[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 2387795, member: 225"] I just looked at the second set of pics... Thank you, BSF, for putting me in the first match. :) These picctures are all very evocative, but I'm not sure they evoke a consistent narrative. Wow. Great pics, anyhow. I'm looking forward to see what RangerWickett and reveal do with it. Now, I know Eeralai has asked me about it, and maybe somebody else is interested, so here's what I had in mind for the continuing saga of Cassandra Morgan: [sblock]Part of the problem of using these ideas, I'm sad to say, resulted from the long time between photos.
