New short story in process
Rasins:
Ah, okay ... Now I get it. I knew the story about Bob and thought it was a fantastic and typical way for Jim to get around those cliché's.
I remember Spock doing that a lot in ST:TOS.

Not to mention that the writing community has long had a phrase describing the infodumping talking heads: "As you know, Bob..." :D

haha, didnt know that one, Nice!
Rasins:
Oh, Q, you need to watch some more of Jim's talks. They are HUGELY entertaining.
My goal one day is to get Jim to do a reading of Bob. I'm told his voice for Bob is hilarious.

Well, in the long term Peace Talks, but a Mouse/Maggie story for in between is okay. I mean, we still don't know a lot about Maggie and the short might clear a bit of that up.
