Hmm... palace courtiers. I'll have to remember that. I really hadn't given much thought to where the other children came from. I'm just wondering one thing: in the threads where Astra has children, do they go to school? Or do they always grow up away from any place that could possibly offer such lux...

The 1800's saw the rise of telecomunications, so, in a sense, spelling difference were tolleratable before then, but not after. Shakespere was way before the 1800; his Wikipedia article says he started writing in 1589. However, the spelling he used in his work is still considered acceptable. Just 32...

Aqualaria is a fine name for a coastal nation, and was the original name given ("Not by the maps of Aqualaria." 38 ) but Aquilaria, I think, became established as the valid name due to episodes like 25022 where Fred and Astra argue the differences between their nations. I think people got ...

Well, it's like I said here . I want to put in this branch of the story all the things that are mentioned in other branches, which are even remotely related to "when Astra was little." In regards to the family, it means working all the sibilings into the story at some point. I was hoping n...

I've made the edits you requested I'm looking now for the appropriate show of appreciation for you, but somehow, "much obliged", "eternally grateful", or "forever in your debt" just don't seem to cut it. Is there anything you need done? Twelve hours seems far too short...

That's interesting, I had thought the topic of Astra's family had been avoided everywhere but the threads where she ends up getting married. Astra's age is given somewhere (I believe it's when she's introduced) as in her early twenties. Assuming she's 21 when the story starts, and letting her age in...

When I read it, the first thing I thought of was this: http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6836/inaccessiblespiral.png For the visually impaired, that's a spiral staircase going through the center of a round hole in the ceiling (and another in the roof), but the distance from the edge of the hole to ...

Astra's sister

In Episode 88679, I introduced a sister for Astra (following the suit of a Hindu name starting with A, I named her Agra). This was mainly to avoid having to think of names for the other children in her "class", or to have to look through all the threads for characters that could have conce...

Here's the thing: I know cookies are being saved, and I know it worked before, and I've checked, and apparently the edit option is gone after 12 hours (or some similar amount of time definitely shorter than 30 days), or once someone different than myself extends the episode. What I wanted to know he...

Frank's Threads

Hi! A couple of weeks ago I started expanding several threads rather quickly, probably driving you to question my sanity. I never properly introduced myself, nor explained what the heck I was doing, so I created this thread to inform you, and let you throw these kinds of questions at me, and (if you...

Maybe that's the ticket; I'm on what we call "the old computer" in my house, which means I use Internet Explorer 6 because the computer isn't compatible with anything else :(

However, it's strange that I had the edit option before, and now I don't

The "edit" option?

I was just wondering, what triggers the "edit" link at the bottom of an episode you posted? When I started writing last month, I didn't get it until the third day, or so. Then, I had trouble with my computer and had to clear my cookies and stuff. I logged into the forum, and posted some th...

Ironically, this would be useful to me, but most of it seems lost (the page linked from the way-back machine only stored the main page , and the direct links coming out of it; the list of characters being a third-level link) Does anyone know where I can find a backup? Alternatively, is anyone up to ...

Hey, I know this post is almost a year old (and the question, a decade old) but I haven't found any "inaccessible staircase" in my "playings" through the story. Do you think you could give the episode number?
