Thank you!
I took what you and a few RTL lurkers from overseas said to heart... in my
enthusiasm to post something, I didn't make the narrative aspects clear.
Basically I had to change alot of verb tenses and add some quotation marks
along with the new content...
I am also going to experiment with this whole "EPIC" by adding bits in here
and there (kinda like seeing a serial out of order) these will be self
contained little stories that fit within the whole framework of the story.
For instance, the next update may show the very end of the story...it won't
rap up all the characters...just a couple.

Interesting idea...almost like a CW spotlight stories section...
A few things come to mind...I will give you an ide of a variety of thoughts
on the subject varying from easy to do to "oh...I can't do that much html"
Here are a couple different temporary suggestions:
-Do a "library" button/link with "the collected histories of the
realms"
-the word story or some sort of star connoting a story on the sigfig
picture page
-a Newspaper format ...a headline about each story and a sentence
or two.
i.e. Lady Katherine Kidnapped!
Rare Jewel Stolen!
Living w/ Mr. Wizard (in the Parade or society page)
-Rotate through existing stories, featuring 1 a week
(a variation of the spotlight idea)
-Post a list of all the current stories here in CW after soliciting
links from CW and Castle people
Chp. 1 ("Of

I will be editing out typos and preparing more story and pics...Is there any
rule like "each story has to have pics" or something?
I have a couple of short vignettes that fit in my story, but I am unable to
construct "the required movie sets" at the moment = )

| (...) That's a good idea. I'll be having some "out-of-place" stories too, to explain the past, some of them will be told by a different character (Daphne) and it will not be immediately clear what it has to do with the present... but eventually, (...)
