Annotated LiaHT 1
On the off chance you’re wondering when I’m gonna annotate the “Guilditizations,” well, those came pre-annotated for us by the fans, and I figure you’re probably getting hungry for something like a regular Guilded Age story anyway.
This one, though, is still a throwback. Phil took point on it (I barely tweaked more than a line or two), but it was originally written as a “filler episode” or “rainy-day script,” meaning that it had little to connect it to continuity. We threw it in when Phil’s ceiling collapsed, which is perhaps a little too close to the rainy-day metaphor.
Phil was like “let’s say this takes place between Chapters 6 and 7,” but that’s the logical guess regardless. Bandit is a member of the team here, Scipio, Rachel, and E-Merl probably aren’t, and the Peacemaker missions got a lot more war-focused after Ardaic tightened the reins in Chapter 7.
What, you’re posting these out of chronological order?! David Willis would never approve!
Hahaha, yeah, David’s a master planner when it comes to those reposts. I’d love to say this was my ideal order, but I probably shoulda posted it between Chapters 6 and 7. (And there’s another story that really shoulda come in before Chapter 28… oh, well.) Maybe I’ll rejigger the archives at some point to put these in that order, but with daily updates, that’d be a lot of work for arguable benefit. But we’ll see!
Speaking of archives, any chance you can update the archive page? The last few chapters are still missing, and it would be nice to put at least a link to the beginning of the annotations to make them easier to find.
Hmm, that wording made it sound like an urgent request, which is not what I intended. Just a suggestion.
Heh, I’d practically forgotten that page existed. I could see my way to updating it for the new year.
Well, since this is a comic (co)written by T, I’d say an incomplete archive page is more like a feature than a bug. I mean, both Penny&Aggie and Fans had their last few chapters missing from their respective archive pages for a long time (both seem fine now, though).
