It's what sets collaborative story telling/writing apart from all other forms of writing. While we think someone will have their character react s certain way we find out the writer of the character had other ideas. It's just something we have to flow with and as Tiph pointed out, things don't always happen the way we think they should. It doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it's just the way the story work out.

Many posts Tiph has done have not been characters interacting with others but much character development and insight as to some history behind the character. IT's all a part of the grander scheme of the story that makes it so believeable even when we know there are no such things as 'mets' humans. (or is there? What a Face )

If we force interaction between characters, the story begins to lose some of it's appeal. Sometimes writers don't want to write conversations. They just want to write. We have to give the writers that chance to break apart from a scene involving others and just let them take a break and...write.

Or not write anything at all, such as I have done with some of my characters. hey aren't gone, they are just out of the spot light for now. But that doesn't mean they won't be back. On the contrary, they will return in due time, when the opportunity presents itself.

Well said.

We are 'story writers' not 'posters', to put it simply. What you write in your post should not only develop your characters and add to the plot but also respect and compliment the other characters (if possible), anything else is just egregious.

ROTFLMAO

YOU...are a nut, Kasai!

No wonder you fit right in here with the rest of us. LOL

And thank you. It was nice to stretch my Yelena wings once more. I just had to edit my post to show she did change her appearance. After some thought and plotting it was later agreed to change her appearance just in case.

Cool, Lac. Nice work pulling Henkel and Nicolai together.

I'll work on a post as soon as I can. I am going to develop something with Henkel and the 'meta-hunter from the REG-MET Division, Lance Garret. Aside from Henkel's own personal interested in catching Rutherford, he's still trying to capture Apex Fusion and all the other heroes that are on his radar.

It's time to cook up some 'evil scheme' for Apex. Something that will threaten all of Chicago. An event that just might require the collective efforts of RAID, the FBI and the Meta-human Resistance to stop.

Whew! There! I have the outline done. Now I just have to write it, after a little more research for realism, of course.

After this post, Grey Pyre will be tied in, and possibly even Nicolai. It may also generate an event that will require the united powers of the Resistance. The Texas events will of course remain a separate plot line, but this may even effect Yelena.

Sweet! You rock! I've been honestly wracking my brain about how to tie Grey into things but I just couldn't come up with anything good! What would we do without Tiph? alien
