Well, first the horror of it struck me blind.  In a blind fit, I wandered
around the church for hours on end.  Bumping into elvi, and stepping on
spittoons.  Finally, the Vaqueras took pity on me, and set me up with a
seeing eye rat until my sight returned.  I was really lucky to finish the
war after that.

While I stumbled around hopelessly, my fellow Vaqueras took pity on me, and
burned the canvas.  (or maybe they just burned it in effigy.)

At any rate, apparantly they missed a copy or two ;)

Subject: WAR: how to order the stories

I liked Brenda's idea, and I think I have a simpler version of it (unless
this is in fact just what she said and I haven't finished processing it
yet!)

Instead of 'as it occurs' - in a single chronological line, which won't work
since so many stories overlap - or 'by faction', which will work but jump
around a lot, could it be set up in a table?  That way different stories
that happened at the same time could be listed side by side, but the
timeline progress by scrolling downwards.

As a side effect, this would in practice probably combine "chronological"
arrangement and "by faction" arrangement, because the stories happening at
the same times are probably happening in different factions, at least for
the most part.

Only the titles and factions would be listed on the original table, which
would be the front page; each title would link to the post in question.

The table wouldn't be that hard to set up, though as always, it's the
contents that would be the real b***h (g) ...

Obviously, like Hell, insanity too has many inner circles. ;-)  Thanks for
the suggestions, but I am not that far gone yet and, as such, cannot
possibly consider weaving the five-hundred and ninety-four-odd post,
bazillion K war into a librarian's cross-referenced version of Penelope's
never-to-be-finished tapestry.

I'm afraid you guys are stuck with "as the action occurred, to the best of
my ability," unless Brenda wants to volunteer for archiving duty in my
stead? <VBG>  I do, after all, have a date with a towel waiting for me on a
beach in Hawaii.

Aloha!

OR http://www.geocities.com/tserisa/forkni/likekissinsister.jpg

It was from Tser's post "Artistic Tweaking," that adjusted a classic 16th
c. French portrait from the Louvre to fit with a suitably evil Cousinly
attack. A post Bonnie (not me) did called 'Like Kissin' Yer Sister'
inspired it. The post had Tracy, while she was running around in Screed's
body, land a mighty lip-lock on Vachon, not realizing until it was too late
that LaCroix was the personality inhabiting the Spaniard's body. How
embarrassing!

I'm not familiar with the tapestry, but I certainly agree that the work
factor is... prohibitive, at best. Tables only work with *small*
collections (CGW has never run more than three simultaneous/overlapping
threads). Databases take LOTS of work.

I'm not that far gone either <VBG>...

(Nancy waves hand in air in show-off fashion) Penelope was Odysseus' wife, who
was being courted by many suitors when it seemed Odysseus wasn't coming home
from the Trojan Wars (he got stuck on that Odyssey, you see <g>).

Penelope said she'd consider their suits when she finished her tapestry. So she
wove all day, and then unraveled during the night. So the tapestry never got
finished---and those silly men fell for it! <G>

            Hi-
            I am sorry to be asking this again, but when I got my new compter
            not all the links were transferred.  I had the latest V4S ep
            bookmarked, but now I can't find it.  It isn't on the Fanfic site, I
            know it was on a different site, but can't remember where.
            Could someone please email me the site where I could find the latest
            V4s"By the Book".  (pretty sure that's the name, if not it is
            something close.)
            Thanks!
            -Amanda

Why goodness, Tracy Sue ... It's such a shame that the Cousins were *so*
careless as to only have one copy of this fine piece of art produced.  And
not to commission any prints or other reproductions, like t-shirts and
posters.  Really lacking in foresight on our part, wasn't it?  O:-)
