Sound like it will work.
Just make sure you write transitions and avoid abruptly changing between scenes; you did that a few times in 8 and that caused some confusion

Yeah don't worry. I'm writing up the next post as we speak, and I'm gonna reintroduce a character who can easily provide the connection to the other LMs, and later on I plan to add another....

By the way, I've been curious-
Around when did you decide that GUnnarson would speak Swedish instead of English swears?
I couldn't help but notice in our original run, we went the first 7 books without Gunnarson speaking Swedish, and he even said damn and hell several times (I know I used them in 5's opening and nothing was said at the time)
Was it around 8 when you decided to flesh him out more?

Never my intention to have him swear, it was just something I either overlooked, didn't address, or didn't feel like cracking down upon until sometime later.
And yeah, I've been noticing that mobile glitch too.

Welcome to the Colorfolk Wikia chat Frankthetriviaman has joined the chat. 5:22 Frankthetriviaman You there? on break, have a few minutes dang it Frankthetriviaman has left the chat. 5:25 Diesel 11 hihihiiiiii Frankthetriviaman has joined the chat. 5:27 Diesel 11 hey 5:27 Frankthetriviaman Hi 5:27 Diesel 11 whats uo *up? 5:27 Frankthetriviaman ok, got a few minutes heres what I was trying to say ask 5:27 Diesel 11 ok 5:28 Frankthetriviaman the thing with Drugg "rearing his ugly head" - that's the coded, incomplete notes Wargrave has, right? 5:28 Diesel 11 yes 5:28 Frankthetriviaman for 20 ok abd you mentioned a follow up to LM 20; are you intending the man to live at the end? 5:29 Diesel 11 would you like him to? 5:29 Frankthetriviaman so we're on the same page- I intend this to be the final, conclusive end to Drugg's story 5:29 Diesel 11 as do i unless in some crazy way someone gets another idea or whatever but i've got no further plans 5:30 Frankthetriviaman LM 8 was supposed to be the end; you we could just forget those notes and leave it be 5:30 Diesel 11 they're merely a means to an end :{ 5:31 Frankthetriviaman you do realize they're going to be useless to the man who steals them, right? 5:31 Diesel 11 yes but if they're stolen by an old assistant of Drugg's..... 5:32 Frankthetriviaman we never finished The Undercover Doctor, but it was going to emphasize that Drugg... to call him a genius is an understatement he was a prodigy; with completel understanding of biology, physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, and other related fields, that was well ahead of his time there's a reason why when Lord Bury's scientists got their hands on his notes for that brief period, even they didn't understand them tack that on top of the fact that this incomplete copy is coded with a cipher that died with drugg long story short- at a key moment our thief realizes this was essentially a fool's errand 5:35 Diesel 11 here's my idea 5:35 Frankthetriviaman * I got to go- can you save these notes, and transfer what you're about to say to the forum? 5:35 Diesel 11 ok 5:36 Frankthetriviaman thanks 5:36 Diesel 11 i'll tell you tonight then 5:36 Frankthetriviaman later 5:36 Diesel 11 bye 5:36 Frankthetriviaman See you later 5:36 Diesel 11 adios

But Gent was not buying the story... not even for a second. He looked at Wargrave square in the eye and then went to place him under citizen's arrest. "Gent, what are you doing?!" Wargrave asked, shocked.
"What kind of an idiot do you take me for Wargrave? It's clear as day you are responsible for the disappearance of the notes" Gent stated.
"But why would you think..."
"I'm not stupid Wargrave. First of all, you and I are the only souls in the country, no, the world, that know of the existence of these notes. No one else at Scotland Yard cared enough to give these papers more than a glance of what they were, and the press was kept in total darkness about them. Second, who on earth would steal them? They are coded in a cipher that died with Drugg, and the collection is incomplete. You yourself stated all you had was a rudimentary understanding of the diagrams and had no understanding of what was written. Factor in Drugg's prodigy-level intellect and the fact that he had no true intellectual equal, the notes are useless to EVERYONE" Gent elaborated.
"Well, that is true, but..."
"And let's talk about the circumstances. I find it highly unlikely that a law-abiding citizen such as yourself would fail to report a burglary in your home... if one even took place! No forced open doors, no broken glass, nothing strewn about as if someone was looking for something. And I know you're old Wargrave, but you are also neither clueless or senile" Gent continued.
"I see where you are coming from, but please consider, Gent..."
"And finally, the most damning fact of all... I find it hardly a coincidence that they would be stolen on the day we agreed upon YEARS AGO that we would meet and see them destroyed" Gent finished.
Wargrave had nothing to say... Gent's logic was solid and rational. There was nothing he could say to justify the circumstances before him. Even Gunnarson, standing back and observing, could not help but agree with Gent.

Eyes- you are transposing from the LM 5 transposing thread in the works, right? I was reading over the latest post and it looks like a section was accidentally skipped
(Walters talking about how his gun was stolen months ago before Gunnarson accuses him of the fingerprints; its toward the end of the chapter

I was transposing from both the stuff in The Works and the original thread; must've missed that. I'll go back and look.

I don't think you need to worry about the original thread at this point; everything is there that needs to be there in the transposed thread, with some grammar fixes, reorganization to make it more coherent, and other minor things. Really; the only thing cut was some subplot stuff that went nowhere, and actually let's the story flow better

Gotcha. I'll focus on that from here on out.

I know y'all probably have a plan for who stole Drugg's stuff, but the fact that the LM books exist in-universe got me thinking- what if we have a novel where a fan of the series uses the information within to commit crimes in some way? They could find left over Blade's Gang and Irish Mob equipment based on where the books say they stash things, for example.

You've got my interest. Wouldn't work for LM 20 but maybe another one.

Post by frankthetriviaman on Jul 26, 2018 14:51:12 GMT -5
That might actually work. If we could flesh out the idea it may very well be one of the hallmarks of our series

I'll workshop it some more and pitch it in chat then

Oh yeah, with the LM 16 Hartley intro, I just realized it doesn't make any sense - Hartley is a friend of Gunnarson, and Walton doesn't like Gunnarson, so why would Walton give that information to Hartley?
Furthermore, it couldn't make any sense for Hartley to know all this stuff before the events of 20. In 16 he asks for them to bring The Man to justice. It's not very logical then for him to know all this information.
Finally, Toz has a story planned in which Hartley dies. What'll we do then?
In other words, I still don't like that PSA from Hartley at the beginning there. It bothers me.

Then Why would this book be LM 16? How did Hartley get all those scenes where Gunnarson wasn't around for 3,5,8 and 13? It's happened before and there's been no issue
And Walton liked how he was portrayed in Baleros, so he's on good terms with Hartley

If Hartley is the understood writer for LM, then we don't need those little blurbs in ever single story. Where did he even get the information to write Baleros?
