I feel that a story with Sara in it could afford to be big bads, but it could also focus on her growth into her nature, and show how that is driving a gradual wedge between her and the people who can't think in fifteen dimensions. Or bending them into pretzels as they try to keep up, hello Petra and Jet.
I haven't read all the stories yet so maybe this has already been used... but I feel there is a lot of room. It might just require veering away from the "beat up baddies" formula.

But we like Sara banging the baddies!

"This is a learning experience that you have to handle by yourself. All baby GOO's have to go through this."
This removes Gothmog from directly intervening in the situation.
Help/advice can be given. "Yes, there IS a solution. You just have to find it."
Also this gives the author the space for Rabbit-Hat-Pulls.

Yes, i'm looking forward to the next instalment, but i'm also willing to wait for the idea's/stories to be fully matured.
They'll be all the sweeter for the wait.

Sara and her ability to interact with the WU could be completely redefined into whatever Branwen (formerly Dr Bender) chooses to do with her moving forward. I mean... seriously... if this were Buffy, you know Sara would spend at least one season found, but still stuck in the circle... able to be called up, involved in things, but still trapped at the end of the day. Then the second season, they'd botch a release plan... part of her would be free, life changing events would happen and then, in a moment of sacrifice to prevent someone else getting killed, she'd have to take back the full burden of being the Kellith and it would change all those new relationships and etc.
But I have no doubt that if Branwen WANTS to bring Sara back into action that she can and will find a wonderfully creative way to do so. Instead, I want to ask that people not press so hard to make it that Sara is the only contribution that Branwen can make. She's a wonderful author and we should be happily encouraging ANY return she wishes to make to writing in the universe. Whether that is Sara, another character who you've met already, or something completely new.

Absolutely! I may have a particular fondness for this one character (ahem crush ahem), but any writing would be wonderful. Total agreement and support there!Kristin Darken wrote: But I have no doubt that if Branwen WANTS to bring Sara back into action that she can and will find a wonderfully creative way to do so.
