As we wrap things up…
Jenny Everywhere disclaimer:
“The
character of Jenny Everywhere is available for use by anyone, with only
one condition. This paragraph must be included in any publication
involving Jenny Everywhere, in order that others may use this property
as they wish. All rights reversed.”
Hoo boy.
Never again.
Some characters lend themselves well to crossovers. Mindmistress does very well with that sort of thing, for instance.
Some do not.
About halfway through this story, I found Flickerflame did not.
I
finished it, but it was a chore. Sometimes you have experiments, and
one thing you have to remember, experiments sometimes…fail.
Promise. Never, ever again will there be a Flickerflame story heavily into parallel worlds and crossovers.
The Next Level has enough characters to play around with. Lafferty tangling with anyone else…sort of misses the point.
Lafferty will be keeping his butt home from now on.
Still…he wouldn't go through all this without getting something out of this. Hence, he has potential allies…
…Which he'll never call on, for fear of reprisals against his family and himself.
