Okay, this topic is at the top. I have been too tired the last three days to find it, lol.
With all the threads about old stories, I thought maybe stickying new ones would be a good idea to make sure they don't drop out of the main page too soon. It doesn't seem to have worked as well as I'd like

Poor old Epimethious, I know I can't spell. I guess people can get used to just about anything. I kinda felt bad for him though.
Almost a year ago, I asked some of my beta guys and unofficial "continuity committee" how things should go for Professor Epimetheus and the Peoplebusters. They pretty much backed up the directions I'd already been thinking of going; I'd already started hatching a larger scheme because of "Flipped Out", so be assured that his story is far from over.
And of course having Ep be gone at the end actually plugs up some potential continuity holes--things like, why wasn't he seen or even mentioned when Egon got married? Now we know.
And remember: he chose this himself. My version of Professor Epimetheus is influenced by the Doctor, and he wasn't one to sit around in quiet retirement when people were needing help. That was the whole reason he left Gallifrey in the first place.

And when Peter said, "Braaaiiinnnss" I literally had to stop reading I was laughing so hard! So like Peter.
I got some compliments from one of the beta readers about Venkman's lines in this one. I dunno...maybe I have present day Venkman be a little more restrained, as he's got a wife and family. This Venkman is nominally involved with Dana, but she's off in LA so he's basically undomesticated at this point.

Thank you for finally completing this epic saga that has been left unfinished for so long.
You're quite welcome. I enjoyed the challenge. I tried to not get too deep into the broader GBOT continuity, other than Egon's flashback at the beginning of part 2 and some subtler mentions of things like
Legion, and RGB#25.

Way off topic, but my brain is strange--does the timeline have Janine's cousin in it from Now #28? Just curious.
ghostdiva
Yeah. She's mentioned in 1958, when Janine was born
Quote:
and a cousin named Michelle Jacobs (who by 1990 has a son, Alec)
RGB#28 is mentioned near the end of 1990/Year Eight.
And both Michelle and her son are mentioned in "Forever" They don't have any lines, but they're there.
