stealing a DE? why I never!

http://www.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/ Crackrats, you know what to do.

Alternatively: I know I'm not the only one out there whose life has been a little crazy lately, and as a result, I've kind of just a wee bitty smidgen fallen behind on current affairs at the bar at the end of the universe. So! As a follow-up to yesterday's roll-call, let's all sit down and have a cuppa and a nice chat. Introduce your newer characters, tell us what old friends have been up to recently (or not-so-recently), babble about anything interesting you've got in the pipeline (unless of course it is super-secret, in which case you should of course make cryptic hints to the best of your ability) and so forth.

I'm also calling an amnesty on Silly Questions - for all those times you missed something in a thread somewhere, and now these characters are together somehow? but that pup is living in a different universe now? except you're not sure what point this other character is at in canon? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? It happens to us all - me more than most - and nobody wants to look like a goober for asking something so obvious. Except today. Today, this is a goober-free zone. Ask, and (hopefully) ye shall have answers.

(Personally, I realised the other night that I have been shamefully confused for ages about certain members of the Sparklepire contingent in Milliways. Is it Edward-Carlisle, or Edward/Carlisle? My inability to follow an arc, let me show you it.)

What's up, Milliways? I've missed you!

Neat! Do you have any millicanon (or actual canon I don't remember) about what sorts of places Bounds tend to be? Physical, metaphysical, and cultural properties, for instance?

Well, of course! You play him for fun, and drama can be fun when it's not happening to you, and misery can often create drama! Q.E.D.

Not really! Actual canon is that the Bounds can drop you anywhere - a lot of times the places get picked up on as some kind of sacred within the cultural context because of metaphysical forces or ley lines or whatever, but just as often they're totally random. Millicanon is, uh, that they drop Jamie wherever is funny or convenient for me at the time. >.>

Hey, if Diana Wynne Jones can make Jamie's life miserable, so can I!
