I feel as though I've missed two or three seasons of Barbelith. Would any of you care to update me on plot points that I may have missed, new characters, and major changes to old mainstays?

I now have a face full of stars and am called Ian.

Hang on. Ion. Ion. That's right. Yes.

It all went to shit after you left, basically.

My highlight of Barbelith over the last year was a whole bunch of wonderful people from this site helping Dan and I put on a gig with Melt Banana, Hunting Lodge, Big Joan and Sodding Wolf's Head in my home town.

My write up of it (and the thead that started it) can be read here. It was possibly the best night of my life (so far) and probably couldn't have happened without the support of the amazing people on this site. For me it was Barbelith at its best.

K9 has fallen in the sea at Brighton at the behest of John Sodding Nathan Urquhart Turner McNastypants. He will be back though.

Creampie. In the eye. The private eye.

You used to be so innocent, Legba.

In the past fiff-teee-tuuuu weeks, I've undergone multiple character rewrites in a futile attempt to satisfy two groups of fans who both want a very different kind of Flyboy: those who like it when I'm a reasonable, compassionate, essentially decent member of the community, and those who'd rather I was a slathering "PC" attack dog. Now I find myself rather implausibly playing the role of nightclub impressario. Will this take off as a bold new direction for my character, or whether the reset button will be pushed and my stories will become simultaneously both more domestic and more angst-filled remains to be seen.

Some of us are concerned that Flyboy's new sleazy nightclub persona might lead to storylines that would be inappropriate for all-ages material, and are clamoring for a return to Silver Age values.

We did decide that 'social darwinism' was probably not a good thing though.

The ropebridge collapsed and we were left DANGLING OVER A RAVINE

Some people started some threads. Some other people replied to them.

Ah, memories.

Were there any major crossovers or event storylines?
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
01:39 / 25.06.06
Also, were there any shocking revelations?

There is an upcoming reveal that I am a genius pigeon called Bob. The network thinks it might be a bit risky but the writers are really pushing it.

The Purple Girl joined. It's generally agreed that that was when it all went a bit shit.

My goateed evil twin reaked diabolical havoc while the world waited with baited breath to see who was the father of my child. But it was all a dream.

We booted out some people, we let some people in. Some people complained about other people, and some people huggled others. Just another day.

I liked the choclate cake best at that party. The sexy chocolate cake.

Nah, that was rub. Pin The Tail On The Sexy Donkey, however...

I had to excuse myself before Postman's Cock, though.

i'm surprised that no one has mentioned that time when Nancy Reagan showed up and taught us all to "just say no" to huggles, and then the station manager from WKRP showed up and tried to show me dirty pictures. It was a Very Special Barbelith.

With no theme music over the end credits to emphasize the drama, of course.

The Music forum fell into a coma, and when it woke up it was played by a different actor! I mean, like we wouldn't notice...

The dialogue suffered after Sorkin left, and the Switchboard had to be cancelled and re-solicited.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
17:58 / 25.06.06
The old Switchboard still exists, though, but only in the form of fanfic. Some of which is a little, well, saucy, to say the least.
 
 
Essential Dazzler
18:29 / 25.06.06
I don't think we're allowed to talk about that, I'm pretty sure Ms. Chakrabati still plans to sue.

I'm sure the switchboard is not the only repository of saucy Chakrabati fan-fic...

We've all heard about Sax's My Documents.

Things started to go downhill with the TV movie. Don't even mention the casting. Russ Abbot huggling chills me to this day.

Did anybody die?

Did anyone who died come back to life not long afterward?

Flux you might want to read this thread.

Oh man, I wasn't expecting that. Poor Cop Killer. I remember liking that guy.
