NEQ general discussion, etc. (was: Jack's Sofa RIP?)
It would seem that Jack's Sofa has gone gently into that good night. Which is a pity: although it was kind of a mess to say the least, I had some good episodes over there, especially my branch of the Merlin's Quest thread. They seem to be lost beyond recovery.

That's a pity. I did look at it when it was first announced, but there wasn't much there then, and I never got around to going back.
I expect that you're already aware of the Doctor Who Extend-A-Story here: http://dweasff.blogspot.com/2010/06/story-begins.html. I had originally intended to contribute, but I found that the episodes already written required a greater in-depth knowledge of the show than I had. (Though I've seen almost every episode, I don't retain all that much in my memory.)

I also checked the Internet Archive, even though I never participated at Jack's Sofa. Years ago, I did read through a few story arcs to learn more about some of the main characters being used, but it doesn't look like there was a character guide linked.
So either those characters are lost forever, or perhaps I have a file somewhere on my computer where I jotted down some notes for, well, future use.
"Future use" being possibly integrating Jack's Sofa characters into the Never Ending Quest.

I've been thinking for a while of bringing my version of Merlin into NEQ, which would be pretty easy since he's a dimensional traveler. But while I remember the general plot details of that thread (IE, Jack is sent on a quest to another world to find the Ka of Merlin, then the Ka merges with him he discovers that in fact he is Merlin, and must travel across the multiverse to recover the rest of his soul) but there are a lot of specific details I can't remember. Probably they don't matter much, though.

I often do this, but somehow I didn't for this thread. To be honest I have far too many threads I've been involved in to keep track of them all. I could probably use to concentrate my energies more on a few at a time and stick with them longer. (I say this as I'm working on and off on extensions for about five different threads. There's no one else around at the moment to write more serious stories about Lord Fred, so I've got to make up for that somehow...

Ta! I'll fix that.
In similar vein, in your 90009, did you intend the repetition here: "In the flickering light of the torches all he could see of the three mages were their hands. One had the elegant hands of a noblewoman. One had the elegant hands of a noblewoman, with long fingers. And one had skin of a silvery hue."
Anyway I'm glad that the Red Hand is clearly an Equal Opportunities organisation - probably enough it itself to get it banned in Allaria!
I think I'll move this thread to the NEQ area, now that we're no longer talking about Jack's Sofa.
