Aah! Thank you for saying that (as I do a page of mostly scribbles and bloom…)! I can't really see my own art, like, objectively evaluate it, so it's really nice to hear this!



Hi Jeff! Welcome to the PTP! Thank you for reading and, if I'm being honest, it terrifies me too at times!

As to your question, James is right. B3, and subsequent Bina's, had a lot of time to figure this stuff out, though how B3 created her first time machine is something we haven't touched on yet.

We might! Stay tuned.



I like this question. I have answered it before, but my perspective on this keeps changing over time, so I think it's something I should keep answering as it shows up.

The short answer is that I pick the suggestion that I think is best for the adventure. Not best for the story, I've picked numerous suggestions in the past that have slowed things down or bypassed scenes that I thought were important, and I've picked things that move too fast or too slow or ignore what I consider to be the more dramatic choice.

I picked them because they were best for the adventure as a whole, not just for the story. What makes a comment 'best for the adventure'? It depends. Sometimes it's a suggestion for a perspective I didn't anticipate or an action I found interesting, sometimes it's a clever turn of phrase or a funny idea, sometimes it's just 'Can I afford to draw this tonight?', that last one being way more common then I'd like to admit.

Sometimes it is picking the suggestion that matches what I think should happen next… but that's not what happened here. In my original conception of this scene, they got away clean. You were not the only person to suggest that a Naught should come along, but on the day where I had to make that that decision, you had the best suggestion.

The decision though was mine. I could have ignored your suggestion, and I would have, if I didn't think it was a good idea.

So it goes… :)
