I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

Ok guys, very punny. You've cut us all with your rapier wits, so now let's get back on topic please.

If Sara was rescued, what effects would she have on the plots at large... And then we have to account for when she would be rescued... During Gen1, Gen2, in-between, or Gen3 (+)...
Doing it real late might be easiest to write, needing to not account for anything in previous Gens other than tech and society changes?

There was a possible scene posted in the forum with Mrs. Carson visiting Dr. Otto, so at least one of the ideas being kicked around is pre-Gen2, not that dates matter much to Great Old Ones and their spawn.

I know I'm resurrecting a dead thread but dammit, somebody save Sara! Or I'll have to try a proper evocation and see if I can't pull her over into IRL and she can sort it herself

Well, Bender is around and reportedly doing some writing, so... it's possible.
Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.

Last I heard from her in a chat and PM was 'Working on it"
I took that to mean, "trying to get back on the horse and figure out the new Gen plots?"
But she did make some rather funny comments on my fan fic over at Big Closet! (love them!!!)

The problem with Sara is that she needs to be depowered some (or a lot) before she can be brought back into the story. A problem she shares with several of the Kimba's.
A creative writer of course can work around the problem but her power is such that The Bastard / The Dark Man needs several orders of magnitude of power boost to be a credible threat for Zulu. Which puts him into the range of 'can split the world with his pinky if not careful'. Or the general powerlevel of the Kimba's needs to be toned down to match his.
It makes writing Sara (or Fey or Tenyo) very challenging indeed, and bringing her back into reality (and the stories) equally difficult.
