I have currently run into a bit of a roadblock with the final Diary of a Mountie entry. I will resume work on it when I have had it clarified by the lovely and talented batyatoon and cadhla. No sense at all in getting black flagged on the last lap, you know?

I have to say, I've gotten awfully fond of Sergeant Preston. I'm looking forward to gaming again with cadhla and the gang next week, but more than that I've gotten very fond of writing for the man. Right now he's a fish so far out of water that the Atacama Desert would be a step in the right direction, but he seems the type to land on his feet, and I think it'd be interesting to see him in other situations. The problem is that I did not create this plot, nor did I create 75% of the dialogue. I have done my faithful best to render what I remember from the game session, and with batyatoon's help I think I have come pretty close. I've constructed dialogue in a few places to fill in blanks that were covered during game-time by 'okay, so you're all going where?' or similar statements. Two scenes were constructed out of whole cloth instead of being from the game proper- the church visit, and the walk in the park with Dorothy. I can't even claim the park scene, really, since that was dialogue worked out after the fact with batyatoon. We had to figure out what our characters were doing while all the players watched stakebait work her Wimsey mojo. . .

Thing is, I'm really, really hoping that this coming week's game session happens, and that it's a good one. If it works out I plan to do more Diary entries based on that. Eventually, though, that set of Diary entries will end as well, and then I will be back where I was at the start of this post: with a character in my head, a desire to do more with him, and no clear indication of what form that more ought to take. It is, after all, a game situation, not a comic book one. It's not the sort of thing where you can just ponce off and do a limited series on the side, is it? No matter how tempting it'd be to get Dorothy in on the deal. . .

Meh. Suggestions, anyone? If I ever did come up with separate stories after all this lot was done, would anyone actually be interested in reading 'em?

Well, actually, since there's going to be a time delay between the last session and this one (and you'll probably again wind up in a space where you could take a few weeks or what not after this session), you and Batya probably could plot a mini-series.

I'll let you know when for game as soon as Mer gets back to me.

Well, duh. Hello! *waves*

I think you should write more.

But then, I always think everyone who writes stuff I like should write more. It's cheerfully hypocritical of me, given that I don't write. :P
