Yeah, I was playing with what to do with their inevitable reunion, and nothing was really clicking for me. Then, I thought: what would two people who were in love really wanna do after being apart for years? With Seth basically having Mano's powers, that was more of an obstacle than it would be for most! So I figured out a way Seth could get around that little disintegration issue, and voila--a sexy reunion!
Always nice to have something fun and life-affirming happening in the middle of so much darkness and devestation!

Loved the moment--it felt very 'right' and maturely romantic.

Y'alls talent for working together collaboratively is totally cool. I can do the fic thing, I can build a story off of other people's characters, I can create my own, but I've got no gift for that sort of communal storytelling. It's very impressive!

Sometimes it works well and sometimes it kind of only is okay. This has been one of the best--if not the best--multi-author collaberation I've ever done before. The major authors are killing it while being open to others ideas and making things work for them and then we have a layer of writers adding awesome contributions when the can to enhance the diverse voice and creative style to the whole thing.

It just fascinates me. I can totally run with a 'local' idea like Saucy Jones or Laser Ape, even, in some cases, finding that easier than using an established Legion character (who has a certain 'voice' I have to try and convey), but trying to weave a narrative together between distinctive authors seems crazy hard!
(That being said, I play in a few online play-by-post D&D-ish games, and, at the end of the day, that's pretty much an interactive 'tag-team' story, of a sort...)

We also use Facebook's closed messaging system to kibitz behind the scenes and throw story ideas at each other! It really helps a LOT!

It is a true collaborative effort amongst the group. With relatively narrow goals in mind for certain characters. That being said, there are times when things go completely different than expected and change the landscape if you will.
The whole Kalla / Timberwolf relationship and what that has led to came out of nowhere, I think it started with her taking him somewhere during the civil war storyline, and just grew from there...

For anyone who's been following "Lord of the Oval" and is curious about this Clark Marlowe guy and what his deal is, I can direct you to this short story for the lowdown on him and his interesting (I hope) backstory. He's not just a random character from outta nowhere!

I've really been awestruck at how the major authors have been running the narrative. I'd only originally intended to write a few vignettes here and there that would allow the Invisible Brainiac character to get into some sticky situations, but I've been inspired to let the character grow during the course of the story.
Discussing behind the scenes as a group has also helped - the others have been giving me a lot of ideas on my own character
And the most rewarding thing is being told by the others that you got their characters' "voices" right. Especially since our characters are basically extensions of ourselves!
And finally, the whole "shared universe" that we're creating is just awesome. Mind-blowingly awesome.

Cobie, Thank you for picking up my slack. Your "Founders" post worked very well and effectively tied up that segment.
Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to work on any of the other ideas we discussed for "Oval" and I don't see myself having time in the near future. Combine that with MAJOR Case of Writer's Block and serious doubts about my planned storylines fitting into the overall plot of "Oval" and well I just wasn't feeling good about my portion of the effort.
However, I trust your judgement and admire your writing ability so feel free to continue writing the Founder's Storyline in my absence.

I have been writing a little story in my spare time, and was wondering if there are any LMB characters I can use to create a team? The villain I am creating for the piece is very powerful and would be too much for my characters to handle by themselves. I understand the Dark Oval has left a lot up in the air, so three obscure characters are fine. I like teams to have a variety of powers and personalities so there are interesting subplots.
