I’m not cross-posting this, so probably no one will see it besides the bots and me. But I guess I just want a historical record, or something. In my last post I mentioned a new Black Flag story. How many Black Flag stories does that make? Well, I guess it depends on how you count them, but here is the run-down of the Black Flag stories my backbrain has ‘discovered’ so far.
1: Flag in Flames (the original, starring Bonnie Anne, Silver and Blood)
Pirate’s Grace (Non main-line story immediately following 1. Starring Grace, a ‘walk-on’ in 1 never mentioned by name.)
Mantis (Fairly main-line, but only a short.)
(As of yet unnamed possible comic/adventure series featuring the “totally un-canon” adventures of the Talon Five.)
Space Spawn (Non main-line story starting just before 2 starts, starring the daughter of a minor character from 1.)
2: Blood Price (Bellamie’s Story.)
3: Dominion (Turner’s Story.)
4: Ghost in the Clockwork (Ghost’s Story.)
5: Soul of a Talon (Morgan’s Story.)
(May possibly need something here to complete 4?)
(Possible spin-off drama/adventure series about Morgan and Kidd.)
6: Beyond the Deep (Lock’s Story. Also Bator.)
7: Child of Terror (Jinsun’s Story.)
8: Crimson Seas (Toralyn’s Story)
9: (Arouj and Kheyr’s story.)
10: (G’s Younger Son’s story — thus implying that there is an older son who might also have a story.)
I also have had some interest expressed in Moracey Talon, and he is one of my favorite characters, and I certainly have enough story material to work with… BUT, if I tell a prequel story about him, I don’t know how I could give it a happy, or even generally trending upward, ending. Sigh.
Message to backbrain: I really wouldn’t mind, really I wouldn’t, if this list did not get any longer between now and the release of the first story. Couldn’t you put in some work on Sails of Everwind instead? I am a third of the way through writing that one and I still have only the vaguest of clues as to what is going on.
