If you can think of an excuse to pull Aulhar in

So, planning on starting a new spinoff series, and I have a Flower-based question I want opinions on by Calliope on 2022-06-28 06:38:00 UTC Writing Reply

For people not in the Discord, or who haven't checked the Writing channel there lately, I'm in the planning stages for a new pair in Finance. My kind of ultimate working goal right now is getting to a narrative point where one can start trying to write very mild, very safe badfic for the express purpose of looting it. He'll get in some trouble for it, but that's not the part I want input on.

That trouble is going to take him to the office of the Morning Glory, who, on the wiki, is listed as potentially not knowing she's the temporary head of Finance. She'll definitely be aware by the end of this. So my question is: are people alright with that change? And since she only has two listed appearances, are there any strong opinions on how she should respond to such a thing, or do I have pretty free reign on that front?

EDIT: One of said two appearances, Minor Gods, has a restricted link now that it's been published. I don't know who to talk to about that but I'm gonna assume Nesh.

Yeah, that one's on me. by Huinesoron on 2022-06-28 07:38:40 UTC Reply

I've fixed the "Minor Gods" link - it got eaten by Google. It's here now.

I've also added the link to Empire State of Mind, which is what you really need; I think it's the only actual appearance of the Morning Glory. Between those two pieces you should get a pretty good feel for what she's like.

I'm fine with you telling her; it was mostly a one-off gag. And if you need to cameo Sambar as Finance's resident conspiracy theorist, feel free.

Thanks much! by Calliope on 2022-06-28 07:41:16 UTC Reply

I'll take a look at these in the morning and hopefully get to writing the needed intro piece before the crime boys can start doing their thing. And hopefully realize I only need a handful of minor characters to fill the place out, and not several dozen or anything.

please poke me. It'd be nice to get a cameo in or even a cowritten segment.

Will do, but it might take a couple stories. by Calliope on 2022-06-28 22:22:57 UTC Reply

Basic order of operations is "introduce the boys, start scamming the universe, [several units of spoilers], probably start doing crossovers at that point". First will most likely be with Intel, but after that... I like the thought of doing things along the lines of Empire State of Mind, roping non-Acquisitions agents into helping with Acquisitions work.
