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? |
