This, That, And The Other Thing
Okay, I'm pretty sure by now that a few people have noticed the changes done to my signature. I'll get onto the new sig in a second, but I have something else to talk about.
Thing 1
Before I gave my sig an extreme makeover, I had a notice for fans of my Heroes and Halflings series, saying that if anyone had questions to ask about the series, I'll try to answer them. I only got two (if there are any more, ask them here and I'll answer them), and I'm neglecting to mention who asked them, but here they are.
Will Aeolus and Amphitrite return in Wings?
This is an easy question to answer: Yes, they will.
On the way to the fight with the third Halfing, when Stara made that lightning net, why weren't its occupants electrocuted?
You know, I thought I answered this question already, but apparently I have not. Oh well; I'll just do it now.
The idea for the lightning net was taken from the book Magic Steps. In it, the mage Sandry takes remnents of Unmagic gathered at crime sites and weaves it into a net. The criminals she's hunting have Unmagic veining their bodies, and when they step into the net, they can't escape because the Unmagic in their bodies has become part of the net.
Now, the idea in H&H was similar, and it was based on the fact that there is electricity in the world around Stara, and -- being biomechanical creatures -- they would have electricity in their mechanical parts as well as their organic parts. By making the electricity in her net recognize her targets as part of them, the net latched onto them, suspended them in mid-air, and would not release them until she made it.
I'm not sure how sound my reasoning is, but it sounds cool.
Thing Two
Also in that little advertisement, I offered to give spoilers for my upcoming epic Wings for those that begged, pleaded, or threatened enough. No one did, but I'm gonna be nice (or infuriating) and give spoilers anyway.
- New villains in Wings will make halflings look like puppies in comparison
- If you think you know everything about halflings, you ain't seen nothing yet
- The Spear of Ajax is "more than meets the eye" (XD)
- A character you probably haven't given much thought to will play a large role in Wings
- Cameos abound, and a select few will be very familiar to some
Debate, dissect, and cower at your leisure.
Thing Three
Now, for my new sig. First off, thank you Kagha for the banner, even though I still prefer the original, lost, cyber-angel version.
Anyway, you may have noticed the numbers on top of the banner. Each day, they will be bolded and given a quote when you roll over them, all from Wings. When they all are bold -- well, I think you'll know what follows.
*evil laughter*
