Hi all!

Hi, George, and welcome.

     Another question: I am considering writing a BGC fanfic. While I have 
some idea of what the hero's will do, there are problems in developing their 
opposition. Are there any suggestions you can make?

	I won't bore you, and the rest of the list, with my account of 
why later BGC is comic-book bad, but I'd still like to make a 
suggestion.  You don't necessarily _have_ to have a BGC fic be yet 
another epic struggle between the wonderful, if somewhat spotty, KS 
versus the megalomanical greed-head bastard bad guy.  Check out how the 
baddies are deal with in some other fics -- one of my personal favorites 
is the epic-length (IMO) fanfic masterpiece bgc.crusade (which, like most 
of the others, can be found on ftp.std.com ... in case you don't know.)
	Enemies don't _have_ to be _external_, you know.  Some would 
contend that the KS (and particularly the vocal characters -- Priss and 
Sylia) are, and have been, their own worst enemies. 

(hopefully) food for thought.
