[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 219948, member: 102"] Hi [USER=130]@stevew[/USER], I have a few questions before I begin reading: This thread "Could There Be Another Continuation" was preceded by another thread of yours titled "My Ultimate Continuation Idea." Do I need to read the that one before I read this one so I'll understand it, or are the two threads two entirely separate ideas for a continuation? I had just started reading and noticed that you describe every character as having the role of another character. For example, you wrote: "J. Paul Wendell - in Cliff’s role." I was wondering, when you create a new character, do you write every new character by modeling its personality on that of an already existing character? Is that a stylistic choice, that they're written to resemble a previous character, or is that only a description to give us a general idea of what that new character's personality is like? In the case of a character we already know, like Sue Ellen, it says "Sue Ellen Ewing - in Jock's role." I'm guessing there must be a specific reason why Sue Ellen is in Jock's role instead of Sue Ellen in Sue Ellen's role, but I don't know what it might be. Could you explain that? I had just started reading this and when I saw that after every character it says in the role of (another character), I decided it would be better if I go into it knowing your intention behind that way of introducing them.
