Well... I feel great! Several points here... 1- I shall no longer use the "*" moniker. Now I'll be called * "*”. That is, in place of *, what I'll be using now for my individual work, on * and elsewhere. 2- I shall keep posting individually, on my own, under the new alias. 3- I'd also like to collaborate with other * of the * team (which I've already done before), besides my solo work AND besides our joint duo work. Which takes me to...4- I'm ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED BY YOUR IDEA. That hadn't ocurred to me... It's brilliant... WE HAVE TO CREATE THAT 3RD CHARACTER. 5- Now the technicalities. I don't know where you got the idea from, but I'm not technically skilled at all, whatever that means. But, to create that new joint character what we need, I think, is: a/ finding a name for it. I suggest that you do that - you have a gift for naming characters. b/ creating an email account for it, and then create a new blogger account using that. If we both know the address and password we can have access to both the blogger account and the email. Or, if all this creates privacy issues (you know, telling passwords via mail, and all that, I don't know if that would be safe) one of us creates the account and then invites the other as contributor so he can edit or whatever... but in order to have the new character, we need a new blogger account to its name, so we can post under that name. I suggest that I may take care of this, once you've come up with the characters' name. Tell me what option you prefer. c/ so, now our character has a blogger account. Now, in order to post on *, we must tell * about all this so we can have our new character join *. The new character gets an invite and joins. Then we are able to either edit our joint entries there, or via email, wherever, and post there (whoever has the password starts the entry under the character's name, then anyone can post it when we decide it's ready).I think that's it. I don't know if my explanations are clear enough but it's all quite simple, really. 6- I would really like you to keep the * persona operative on *. I love it, what it gives to the site, I think it's a very strong presence, a great contribution. But if you want to drop it and just post under our joint name there it's all fine by me, that's your choice. I've seen that you're continuing to post on the "*" front. That's great! I appreciate that a lot. So, I think that's all from me for the time being. I hope this is gonna turn out allright and that this new adventure will be fruitful and make us all have some good times. It's promising. I'll do my best. Please reply as soon as possible, tell me what you think about all this - and if you want to, you can pick the name up already!! I'm eager to start the process. Best wishes* a.k.a. * (formerly know as *) p.s: please call me *, that's my "real" name (i'm a human being of *). Or anyway you fancy, just as long as I know it's me you're calling! >From: "*" <> >To: "*" <*>>Subject: Re: ch-ch-changes >Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 21:44:13 +0100 > >*, please call me *.> >To be honest with you, I've never really had a plan regarding * - >my contribution to it, how I would contribute.

I've sent you a message from the new account. Everything set up'n'ready. oh, I thought you, knew... I'm from *, on the * coast. yeah, maybe i seem to be secretive... i'm not, really, but information will keep coming naturally, bit by bit, i'm not getting everybody bored by telling everything at once then having nothing to say!I don't mind cracking some eggs, man... what's the worst that could happen? getting smeared? (is that a word). In fact, I thought it (the pic) was completely *, that's why i asked you. If you wanna keep it like that, fine, if you wanna try going sometwhere else, even better, that's the point, isn't it? Make more if you want to, by all means - we'll start a family album. Now I have started putting my hands on clumsy pic manipulation on that pic, see? i hadn't done much before. Soon i'll start to intruduce texts - be it remixed from *, as we said, or culled from elsewhere... I'll see. see what shapes we introduce in the work in process or PROCESS WITHOUT A WORK TERATOLOGISTS blog as scrap archive... I think that's the best idea, yes. Viewable by all, that's what i'd prefer. Ok keep in touch >From: "*" <>>To: "*" <*> >Subject: Re: let it begin >Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 10:47:01 +0100> >'Stunt blog' I like.

Thee happy couple. honeymoon attempt. love'm candid faces. i'll send some little variations on the blog, as drafts, but not publish'em for now, see what you think. if you like'm, press publish button, re-do entry, whatevs. this one i love - very *-like good, but you gotta decide how close you want your personalities to be. Do you want to publish on teratologists or just keep it as a stunt blog, or delete it if we join *?

This is potentially very interesting. I'll post the mails by all means. Best wishes, * SURE. I' VE ALREADY FIGURED OUT THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO OPERATE. ONE THING... CAN WE KEEP EVERYTHING? I MEAN, IF YOU MAKE CHANGES ON SOMETHING I'VE DONE, YOU DON'T ERASE WHAT I DID, BUT KEEP IT AND POST THE NEW VERSION, THE ALTERATION, EDIT, ETC. ON A NEW ENTRY, SO THAT WE HAVE ALL THE VERSIONS VISIBLE? (and the other way 'round, of cours, if i edit you...) I WOULD LOVE THAT. AND ANOTHER THING...WE ARE GONNA POST THE EMAILS, AREN'T WE?
