Huxley posted:A+J I know he didn't write this about Fallout, having wrapped that up last night this resonates a little harder. Good on the whole, but with a distinct "Mmm, we're going to withhold just enough stuff for Season 2 to make this resolution feel a little hollow" feeling right at the end.

I suspect Allison always intended for Shauna and Lottie to drift apart, but wasn't sure how to do it Something too fantastical would lean against the Tacklefordian spirit that it's the very normal, true-to-life elements rather than the plot which shapes the cast Blossom would have been great for a narrative that followed the cast to sixth form: nobody in the cast has a really wealthy background (Sonny Craven/Mildred Haversham are upper middle class at best) and her abrasive personality would lend some tension There's an interview somewhere or other where Allison touches on the core problem however: he can't (or won't?) write any narratives that have that same cast age into R rated topics, or it will impact the marketability of the earlier stories. At the same time, writing older teens without touching on adult themes or bad decisions at all can come off really unrealistic. I guess the solution was to dredge up the SGR B-list cast and write Giant Days? I actually like Sarin's art but there are moments in it where one goes, hmm, I feel like this was written for Shauna and Lottie instead.

They trade the concept of their friendship to avert disaster as I recall. quote:There's an interview somewhere or other where Allison touches on the core problem however: he can't (or won't?) write any narratives that have that same cast age into R rated topics, or it will impact the marketability of the earlier stories. I'm beginning to think Allison's true problem is that he refuses to hire, consult with or even exchange greetings with anybody who actually knows anything about marketing. I'm not quite sure I understand what he's saying, particularly as so many powerful stories meant for younger audiences draw that power from R rated topics. Take something like Avatar:TLAB or Harry Potter.

Have to admit I don’t get this one. Thirty years ago… kids would chuck vegetables at men who were on their way to give flowers to people? We Are Reproducing Actually, though, since the next chapter is about (checks notes) the relationship between caffeine and anemia, I’m’a put it on the back burner for now and skip to the next one.

ronya posted:I suspect Allison always intended for Shauna and Lottie to drift apart, but wasn't sure how to do it Yeah, from Allison's epilogue to Bad Machinery volume 10: John Allison posted:When I started Bad Machinery, my idea was that there would be 21 cases, one for every term of the seven years of British secondary education. In the end there were ten, but I think that was enough. I covered such a lot of ground. As time went on I began to feel melancholy at watching the carefree 11-year-olds of the first story vanish, swallowed up by the weird angst, confusion, and adventure of the tween and teen years. Things started so happy-go-lucky, but the more aware one becomes of the world, the more perilous that world becomes. I had to balance the ups and the downs. These were always meant to be fun, silly stories, but there was always a wolf at the door that I never imaged being there until I started writing them. So yeah, Allison did want to keep things rated PG for Bad Machinery. That said he did dip his toe in more mature themes with Steeple and Solver.

Samovar posted:Blueberry Steelfingers is a really cool villain. Look at the guts in this dude to have set up all those events behind the story, causing all the things the natives are going to war for, and then going to visit these same natives while unarmed and ready to manipulate them further. The writing in Blueberry continues to be impressive, every character always manages to be interesting and with a depth you don't expect from a "western". I'm kinda sad I never looked into it years ago when it still had some presence in the European comic book shelves around here.

He's dressed up fancy and carrying flowers, which suggests he's hoping to impress a girl, and the kids think it'll be funny to spoil that impression.
