I have a few thoughts on your latest post Gazer. It seems the 'verses are bleeding over more than we thought

Spoiler

because I didn't mention hush puppies in the Max-verse. Also, can we assume that Erik will give a similar talk in the prime universe? Or will we see a post dealing with that?

Looks like the plot is thickening nicely.

Exactly right, shastastwin! Hope you don't mind that bit of poetic license.

As far as 'prime-Erik'

leuth, I also enjoyed your post!

"brown in a 350 degree oven for a half hour".

I just wanted to pop in quickly and say: I'm not caught up on the story right now because we have zero Internet at my house. (I'm stealing a little time on my sister's computer at her house. ) So... yeah, sorry to all my collaborators, but I'm pretty much going to be out of commission until we fix that.

I'll try to catch up when we get Internet back, but I wanted to make sure everyone knows that's why I'm disappearing.

Just let everybody know, most of the blast went upwards. It was only the edge of the explosion and it was coming out of the water. The main part of the fountain is fine if a bit empty.

My segment is coming together nicely - nearly done, and then needs the typing

I also need to have a look at what colors you're all using - although I'm not quite sure that you all use them in the same way ...

Looking forward to it, Varna!

I don't think we're using matching colors. My regular blue, however, is for the prime (usual) universe.

I've been mostly using my typical colors (which are character-coordinated) in writing my segments. They have no bearing on which 'verse I write about. However, I'll likely use the breakdown of my last post to help mark them in the future. That is,

Which of those four correspond to your three, stargazer? *is confused*

I need more time for my post, after all - I checked some historical facts and have got them wrong, so I need to rewrite.
And to see whether gargoyles are involved (yes, I found that possibility when checking historical facts )

You're right, Varna, there's a gargoyle clan in London that would know about the various North American clans (including the Silvermoon family).

Note that a number of my posts after April 1 continued in the blue color but

My recent posts follow this color scheme:

Like shastastwin, I reserve the right to vary this as needed for literary purposes.

Is that the clan with Scottish connections - or is that a separate one again?

Now I need to study your posts and see which of those four I might have a chance to use ...

Varna, I'm going to answer your question, and if I screw up I trust that stargazer will set me straight.

The clan with Scottish connections is the Manhattan Clan (moved there in the 1990s along with the castle they called home). Erik is from that Clan, being the son of two characters from the show that spawned the franchise. Abby is from a Clan in Wyoming. The London Clan has certainly had dealings with the Manhattan Clan (as seen in the show), and I'm sure they could be said to have met gargoyles from the Grand Teton Clan (if that hasn't already been established).

For more gargoyle history, trivia and information, see here.

Your show information is correct, shastastwin! Nicely done.

If I may add a couple notes about the Ditto Story use of gargoyles...

The other North American clans I've mentioned (like Grand Tetons or North Cascades) are ones I've created in my own writing (as opposed to those on the original show). So while it hasn't been 'officially' established that the London Clan has connections with them, it's certainly reasonable. However, due to the difficulties in getting across the pond (gargoyles can't just buy a ticket and catch the next transatlantic flight ) those connections are probably electronic, via videophones or the like.

But it's safe to say the London Clan would know of their Tetons counterparts if you want to write that.

Also note that Erik and Abby really aren't typical of their kind. Most gargoyles tend to be rather reclusive since they're so vulnerable in stone sleep. But their experiences in the Ditto World have allowed them to open up and be a lot more sociable. The London gargoyles would probably be receptive to meeting Varna (meeting an elf would no doubt fascinate them); they just might not be quite as open about it as Erik and Abby would be.

(If this is confusing, please ask questions here or by PM). [/ramble]

Thank you both for your information!

I now think my first London segment won't need gargoyles - I'll probably PM you for further relevant information for later segments, stargazer ...

I should be able to make a new version of the first segment soon.

On the way back from helping some friends move this weekend, I passed by a sign that said, "Ditto Landing" and one a mile later for "Ditto Marina." Yes, these are real places. I was wondering: have we ever mentioned a Ditto Marina in the story? If not, expect it to premiere soon.

Not from the parts that I have seen. Although it makes sense for Dittotopia to have one.
