Come to think of it, I've never killed the Elgins either. They're usually on an around the world trip or something like that!

Tried a few times to work out a "Ground Control to Major Tom" type story for Steve, but it never came together.

I think I ran it past this forum (or was it the other one?) once - and the reaction was...not positive.
Still picturing it, though....possibly with Jaime called to the control room....

Huh. I don't remember that at all. I remember you contemplating the concept, but that was it. It would pain your S/J story devotees, no doubt.

Yes, I could see the Steve fans hating that, but it could still be a good story.

But maybe instead of Steve "floating in a tin can" at the end, they could.....Shut up, Beth - don't give away a potential plotline!

It all depends on the effect you want to have on your reader! If you kill certain characters (not naming any names, but I can think of three fairly sacred cows) you lose readers...right?

You've killed off one or two of those sacred cows, Messy. I guess it depends on the story. Sometimes the writer just wants have fun tossing off red herrings....heeheehee!

(But I think there might really be four sacred cows...)

I think I've only killed one of them, haven't I? Sorry about that. Of course, you've offed several yourself!

Yeah, the forth sacred cow... ;)

The fourth...the one I've never been able to kill...Rudy. And haven't you killed both Steve and Oscar?
