Switching Focus from Story to Character
(The image has nothing to do with this. After 20 minutes of searching, I picked a random thing in the Yahoo image search that made me smirk.) I’m not sure where the change happened with Legends of Windemere. Not with … Continue reading

The Benefits of a Mid or Late Series Detour Tale
For context, Dean dies repeatedly in that episode while the day repeats with only Sam knowing. There is an actual reason for that to happen, which is revealed at the end and I won’t spoil the fun. Seriously, it got … Continue reading

The Strange Before the Storm
I’ve mentioned a few times that Merchant of Nevra Coil (COMING IN AUGUST!) has a strange storyline for our heroes. I’ve called it silly, but that’s not right. It definitely has a different feel after the heaviness of The Compass … Continue reading

Powerful Characters with Restrained Personas
I’m not going to get into spoilers and share one of the few Legends of Windemere things that I’ve kept off my blog. The topic here is characters who are high-powered, but don’t use them to the fullest due to … Continue reading
