You know, if ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
strangevisitor7 and I took all the emails we send back and forth about plot points and what does this character know about that character, and planned/potential stories, we'd have a novel! Well, we already have a spreadsheet [g] I created one for my Bloodties series years ago to keep track of 500 years of immortal storyline, and once I realized how complex what Casey and I were doing was getting, I decided to start off with one for our shared universe. So it has dates and stories that have been written, along with ones we're thinking of writing, along with things we know happened but might not ever be in a story. It's just stuff that's good to know for character motivations. Like I know that Charlotte took Ezra and Maude to London when he was thirteenish and while there, visited Rebecca. May never write it, but I know it happened. And I know that Ezra was the one who introduced Charlotte to Tony Stark at that party in France. Though I've always wanted to write a story with Rebecca, so maybe that one will happen. But you get the idea!
Today, I needed to know what Ezra told the guys about Maude after the end of 'The Truth Is Immortal' so I don't have Charlotte stepping all over it in the story I'm writing that's set a month later. As I told Casey, we'll have better continuity than most TV shows do! I think we have their lives plotted out till about 1928 at this point, and pick them up again around 2002.

It's a little odd in one way as I know more about her now than I did when I started writing her years ago - 400 years into her future!

However, I have more faith in the both of you. Truly. :)

Ok, I will care. But I won't like it.
Too much.
(And I don't have a Sark icon, why?)

I just wonder if the Ezra, Tony, and Charlotte in Bali story will ever get written. I really want to know how they almost got her killed!

Charlotte is the best OC ever.
Now I'm thinking of all the Highlander and POTC characters and wondering if some of them ever meet Charlotte.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-06 09:10 pm (UTC)From:Well, she probably met all the PotC characters. I rather think she probably kept an eye on the Turner offspring through the generations. She would have got along well with Elizabeth, both being from the same class and background. As for Highlander, I know she met Rebecca early on after Jack died, and they stayed in contact over the decades. Obviously Methos -- that's what started all this! Duncan she doens't meet till 'He's a Pirate'.

Date: 2009-01-06 09:24 pm (UTC)From:Highlander: What about Amanda, Connor, Darius, Fitz, Robert and Gina, Marcus, Cassandra or even Kronos, Caspian or Silas?
POTC: Gibbs, Barbosa, The monkey Jack, Pintel and Ragetti, or Mullroy and Murtogg?
I'm extremely curious but you don't have to answer.
