The hell of working in an ongoing world

Argh! The Foglios aren't going to make it easy to figure out who to put into this game, are they? *Sigh*.

Yes, yes -- it's just a Heterodyne Story, and we can (and probably must) to some degree fiddle with continuity. But I'd really prefer to keep as close to canon as reasonably possible. We'll see how we have to play this: yesterday's page doesn't bode well...

Yaas. And Narbonic is really much easier, because there is so much *space* in it. I can simply say that this happened "in the past", and not worry *too* much about the fine details of when.

The trick with Girl Genius is that the story is so *tight*. I mean, the entire series since the beginning has taken, what, maybe a couple of months so far? And the scenario is constantly shifting. That's part of what makes it such a good story, but it *does* make it rather harder to work a substory into the middle somewhere, even acknowledging that it's apochryphal..

Oh, yeah. And there's always been a sense of open space, with passing references to adventures that we've never seen, like baker's yeast devouring a Swedish embassy.
