Yeah, if I sacrificed my life for some dumb nerd and he managed to get himself killed right after, I think I'd just be like "gently caress it" too.

And the shitpost we read
Is a billion light-years old
A ghost just like the rest of us
Is Erin going to tattle on her sister?

Well, it never really got explained why everyone suddenly remembers Erin and are aware she is a Hell Lord now. I think the only suggestion the story provides is that it happened when she lost her soul to save a boy.

But, hey, at least they will be together now and it won't even be sappy.

I think the idea is, memory of her got wiped when she went to hell, and the way her "human half" escaped the first time didn't undo the process, like it was illegitimate in some way. When she goes full demon and walked around like that, she has more "officially" left hell, and so her memory is allowed to leave with her.

Idunno, it's all silly ghost logic anyway, so this is just the way it [i]feels[/i ]to me. Like different methods of leaving hell might or might not undo the "erased from mortal existence" status.

March 28, 2015 :: BOBBINS CONCLUDES! Will it ever return? I never say never, but the old characters won't return for a good while. Thanks for reading it! I'm taking a break next week to work on a writing a new story - Charlotte and Shauna's "Space Is The Place". See you here on April 6th.

Aw yeah. LOTTIE IS BACK.

Time for Murder She Writes 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Edit: Also going by Allison's tumblr, the next story (presumably after "Space Is The Place" is called YAWNING SKY. And will feature Robert Cop and Serene Wanderer who just showed up in this last story. Kinda like the mystery teens showed up right at the end of Scary Go Round now I think about it.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
So wait--was the being done with Bobbins thing specifically being done with the people prominent in this last story arc, and we'll still see the SGR crew from time to time? Or is Tackleford being abandoned entirely?

Next story is Charllote and Shauna, so the former. We'll probably catch glimpses of their lives here and there.

I think the specific problem he had was that pulling back to include Bobbins and SGR characters made juggling continuity too hard. Now everyone is dead or squared away, with a stable situation that'll allow him to rotate them in and out like he did during Bad Machinery.

Considering this is the much-touted space-themed sequel to Murder She Writes, I think it was always going to have a fixed ending. Presumably after that we'll move onto Yawning Sky, which may or may not be the new ongoing.

It says something that Margaret Thatcher herself refused to privatise the Royal Mail.

I'd also like to see Ryan give Humphrey the TRUE MAILMAN FACTS.
