I think that you can kill main characters in a single story would not be a real problem. But you would have difficulties for writing sequels if you do that in a story belonging to a season.

That's very true. I had that trouble in "The Earth Moved" series, where Chris and Michael both got killed off and Callahan ended up in prison. For the sequels, kept having to go back to the original to remind myself of Oscar's (new) secretary's name!

Should I understand that the bullet which hit Mark's ankle in "Paradise" should have touched Rudy instead.... ? 3weazh
Or a new heart attack... 3weazh

Thought about both. Actually originally intended to kill him (of a heart attack) when he had the first cardiac incident in Doubts, Danger and Decisions. Just cannot do it.

Today, I was thinking about your story "malfunctions" and I thought that if Rudy listened to Steve and pulled aside Michael, it doesn't fit with Rudy's idea to have someboby for the bionic duo if something happened to him after his first cardiac alert.

And you raise again precisely today the subject of Rudy's death. What a coincidence! (Doesn't sound good for Rudy...seems that his heart could have malfuctions too...)

You're very right. Except for Steve (who is trained to do minor, simple bionic repairs), Michael is the only one - other than Rudy, of course - who has performed bionic surgery on his own.

All of the characters appreciate that, but does that mean there won't be a new chapter until the day after Christmas?!

And not on Valentines Day, either...but before and after that date, all bets are off!

Cruel, I tell you! Simply cruel! Off to look on the calendar for another holiday after Valentine's day to keep the main characters safe!

Don't think that even a holiday could convince your muse to let a character live if the EDPM is the muse in charge!
