Notes on Malphas: The Enemy of Mine Enemy

The original post --read it first.

You know, I find it a bit comical how hard we're trying to keep secrets from each other rather than keeping secrets from our general audience.
But I know I know, we don't have a huge audience (though we do have some that read), and it's more fun when we can do some under-the-table dealing. That's all cool.

That said though, umm… those involved in the development of the plot (finally! my thirst for development is being sated!) will have to be the ones to tell you uninformed folks about it as they write.
As I understand, Michael has been given the "privilege" as it were to take the next big step in story progression. I maybe wrong, but that seems to be the next "checkpoint."
Until then, perhaps you writers who will be writing before him have something in mind already. If not, and everyone is okay with it (speak up if you're not, of course), the conversation/planning/preparation phases for a potential danger could be a cool place to start. Talk to some people and get the prep/suspicion/plans going. That way we don't have to do all that AFTER Michael posts.
And hey, if you want me to be a part, I'm happy for Malphas to start some conversations about the Books or the history of the island or anything else. Don't forget that no one has visited many of the island's locations yet (at least not to a significant degree)! The town, the fishing island, the hermit's shack… those could all be worth spending some time around. Maybe. If you want.

Also, Malphas has a sister! Duh! So, uh, that's neat.
Maybe she'll affect you, maybe she won't. I think it's fun at least (as do at least one other writer), so that's why she's there. Though, it's not backstory! There will be no long story tellings or flashbacks. It's all forward-story, so that should be fun!

Okay, enough drivel. There's not much else to comment on this one, I don't think. Nice and straightforward, it would seem.
