Exposition or Explanation
For those of you that are wondering just what is going on with this series, this is a short post to give you the basics.
The idea for this series is to have a bunch of independent authors building off of each other. We came up with a framework, the online Communications course, that would allow these characters to interact. If you've read the first eight chapters, you've been introduced to the eight principle characters: Stormy, Snowy, Ginanna, Star, Kendall, Danny, George, and Paige. The correspondence between these folks is to accomplish one part of their INF 169 class, and they'll be sharing information about themselves through email as the story builds. This is the post to ask your questions, and if I'm allowed to answer them without giving away anything, I'll do so throughout! If you want to ask questions about the separate characters, ask them here and I or the others -- whoever is responsible for that character -- will attempt to answer it if it's not "secret" about the character.
As you read through each chapter, there will be comments by the other participating authors with "ICR" followed by their character's name... this is an In Character Response by that character to the currently posting character. Think of it like a thread on a forum or email list.

Edeyn, um I have a question ...
What the heck am I suposed to be doing?
I'm sooo confused and Ginanna keeps trying to take over; she has a very strong personality. Between her, Joanie and company from Whateley and all those gals in my other stories, several of whom are witches/soceresses, I think the women in my head are staging a palace coup, I ....

Pen Pals Lurker
I was wondering, would it be okay to interact with the characters in this story as a sort of lurker? I noticed some others who aren't story authors were referred to as lurkers, and I thought it'd just kinda be neat to be able to interact with the characters in this story. If it'd cause a problem, I can just keep quiet and not add any more comments to this story. Thank you. :)
Respond
If you like, but part of the point is that you're seeing an interaction between the characters, so they (we) won't be responding to you In Character. :)
