BoM/TWS Message Forum

So in today's contribution to "Student Bodies" -- "Gossip Girl"  -- Will Prescott gets mentioned. Well, turnabout is fair play, as David makes a cameo in "Book of Masks."

This does raise the question of overlap between them.

In BoM the overlap is straightforward: There isn't any. Obviously there isn't, if David is still at EHS and hasn't been transformed into a puddle of blue, body-possessing goo. But what about going the other way?

My personal preference is they not overlap in Student Bodies either: no masks, no Stellae, no Fane, no magic. David is over-powered already (that's one reason I find it so hard to write anything for SB), and adding masks and magic wouldn't add anything. They would be easy for him to sidestep if used by antagonists, and would make him {i]even moar OP if he got his hands on them.

But I'm reluctant to impose a rule without tossing it out to contributors to discuss.

I mention this now because I have now inserted Will into SB**, so it's now become a live issue. There are other characters that would be even more relevant in terms of continuity, which is why I'm going to mention them now: Sean and Taylor Mitchell. If SB and BoM are separate continuities, then Taylor should still be alive, and both brothers should be at EHS.

** And if inserting Will is going to cause continuity questions, why do it? Because I thought it would be fun to glimpse Will from an objective POV.
