Will they be discussing the minimum size and/or age of the spirits to not be required to release it? Perhaps the per-person quota? Maybe they'll flesh out any limitations on technology involved so as to maintain a sustainable spiritual ecology?
Will there be a special license required... issued by State or Federal Government... or perhaps another sort of governing body?
If you remember back to Jade 4 and 5, Tansy captured Jinn, and then Jade and Mongoose spent time training Jinn to defend herself from poaching Avatars. Jade/Jinn and Mongoose probably have the most practical knowledge on how Avatars and Spirits work in world..

That would make people think of a very effeminate male winged lizard or an effeminate male genie.... his codename will probably be somewhat gender neutral, we don't know what non-avatar powers he has but I doubt that he's a gadgeteer, and based on lack of creative impulses in learning to hunt, devisor isn't likely either, Paragon is subtle enough a trait, but he could have an internal Energizer trait that hasn't surfaced yet.Valentine wrote: Danny's code name should be Drag Din.

Why do I suspect that, at some point, either the TLWs or Mischief or Jade are going to get Danny to 'fuzz' and then hit him with some kind of color spell or dye so he actually IS pink?

She did something to her spirit, but she is not sure what happened. It could have been destroyed, consumed, ejected or possibly just hiding in Tansy's hallow.

Why does everyone automatically assume that I'm going to be mean to Danny? I haven't so far! I haven't been mean to 'Shine. I haven't really been mean to Knockoff! Why persist in this misbegotten belief that Danny is in for some serious torture and mind-games?

Shine was bullied, shot at, and lost his girlfriend.
You dropped Knockoff off of a mountain, nearly killing her, you had her kidnapped and tortured, and then schooled by one of the Whateley instructors in grace.
The only character you haven't been mean to is Headrush, and Morpheus was mean to her.

You don't need to rewrite history to find a good story (or ruin the happy ending).

HisHer family was supportive and her friends were understanding. Her best friend asked her out on a date. They eventually married and raised a family." But her other friend, who was also transgendered, began to spiral into depression seeing her friend get what they both wanted, with little hope of getting it herself. She was unable to reconcile her joy at her friend's happiness with her own jealousy and desperation. Jackie tried to help her, but she began to try dangerous magical treatments and experimental devisor drugs. Jackie and her spouse began to argue over how to help their friend and eventually separated. Their older child tried to aid their "auntie" in her quest, and got entangled with the criminal element of their city. Their young child was unable to handle the family's separation, and began to act out in school. And then it got worse...
I'll admit that most of that is extrapolation that could be done to any story foundation. But the core is the introduction of the poor, unfortunate friend, whose presence transforms the story from fluff into a real drama. If you wanted to make this a Whateley story, you'd skip all the stuff I wrote about after the marriage and have Jackie go to Whateley while her new significant other stays behind trying to help their friend. Meanwhile, Jackie has to watch from a distance as their friend falls apart, while undergoing a variant of Ayla's quest at Whateley to find working changeling technology.
Actually, I kind of want to see this story now. If it inspires anybody, please feel free to take it and run.

Do you think Danny and Frank are going to end up friends during the new school year ? They both have similar issues (OOC we know that Elrod don't plan on making Danny a girl permanently, but Danny is afraid of it. On the other hand Frank's fate is pretty much sealed at this point.) And they could use some moral support.

Oh? Don't I?
It might be that Danny's changing status is simply postponed or delayed or slowed by him going Wihinape from time to time. He still might end up 100% female by the time things are done.

