| − | ==Principles of Editing==
| + | [[Main_Plot_Arc| The overall story arc]] really needs to be expanded/solidified. |
| − | I propose that we adopt (if not immediately, then soon) an "improv" atmosphere. As far as possible, let's run with whatever the others come up with. This way we avoid lengthy and un-productive discussions, and don't end up contradicting eachother. It's either that, or keep everything in discussion until we all agree on a middle course.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Of course, there will be times when contradictions accidentally arise. Should we allow these, or try to fix them? It might be intersting to just allow contradictions to stand, though it could get confusing to readers.
| + | [[The University]] needs some more details. Maybe some sketches. |

| − | ==Nature of the brothers==
| + | [[Escape]] backstory could always be fleshed out more. This plays heavily into the character and history of [[Durand]] and [[Llieah]]. |
| − | [[:category:HOZZ brothers]] | + | |
| − | ===curse of undead power===
| + | |
| − | [[zack]] | + | |
| | | | |
| − | Oooh, I like that. It shows a darker side of Hugh, as well as a compassionate lead in to the undead powers bit. We'll have to make a reason that the previous "queen of the undead" or the equivelant is in the neighborhood. Is she a Fey, come to earth to observe the HOZZ brothers?

| + | Use the information in [[:Category:HOZZ_brothers]] to flesh out the brothers themselves. |
| − | ===three option===
| + | |
| − | [[cosmos]]
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | This option doesn't really tell us anything. With any of the possiblities we are going to explain it at a later date. However, we should figure the "weird powers" out early on, even if the readers don't know.
| + | [[Cosmos]] has a few questions that need answers. |
| | | | |
| | + | [[Llieah]] has a major backstory element added, also affects [[The House]] and [[Durand]]. Review, comment, and revise? |
| | | | |
| − | ==The Cosmos==
| + | [[Shaquell]], the [[dragon]] could use fleshing out. Also, he needs a much better name. |
| − | [[cosmos]] | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Figuring out the cosmos is rather important, since it will dictate what stories we tell, and how we tell them. However, we could just start writing the stories and let the cosmos develop around them.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The advantage of a top down approach is it creates a consistent universe with the possibility for lots of foreshadowing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The advantage of the bottom up approach is that exciting and unexpected details about the world will emerge, and stories can start before all the details of the universe are figured out.

| − | ===non-multi-dimensional house===
| + | |
| − | [[The House]] | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I'm in favor of not having an "infinite universes" kind of mechanism. I'd be much more comfortable with a relatively well-defined (or at least limited) number of "paralell" or linked universes. Infinite universes are great for crossovers, parodys, and allowing absurdity. I'm not convinced that it lends itself to a more serious story format though.

| − | | + | |
| − | Okay, instead of the house being a 'nexus' and connecting to many different realities, how about this.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The house is the property of the [[:category:HOZZ_brothers|hozz brother's]] [[Durand|fay father]]. For some reason the brothers gain access to it, perhaps Oswald is the most atuned to the fey energies, and when he installs the door in their appartment it links back to their fayrie ancestral home. However, they are also human, so they can travel freely between the worlds. This way we avoid the "infinite universes" thing that many comics with world-jumping tend to run into.

| − | ===Industry, explosives, and gasoline===
| + | |
| − | Ben has a sort of ideal for an industrial society that exists without explosives or fossil fuels. Would we like to work this in to the House of Hozz cosmology? Could this fit in the "real world" or perhaps in one of the alternate universes? How "real" do we want to make the "real world" of the Hozz brothers?
