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.

I'm in favor of not having an "infinite universes" kind of mechanismI'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.  [[User:Ziggy|Ziggy]] 20:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

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.

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?

Latest revision as of 07:33, 28 April 2010

The overall story arc really needs to be expanded/solidified.

The University needs some more details. Maybe some sketches.

Escape backstory could always be fleshed out more. This plays heavily into the character and history of Durand and Llieah.

Use the information in Category:HOZZ_brothers to flesh out the brothers themselves.

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?

Shaquell, the dragon could use fleshing out. Also, he needs a much better name.