Is it (like Kayda) a 'normal' hetero boy forced to experience the world from what he (at least originally) sees as a weaker person, dominated and raped, struggling to make sense of his place in the world... a somewhat ironic situation given that as Kayda she has far more power and potential than that boy ever would have. People joke about Elrod torturing his character, but look at it from another perspective - this girl has been forged by some intense flames. She has come to recognize how people, especially men, see and treat women in our society. Could Brandon... or the reader... have seen and acknowledged some of those same prejudices without seeing it in this fashion?
I wrote interactions with Fling in the context of understanding how our friendships (good or bad) have an impact on our personal goals... the power of peer pressure and the interest in doing things for the acknowledgement of others. Could I have done so without a gender flip? Yes, I could have. But again, there's a different in friendships and connection/intimacy between male and female... and in friendships that have a relationship component. Without a gender swap, I might not be able to explore those elements.
Could the gender flip just be for hyjinks? sure. Could do lots of things. But a well written, well planned story doesn't include anything without a reason for its being there. Sometime that reason is just to provide a contrast for something else... but it HAS to have a reason. If not, no matter how good it is, its presence lessens the impact of your story. The most obvious cases of this is when we look at the tedium of a block of lifetime story, in which the author describes everything that happens all day, every day. Imagine telling stories about living on a farm. Farm life has its share of adrenaline inducing crazy intense moments worthy of spinning a yarn... but they don't happen every day. And when you tell stories about farm life, you talk about the time the calf was being born during the tornado that wiped out everything but the barn you were in. You don't talk about every detail of the daily chores that you do every day for 80 years.

He's is Kayda's younger brother, so no way he's getting to be enrolled as a sophomore with Kayda -- Brandon was a junior, taking college-credit math classes, and *even so* Kayda was put in with the froshes.
OTOH, I think he's too old for Junior High -- I can't remember any in-story info regarding his age, but a couple of his friends already have driver's licenses, so I think he's already in high school
So, unless his first story tells different (or Elrod offers Word of God contradicting my induction), he's going to be a freshman. His/Her roomie(s) should also be froshes. So, probably not Lancer. Although Hank might take him under his wing, as a non-gay male in Poe.
Hmmm... who are the known or likely Poesies froshes for 2007? So far, I think... Knockoff, Ribbon, Roulette and Crimson Comet. Knockoff is an Elrod character, which might be relevant. Morpheus might have a couple others -- Absinthe and... what was the codename of Pinball's protégé? Sphere?... might make it into canon yet. Glow apparently is not coming to Whateley. And, of course, there are likely to be a couple NPCs added for flavor.

What would be the proper adjective for people who are attracted to she-males?? Or maybe it's Ayla... It'd sure be surprising... Or Maybe not???

... A crush doesn't have be viable, in any way, does it?
... Dragonrider? She apparently "bloosomed into a desirable young woman" by G2...
... Jade. No... ... Yes?? ... ... Vamp??? ... I'm basically running through all the unconventionally pretty people? ... Belle... Tennyo??? I'm basically trying to ship him with everything to see if it sticks. ... FoeYay... Hekate's Master... No. Can't. HM's form is most definitely male. So that's basically the only limit. ... JOBE! OMG! JOBE! Or another Drow... ... Anything that can at least register as female at a glance is on the table.
... Mrs. Carson. No. NO. No. ... Hartford? BigNo. Gonna stop here...
Angel . That one might actually work! It seems she's unattached...

Who else is compatible with Mountain Lion form other than Cyberkitty? Unless there's other large feline shifters... Miyet, maybe?? ... Or a human who's into that sorta thing???

Ok even though he's not available last we've heard Danica (both Danica forms) and Techwolf cause Cats and Dogs living (uhh sleeping) together...
Miyet is another possibility... As has already been said
Now there IS another possibility that I've overlooked, if a certain changeling that's living in Cincinnati changes her mind about Whateley, Silver Ghost could get a big kitty....

Right! The Weres. So, if we're gonna ship Dani (Fem name form 'cause Lion form is fem) with a Were, how often are they gonna meet up? I guess on weekends... How is he gonna handle 3 lovers? Doesn't that take a bit of juggling, especially if the Lion form one is off-campus?

Makes sense, given that he doesn't have a POV story yet... Also depends on how you count lines, but, I guess we can say that Danny has about 1 story's worth of material written about him in Canon... And this might be the longest Character thread, so yeah. Unless Hekate's Master beats Danny... The threads, that is, aggregated over all three/two forum iterations...

