Seraphin Takes the Beast for a Ride and Mister Toad is Green with Envy

Seraphin has already taken a tentative step toward writing an article and that's spectacular when it came only a few minutes after approval as the new God King.  I love the enthusiasm and I love it in anyone but the Seraphin is tribal blood.

Seraphin comes from the Guild of Scribes and Wizards and it was never his overt purpose to become a guild member but the need for it arose from within some hidden mist and he went within it to learn its secrets.  When he emerged he said the mist may have revealed his destiny.

Seraphin has written previously but not for anything which will be accessible online in on- or near-real-time so it inevitably presents writing opportunities which were previously impossible.  In his exploration of Colossal Cave and the adventures within it, he bears the flags and pennants from the Frasers, the Guild of Scribes, and the Scots.

Ref "Colossal Cave" by Willy Crowther (earliest of large-scale game simulations).


As Mister Toad in this story, my green color is even deeper due to the envy of you for seeing how Seraphin's adventures will evolve.

Zen Yogi:   I thought you love Mister Toad?

I do, Yogi, as he was the most maniacal of the creatures in "The Wind in the Willows."  It could be as much as sixty years since first I heard the story.


Tip to Seraphin:  the way I have gone with segregating characters physically with italics may be a generally useful too since the alternative which requires double quotes to delineate the spoken passages.  The formality of purpose may be strangling your work without giving any benefit.


Should be great coolness when he's got one he thinks is valid to release since likely he will want me to proof it and critique in general for style.  That's when it's important to hold way back on what I might have said if I were writing it instead.

I would be hurt by pulling away from an anti-war position and the reactionary views regarding certain aspect of government.

Zen Yogi:  saying it would hurt you is manipulative, Silas

I understand and nevertheless it's truth.


Zen Yogi:  Seraphin could help with the final push to a million reads for Ithaka!

He certainly could since there are less than eighteen thousand to go.


Open-ended query in I wonder if I see Seraphin with a few sample Web stories to see what he might do with them.

Zen Yogi:  is that some kind of Pass/Fail test?

Nope, it's observing evolution in action.


I'm chuffed about this, mates.  There won't be any long Madison Avenue promotion and you can see it if you it back up to the top.  It has already started.

Zen Yogi:  yahoo!

Woohoo, bear buddy.
