And considering Ardra isn't much of a singer, I doubt if she'd WANT to break into song, anyway.
I want to take her to a Karaoke bar and get her some drinks... then push her on stage

Why don't you just make your own Reaper? I'm not sure how to deal with the appearance of Jack earlier on, but it seems to me that using a new character would be better than using someone else's character. Cameos are one thing; integrating someone else's character into your comic as a canon character is quite another, and I don't think it would be a good idea to do something like that without permission from the character's owner.
It is one of the considerations, to make my own reaper.
Like I said, I had permission to use Jack before... but I doubt I can really use Jack for the future plans I have as it kinda does detract from JACK's afterlife model too much. So devising how to explain Jack is something I have several ideas for.... and I have a new reaper design in mind.
ASSIDE from discussing the Reaper (which can stay in this current thread), any additional discussion of outside characters can be found here:
Designing the P.S.I. World (Part 2: Outside Characters)
EDIT: also, it should be mentioned that "P.S.I.: The Webcomic", will never be printed..... so other characters are not so much of a concern for that... however... that does not mean that there won't be any "P.S.I.: Print Adventures".

**** SPOILER ALERT!!! ****
*** Well, MINOR spoilers... but nothing too bad, really... Mostly behind the scenes stuff.****
From the Designing the P.S.I. World (Part 1: The World):
Also, as far as Anissa, I actually also had permission to use her as well She is still supposed to come into play in PSI at some point.. but for how much, I am not certain.
Same goes for Lucy. I had permission for that. If I use her again, it will be related to the original webcomic version of her, not the new to-be-printed version. I'm sure Mat won't mind as long as I use her properly... as Lucy coming back in the future of PSI is just as determinable as Anissa is.
There have been several other cameos that lasted no more than a page or so. These characters don't really matter a whole lot... even if they break some rules... because they are cameos, they don't have to follow the rules.
Sometimes I've had "Extended Cameos" (such as Lucy), These kinda go hand-in-hand with the whole "Alternate version" thing. If some recal the graveyard, I had a couple of ghost characters from other webcomics. They were extended cameos, but really don't relate directly to their original webcomics at all. However, the reader just need to know that there are ghosts, and who specifically they are and what they do, are not that important to the PSI story.
"Extended Cameos" such as Lucy, will get a spot on the cast page, because they are somewhat imprtant or involved with the comic and/or characters... However, it may not be anything more than a simple avatar.
Then I have Crossover characters. The first was Combo, that bunny from Floppity. This was canon for both comics. Other crossovers may not be canon for them, but they were for PSI... thus these crossover characters get a spot on my cast page, with full description, as these are important characters, relative to the comic and story.
Although... simple crossovers that are very short stints (almost simple cameo-like) will probably not get cast page mentions.

Jenny Everywhere: The Shifter Archive / Jenny Everywhere Day?
March 22, 2009, 03:33:28 PM
It had been suggested to me that there should be a "Jenny Everywhere Day" of sorts.
Now, each year that I have had The Shifter Archive going (started late summer of 2007, officially launched in October 2007), I've tried to do some sort of event. In 2007, it was a "make a strip" contest that didn't go to plan, but got a number of entries (several entries were art or single panels, aka, NOT "strips"). In 2008, it was a contest to become one of the THREE official Jenny Everywhere cards for a Webcomic Trading Card Game.
And in 2009? Who knows.... we'll see.
But what about doing something for Jenny' Birthday?
Benj Christensen e-mailed me about the potential for a "Jenny Everywhere Day". Upon research, it was decided that Jenny's "birth" would be when the first images of her were released, as well as a general description of her. This was posted by "Moriarty" or "Steven Wintle" of course (as he was the person who pioneered her concept on the Barbelith.com forums), on August 13th, 2001 here:
http://www.barbelith.com/topic.php?id=3026#post46584
There were ideas and discussion that followed about "The Shifter", including her final name, that were being discussed, but that took a while and had much gray area on when and how she was finalized as a character... but look at her again... She never is TRULY finalized... as she is an idea open to interpretation and multiple versions.... well after her first adventure (i believe) in Names Not Down.
So going from her original sketch, design, and basic description, of which all future incarnations are more or less based on, we decided that August 13th, 2001 is her birthday, along with what we'll call "Jenny Everywhere Day"... or something else if anyone can think of something better
So, in any case, any ideas on thinking about what to do this year?