Which just leaves two questions:
(a) how many minutes after stepping over Poe's threshold will it be before Jade tries rushing him into WonderCute? (Probably not many, given it's conceivable she'll have Jamie the Spy Speck(s) watching the entrance for familiar arrivals - unless, of course, fate conspires to have Kayda and Danny meet other Poesies before arrival on campus)
(b) will Kayda at least half-jokingly encourage him to at least meet up with the other members of WonderCute, or will she take on the role of protective Big Sister and stand up for him?

In a way, I think I am biased because I have a twisted version of Poe. I don't see it as that supportive regarding those that are reluctant to embrace their new found gender complexity. At least they have counselling to help them deal with their situation but my vision is still clouded by things like Ayla not being considered as a boy for most of the year by pretty much everyone (except Jadis, Adalie and Vanessa), and I feel like it was more of a conscious decision by the authors (around 2014 I think ?) to change that rather than something that happened to the characters to make them realize that he could be a he even with a girl figure. In a similar way, even if it's too soon to tell, people's reaction to Frank/Esoteric are not really stellar. I think Mrs Horton mean well when she is aghast by Frank wanting to « pass as a boy » (because it could make him the subject of a lot of abuse from the campus bullies) but I am not sure Frank is taking that sort of thing really well.
Some said that Danny has only 2 problems, Girls and him transforming into one. Well, at the very least I would add that he has a third problem, he is Kayda's brother. De facto he has a target painted on his back (and we know that Whateley's security is … not perfect. If I remember correctly the cabal has even indicated that the G1Y2 would show it quite well.) Also, contrary to 95% of Poe's residents, he is out in the open. I don't see him being able to hide his mutation. So yeah, even if girls are attracted to him because he is cute, I expect him to be harassed, a lot.
« Poesies stick together » is almost a mantra at this point. I am wondering if it will really have an impact. Would they really protect him, and if then, how ? I can only remember the suicide watch for kayda as an example of the mantra, the others being more « Members of team kimba stick together ».
Sorry for the rambling.

A - Never apologize for expressing an opinion. In this case, you are reminding ALL of us that Poesies supporting each other IS the way it's supposed to be - outside. And on the inside as well - if someone gets hyper-depressed because of teasing, whether it's inside or outside, they need support. Teasing in Poe? Sure - but there has to be a line where Mrs. H says "Enough!"
B - How much will Danny get teased? Not sure. But certainly not to the point of breaking him down or causing serious depression. I already have some revelations planned that will be quite surprising and will put a lot of things in perspective. And no, just because I talk about Danny being a chew-toy doesn't mean he will TOTALLY be a chew toy.

Now regarding Frank, bear in mind that it's still super-early in his tale. From a literary perspective there is undoubtedly quite a lot more to be covered, and how things are presented thus far create tension and conflict.

Well, usually a Hero has a protagonist, they are almost as much defined by who it is they oppose as what it is they stand for.
A "chewtoy" is usually without protagonist, it is circumstance and "Murphy" who they contend with. It is as much their friends, family and "life" they battle, as any "enemies".

No no no. It's Centurion who's allergic to strawberries.

Herding cats, difficult? Surely not!

Seriously, thank you for your time and effort. It is appreciated.

Danica is lightly furry.
Eventually, Danica will learn that there is a sort of fifth form, a slightly less feline version without the fur, but that's in stories to come. Maybe. It depends on what I want to do
(Edit to change likely to lightly. Having to use DragonDictate and/or type one-handed because of my shoulder surgery, so mistakes creep in here and there)

Marvel doesn't stoop that low, that was someone on acid asked to write a movie about "Cat Woman" who never looked at a comic book in their life, and had no self respect for what they were making. You cant intentionally make something that bad, so it can't be propaganda.

But with the Stray Cats he could boost his self confidence a little until he gets stuck as Danica with "Stray Cat Strut" also who doesn't like "Rock this Town"Rose Bunny wrote:
