| Here's a reminder that today's chapter—"Anne the Winner Is ..." —is interactive only because it is part of "Student Bodies" . There's a plot recap in the blog entry below. But I am also running a poll as part of the second commission I will be fulfilling. That commission is to continue a short branch that begins with "In Search of the Perfect Hiding Face" and continues down the line "The Assistant" --> "The Advisor" --> "Choosing Cinderella" . (These chapters were written by rugal and have just been added to the Archives.) Background: Will gave the book away to Caleb, but then got a frantic phone call from Chelsea Cooper on account of her boyfriend, Gordon Black, has used that book to accidentally petrify himself. Will has thereby recovered the book and studied the spells in it, and has used a mask of Chelsea to trap and replace her with a doppelganger. He has since gotten the idea to improve Westside by replacing key students with doppelgangers under his control while himself adopting a low-profile impersonation. The short branch above continues with Will replacing the gossipy Deanna Showalter with a duplicate and getting advice from her as to who he should impersonate. And this takes us to the poll, which goes with the choices at the end of the interactive chapter "Choosing Cinderella" .[Poll completed and deleted] will be open through Friday, July 29. Then will come a follow-up poll. * * * Meanwhile, what of those who read this stuff through the Archives because they don't want to fight their way through the WdC system? I've got some chapters for them, too. "Getting to Know All About You" --> "An Inside View" --> "Who Goes There?" are old entries in the "Book of Masks" interactive, but they may be new to readers of the Archives. There's more than thirty chapters in that branch, and during the time I'm posting new stuff in "Student Bodies," I will be posting those old BoM chapters, at the rate of about three a day, in the public Archives. I've got a bunch of unpublished sequel chapters in that line, so I'm doing "Student Bodies" I'll be getting the Archives caught up for when I get around to publishing those new chapters.So, what's the plot recap for this branch? Will and Caleb have been playing with the book and have made a mess of things. They accidentally made a mask of Gordon Black, the bad-tempered basketball player, after pissing off Gordon's girlfriend, and then when they tried to use that mask in another plot they accidentally revealed themselves to Gordon. to their astonishment, Gordon seems pretty cool with it all, and even wants to use the masks to switch identities. So for the next little while, Gordon is going to be playing the role of Will Prescott while Will plays the role of Gordon Black. Does that sound out of character for Gordon? Maybe it won't, after what Will finds out about Gordon and his life after he has become Gordon ... |
