One trick you could use with the letters is to read them as the phonetic alphabet.

No problem, anyone else want it I can send it.
(All I have changed is the names to letters for my own use as I've got an idea on doing something pretty cool on my turn... and I won't kill anyone on the toilet! poor bugger!)

I've just noticed that the script is available with names. I won't be reading it until after my post. I know it sounds strange, but I have found the use of letters helpful. With the use of letters, there's more emphasis on character ideas in the mind's eye. At least that's the way it seems to me. I'll definitely enjoy reading with the names, but it's been fun with the letters.

I will work at submitting a post to you, Michael by tomorrow evening.

I notice Z, Q, and C are kind of missing of late and I will try and bring them around as well as any others that have disappeared. I'll try and give some quick snap shots as well as move things along the best I can.

I used the phonetic alphabet so its still kind of letters, just makes an easier read IMO which was the purpose. Also its quite fun cos the chracters still refer to each other as letters (as the invite from U told them to!)

I agree about some characters needing a bit of spotlight lol, As C P and Q have had minimal interest and B the least so me too lol!

B is up front and center in the next post. Yay! I decided to take a peek at the script with names because something had come to mind and required it.

I do have a post written, but I want to have a rest and return to it tomorrow before I send it to Michael. I think I've achieved some of what I'd like to be accomplished, but one night can make a big difference and thus, I'm going to give it that time.

The flavor of the characters is very important to me. That, and the intricate feel that I get from the posts. It really is hard work to try and choose a place where one will start in the next framework. I'm happy with my choice of beginning so far. So alls good on that front. I would like to get a little more interspersion, but I think I'm going to have to settle for longer scenes until I can knock em back and forth a bit more easily.

A rest and then a review and then over to Michael tomorrow.

Take your time, Sandra.  I won't be able to get to mine until Monday night at the earliest, most likely posting Tuesday.

So...please, relax, take your time, and don't post until Sunday afternoon.

Very astute, my dear.

I did a leave folks in the dining car when the group checked out the Conductor.
And when the train stopped and that group came back through.
The dining car was empty.

I didn't forget them, sorry to those folks if it came off that way.
I wanted to leave some folks "available" to have suspicion cast upon them.
Made sense to me to leave a few out to that end.

Regards,
E.D.
