6 written, 21 to go. Slower than I like, but making steady progress...

... when the source material simply *hands* me special abilities that I'm going to have to write into the characters...

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...

The one distressing thing about trying to write a LARP that is set in an ongoing universe -- worse, a universe that has updates three times a week -- is the sure knowledge that no matter what I write, the Foglios will pull the carpet out from under me. Almost every page reveals new twists that need to be reflected in the game. Which is okay for now, but it's going to get really annoying by February, when most of the character sheets are done and they do something that completely invalidates several of them. Lord, I wish I knew where the current storyline was going.

*Sigh*. Thank god fanfic (and the generally unreliable nature of storytelling) is officially part of this universe. There are inevitably some things that are going to have to be waved off as, "Hey -- it's a Heterodyne story..."
