It's a disappointing thread, actually. It's desperately in need of new Vera stories to keep it alive. She's a liquid character (e-ink is kinda that way) and difficult to pin down. And we need your help to get it done! (Uncle Sam pointing at you)

well what are you waiting for, vr ??? i'm still on the edge of my seat from last episode !!

You should have been a cheerleader, Zee (were you?). Let me just say that it takes hours for me come up with even a few sentences. Patience, little one. Of course, it would help a bit if OTHERS WHO ARE EQUALLY OR PROBABLY EVEN MUCH MORE CAPABLE OF WRITING WOULD HELP BY CRAFTING AND ENLIGHTENING US WITH THEIR OWN VERA STORIES. I'm VR and I approve this message.

What the *beep* is a Vera story?

Unfortunately, Slite, I can only answer that by suggesting that you read the thread from the beginning. Sorry.

Ah... I see, very enlightning thread

And may i point out that it could be called an e-lector (from the latin word for reader) or maybe an i-lector to "Appleify" it

god no. you're joking, right ? i'm far too punkrock for anything like that. i'm just enthusiastic about things deserving of my enthusiasm. like The Ongoing Saga of Vera.

well i for one appreciate your efforts !! immensely !!! but you're right, i'd love to hear some continuations of the other stories as well. let's hope this thread will pick up if we keep it going !! (and perhaps we could nudge the other, ah, original contributors a bit...)

"unfortunately" ??? i would say "luckily for you" !! i envy anyone who is discovering this thread for the first time and has the joy of reading the entire thing ahead of them. the only thing better than that, would be participating in it from the beginning.

You do realise that, if you say that aloud and slightly slur it as you do, you're saying that you're Vera...

Actually, I rather like something incorporating "lector." (Though I'm still rather favoring "liseuse."

)

Actually, liseuse is quite nice, it would go over well in germany and sweden as well, in german it's lieser (If I remember my school-german correctly) and in sweish it's a läsare

Dunno what the spanish/portugise words for it are though.

Vera married Hannibal???? What was the wedding banquet? (Why is a scene from The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover going through my mind?)
