So out of curiosity to spur some kind of interest or discussion until (or if) Seuzz returns, what are some branches that you like or felt were too short, stopped before they really got off the ground, etc. Same with characters. Any specific ones you like that haven't really gotten much time dedicated to them?

Personally, speaking for things I myself have wrote, something spinning out of "Where the Heart Is"  is one I've somewhat wanted to do since Will's mother (in comparison to his father or even brother) is a comparatively underused character and I don't believe has ever been impersonated. Likewise, Caleb's mother has barely even appeared. But I was always stymied in coming up with a real plot for afterwards.

Eastman always feels like a hard place to get to and when I'm there I always have a feeling of "what now". Plus it puts Will (and possibly others) closer to Local Fun Ruiners Frank and Joe. Schuyler and Agape seem even harder both to get to and to think up interesting plots for.

There's honestly way too many characters I'd like to take a stab at but it's always a case of "how" and/or "what then" for them. Victoria Rodriguez is one of the top ones but there are a lot of others as well. The Freshman and Junior classes are both largely underexplored for example. The soccer team is obviously fertile ground but it feels like things always default to "impersonate Hannah". And I wouldn't say she's underused because she's a central character of one of the biggest event hubs in BoM but Lindsay Cho is one of my absolute favorite characters so I feel that she might fall into underrated. Evie and Melanie feel more underused. Evie especially as she felt like more of a macguffin in that area. With Melanie, I some times wonder if putting her in a different school made her a little harder to use.
