once, but he'll probably see it coming.And find some use for it. Quote: 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.Quote: Surely he had a plan B.Yes, as we're seeing in UT#361, but there's a reason it was Plan B not Plan A. | |||||||
