The story (currently abbreviated WP) is only in the planning stages, but it always helps to know that someone wants to read it when it's done. ^_^Mason T.

I've re-developed characters for a new world and story, but never just picked one up and dropped her elsewhere. We'll see how it goes.Mason T.

I've also merged a character from post-book-4 (who will no longer exist due to plot changes) into one who originally wasn't going to make it past book 3. Now they are the same guy, in an even worse situation than either of the previous incarnations had to deal with. (It's fun making things worse, isn't it?)<br /><br />Looking forward to maybe reading your transferred character one of these days. :)Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667260282067472646.post-88669018063259800062017-08-09T04:32:36.380-07:002017-08-09T04:32:36.380-07:00That makes sense that a well developed character c...That makes sense that a well developed character could be moved and dropped into another story.

Sometimes characters are like that: persistent and stubborn. Sort of like the cat who keeps climbing into my lap to sit there as a warm, heavy weight. <br /><br />"Hello.
