Okay, so we know we have another day of Jesse/harmonica, a day of Paul-brushoff, Gary seeing Lizzie off and Warren appearing (looking nothing like himself), and finally Warren's bombshell. (Then the Sunday anomaly and back to the pets).
Anyone have ideas or plans for this arc?
I'm sort of wondering whether to prewrite something for tomorrow. Hmm. I guess I probably won't. The harmonica doesn't inspire me much.

Sorry I've been missing all these places where I should probably be writing you a letter to use to tell events from Liz's perspective. I have been super busy this week...and extra tired! I was in bed early Monday night, on the road all day Tuesday, tied up with an insurance problem all day Wednesday, in bed early Wednesday night...
Usually I'm an insomniac, but it seems like all the not sleeping has caught up with me!
Anyway, I am going to try to think of something to write about Warren. I hate how Lynn left that one with a cliffhanger! Sheesh. It seems to me that the answer to him should be obvious: "You're scum, Warren." Duh!
qnjones, for Monday of next week (1/22), since the strip features just Elly, Dixie, Edgar, and Shiimsa, it occurred to me that it might be fun (and funny) to get ANGRA MAINYU's perspective on those events. It might breathe some life into an otherwise WTF waste of space. ;)

That could be fun (so long as they're back in time for Monday's strip!). I imagine being torn away from a love tryst would make ANGRA MAINYU especially cranky, and the doggie-Elly shenanigans would be adding insult to injury.
qnjones, your ANGRA MAINYU could share how she and Faustus managed to fool those toopids and stow away on Warren's helicopter. :)
Oh, my continuity goddess. You do not need to apologize to me. Please take some reassurance in large doses from me. The fact of the matter is that September and October have been pretty rough months as far as For Better or For Worse is concerned

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has found the strip dispiriting lately. I agree this recent April arc is LJ's weird attempt to wrap up the April arc even though April has another year and a half of high school left to go.
Jeremy/April could be fun. I think he could push her to be more direct and decisive. An amicable April/Gerald/Becky who are eerily aware of their eventual fate may have possibilities, too. . . .
Well, I think I'm done.qnjonesOctober 28 2007, 05:29:25 UTC
I have been trying to participate on ARB when I have time, but it's just making me frustrated. When I can't be around, other writers feel free to do whatever they want with my characters...and a lot of it just makes me angry. I'm not even sure what exactly happened with Becky and Howard, but the result has been that I feel like I can't write for her anymore. I have some ideas for Becky and Gerald, but Katje disagrees. Liz--let's don't even go there. That frustration is primarily coming from Lynn herself, and there's nothing any of us can do about that

I'm sorry to see you go, qnjones--you've been with ARB right from the start and I want you to know that I'm grateful for your contribution for the 2+ years (!) that we've done this. I'm sorry for any frustration that I've been responsible for.
Should you change your mind, I want you to know that the door is always open. And either way, please come by here at the Meta from time to time and let us know how you are.

qnjones, as always, if you miss for awhile, I am more than happy to recap. As a point of information, what happened was that when Lynn Johnston retconned the Liz / Anthony / Therese story where Liz wasn't a part of the reason their marriage ended and the Howard attack wasn't mentioned, I wrote up a story where Beatrice Alfarero got ahold of a spare "retcon card" and retconned a whole history with Howard into her life, snarking the whole Anthony / Therese retcon story as a part of the retcon. I was amused by the idea and it seemed an appropriate way to snark, considering what Lynn Johnston was doing
