The IC thread! Yay!  (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=192474.0)<br/><br/>So instead of let this killer post kill me, it<em>finally</em>dawned on me to cut it into smaller--more manageable--parts. And so I have. The OP of the IC thread is part one of what would have been a four part post. Or, rather, the first scene of a four scene post. But long winded as I am, and having lost my 3/4 of the way finished first draft, what with my suddenly batshit crazy holiday life schedule, this approach carried the day.<br/><br/>But a bonus to breaking the OP down is:  1) The IC thread actually gets posted, yay! So if you want to get into your character and get something to post, you can. 2) I can see how folks want to approach the sequencing of scenes.<br/><br/>I have one more solo scene (meaning only me writing) before I need to do a House Steel scene (probably start Di/Kara, then have whoever wants to come in), then the group scene.<br/><br/>Still a little stuck on what kept me not doing Scene 4 before losing Scenes 1-3 because I had to keep the notepad open for days while no good ideas came to me. And then, predictably, it crashed. This happens to me often. But back to Scene 4: how to get EVERYONE at the same place, same time?<br/><br/>My only thought is House Steel throws a Christmas party, and invites even people on their enemies list and kill on sight list. Maybe she'd invite the Bat family to give them to chance to return to Wayne Manor/Gotham/Batcave for a few days? I dunno. It does seem post-Superman's death that some diplomatic scramble would ensue. And a giant Christmas party could fit the impromptu event bill.<br/><br/>If anyone has a better idea, throw it out there. If not, I'll start plotting that out.<br/><br/>Sorry it took so long. <3
