Wowsers. You really have thought a lot of this out.
I don't know how much I'll put in it immediately--a lot of it is based on stories you haven't put out yet. It's to both give you some wiggle room if you change your mind on some of the stories later (imagine if we'd plotted out the GBWC after the first year or so...) and of course to leave room for surprising the readers
(Posting it here doesn't count, since hardly anybody comes by this dump anyway)
Anyway,
All: with one week to go, and some input from various concerned parties, this is the revised working revision list. And there will be a few items not on it added on 6-13 derived from Kyle Steven's story "United Darkness" (to be posted tomorrow) and "Where In The World Is Chelsea Aberdeen?" Part 3 (to be posted 6-13)
The small abbreviations at the end will be in the revision, and help mark where the continuity cited is derived from. There'll be a key posted on 6-13