Ardra / Re: [3/20/2009] A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, Or Maybe Its A Cry For Help

This Dizzy Channel? Why not just call it the Disney Channel?
This isn't a hint that Ardra was drinking, is it? I guess you just really wanted that dream reference.
Even stranger, Ardra watches TV, and watches popular stations?
In the last two panels, Ardra is first smiling as if she enjoyed the dream, then stern and annoyed.
Telling Lenore never to break out into song and dance will some day come back to haunt Ardra. Maybe Ardra will have to do it instead?
Well,
(1) Copyright issues and potential lawsuits, as said company is known for... even against the little guys.
(2) "Dizzyland" is already refered to in a previous arc.
(3) "Dizzy" pretty much sums up what we think about suggested company, in trying to wrap our heads around the atrocious piles of filth that come out of it's productions.
Also, no, She wasn't drinking, she just spaced out and fell asleep... I'm willing to bet it's stress related.... Given the previous arc, you can actually read into a few things if you care to.
Of course, I'm just script editor, and idea helper... To get the real scoop, Jason would have to say, pending any spoilers

I don't see why you can't use Jack as is...unless his creator has an issue with it. Same with any other cameo'd/crossovered character.
I could, and I did have permission from David Hopkins to use Jack in the sequence that I had him.... but the thing is... the afterlife may come into play down the road... which means I'll need a viable Reaper and afterlife mechanism, ruleset, etc.... especially since I'll be touching on the "religion", so-to-speak, of the PSI world... And I use "religion" VERY lightly... Without giving anything away... "Religion" is "faith-based"... PSI's world has actual evidence and recorded encounters of meeting the Earth's Goddess....... Believe it or not, all in a non-preachy, non-religuiousy way... Kinda like most "Fantasy" comics that borrow from Lord of the Rings or World of Warcraft, etc... Where its just a matter of fact of how things are.

P.S.I.: A Pessimistic Sense of Inadequacy / Re: Designing the P.S.I. World
March 21, 2009, 02:00:47 PM
Such as Jack, from JACK, as the world's Reaper....
While originally going to be the world's reaper, using Jack more or less ties the world's afterlife to the afterlife of JACK.... which isn't 100% Christian or such, but is structured in very much a "Heaven/Hell, God/Devil" kinda of way, with a complete rule-set for it's workings.... also, in a way, it *may* also tie into Jack's universe, where humans used to live, Furs were originally genetically created, and are now the only living sentient on the planet.
This presents a problem for PSI... Cameos are one thing, but extended uses become staples.... like Anissa for example.
Anissa is from Two Way Mirror. This comic ALSO used Jack as the Reaper... however, the afterlife in Two Way Mirror is not necessarily the same as JACK. In fact, I think it is not... though some parts may be similar. Another note is that Two Way Mirror's world may or may not correlate to JACK's universe... as Two Way Mirror has Humans and Furs living together....
Since we do not know all of JACK's Human & Fur history, I can't say one way or another how closely related these two comics are... I also cannot say how closely related PSI's history matches with Two Way Mirror... since I do not know Two Way Mirror's evolution history.... I could ask the artist and writer that, but they've been out of action for a while.
In any case, I can easily say that the Anissa and Jack that I use are not cannon to their original comics... I can say that they are alternate versions.... almost that they are an alternate version meshed into one reality... Though, I could mostly say that PSI is based off an Alternate Two Way Mirror (that already had an Alternate Jack the Reaper).
PSI... WAS very much based off of Two Way Mirror's world.... however, PSI expands on it... Two Way Mirror does not talk about evolution, food sources, magick, or much of it's history... though magick DOES exist in Two Way Mirror.... however, it is very apparent that Two Way Mirror's world, and PSI's world are too different to be the same.... Thus, an Alternate Two Way Mirror.
So... for Timeline purposes, the alternate world of Two Way Mirror, happens in the PAST, compared to PSI... How much in the past? About 1-2 years after what would be Two Way Mirror's actual end, which would be when Anissa finishes college.
Perhaps confusing to some, but it works for me!
Then there is Jack. Should I continue to use him? Should I make a substitute? I have a few ideas... not sure what I'm gonna do just yet. It is possible that (1) he is merely going to be an "alternate" or Two Way Mirror's Jack... (2) I may come up with a new character, and work him into the story logically (enough), or (3) Go back and look at what happened with "Jack", and try to make it a "different" character without changing anything...
#3 is KINDA like #2... only it "technically" makes the reaper never "Jack" to begin with... and only that the "real" reaper was posing as him to be more intimidating...
I am leaning towards #3.
Well, any thoughts would be welcome!
