This is excellent, really helpful. I'm mulling over a couple of ideas right now. Want to sleep on it, see how the nightmares develop.

This is badass. So I would have to pick one of these lot as my narrator, or create my own and have them meet the cast?

You've given me a lot to think about. I'll definitely cook something up.

However, you may use a stock character, but if they have established voice, do consult, we have a substack and maybe soon a new one if enough people are interested. Some characters by nature appear in almost every story (pinch, Valentine, sometimes Bishop) Part of the project is can we all play together to make something bigger, with some consistent voices, and stories that work together, or create a metatext.

Understood, hoss. I'll sit on it a little while and wait for the beast to rear her pretty face.

Curious as to why Mr E is called Valentine in that Redacted story?

His actual name is Valentine, but he has several nicknames.

This was partially due to a middle of the night text miscommunication between me and WCB, ironically.

Gotta love it. This story I’m working on to send it to the Nine is turning out pretty good I think — I’m super excited for new Nine stories to start coming out.
