Wanted to politely answer earlier but because of the attitude...

First, Seuzz does that every now and then. Look at this very blog - he's been away for up to 6 months and has always returned. You can see each time he returns that he apologizes and explains the reasons why he's missing. Sometimes, he calls these breaks in advance; sometimes, like with life, he can't explain them. It has happened several times just during these past two years, it has happened before, and it'll happen again. And yes - we worry that something happens to him whenever he disappears without a trace, but all we can hope is that he's doing okay.

Second, as Prussian said, just because he skips a week doesn't mean the series is dead. Missing 76 days, mostly non-consecutive, out of 190 days is pretty laudable: you can't expect someone to update daily and keep it all by himself. He deserves a break, even if unannounced, to keep the story flowing.

Third, he's not the only one who posts in the series. There are a group of collaborators (myself included) that sometimes post things, but we all have our reasons not to post like crazy. Part of it is trying to keep quality control over what's posted here. There's a reason why the Interactive has had several prizes and mentions over the years. Even if something happens to him, the community will keep the series alive, one way or another.

So no - the series isn't dead, and saying "wrong" as if you knew more than us shows your ignorance. The interactive is quite large, so you can binge on one chapter per day until Seuzz returns - in case you want to refine or consolidate your thoughts on the story. Not going to ask you about what you've done on the rest of the year, 10 months and 20 days since you've been here, but I'm pretty sure you didn't spent it reading the Interactive in-depth, or else we would've heard of you by now. It's a community that's more active than you'd think, but not a terminally online one.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Messing Up My Writing Plans ...

No new chapter today. There might be one tomorrow, though.

Meanwhile ...

A day or two back I mentioned the current Spider-Man cartoon running on Disney XD. (It's called "Marvel's Spider-Man" and it is this one

.)

Anyway, after my initial, rather sniffy perusal of it, I did a slightly deeper dive and discovered that they are in the middle of adapting the "Superior Spider-Man" storyline from the comics a few years back, the one that transferred Dr. Octopus's mind into Peter Parker's body.

Oh, man. Obviously that's an idea that is totally in my wheelhouse.

Moreover (autobiographical confession coming), it was body-swaps with superheroes -- or evil clones, or shapeshifters; there's a whole repertoire out there -- that first twigged my interest in the TF thing. I always wanted to see the bad guys win in those scenarios.

So it's strange to say that I've never read the Superior Spider-Man storyline. Or not so strange, given that I'm not a major fan of contemporary comics, and the online summaries didn't make it sound that interesting.

But an animated version of the story, like the cartoons and shows of my youth? I guess I'm going to have to watch it.

Or write my own version.

Wait. What was that?

Okay, Season Two of the show ended on a cliffhanging teaser, with Doc Ock having just completed the transfer. Season Three isn't slated to start for two-and-a-half more months.

So that's 75 or so days for me to catch up on the series and the comic book storyline, digest them, and compose my own version of the upcoming season, before that actual version comes out. Seventy-five days for me to put myself in competition with a professional show by writing a version of what they're writing, before they have unveiled it to the world.

It would be a fun challenge, and though I had a plan for July and August, this would be a timely substitute.

So would there be any interest in these parts for seeing me tackle a multi-part story, in script form, anticipating Season Three of "Marvel Spider-Man," and posting the results?
