          Shaman going down that pit is like those scenes in scary movies where someone goes down to the basement! I'm not as brave as Mr. Twoyoungmen; ngahh, ngahh more monsters... in the dark yet... :^)

          There can be a danger of treating magic as if it’s the ultimate Get Out of Jail Free card. No rules, no limits. Of course, that way lies madness—and I suspect boredom!

 |  So I try to keep magical powers tied to the intrinsic falliblities of the users.

          JB, I appreciate the way you are able to write every character in character.

          One aspect I'm really enjoying about the daily serial format: the end-of-page cliffhangers are so much more effective when one has to wait a day or more (rather than mere seconds or minutes) to find out what happens next.

 |  ••• As I guess you all realize, the structure of ELSEWHEN allows for some pretty ruthless moves, such as killing characters, even guest stars. The kind of thing that would not be so likely in a “real” series.

          Well, whether he's really gone or pulls a last-minute move... I've been glad to see Shaman (and Guardian and Heather) back in action!

 I needed it, because I'm thoroughly worried about Dr. Twoyoungmen now! |
