Re: BoM branch guides
If you delve into the Book of Masks Universe homepage and go to the “Abridged” entry, it has a full 90-odd chapter arc. But, even better, at the end there is a “further reading” section that offers some suggestions.

I admit I have not read all of the arcs; I find it easier to look at the ends and see if there are particular things I am interested in. I also tend to stick writing one arc.

My tip is to look at where you want to explore; others can then suggest their personal fave arcs. If you want to look beyond Westside the best options are:

* Eastman (which has a very different set of characters to Westside but the same social strata almost)
* Hollywood and the UK (this is the Stellae arc that grants Will power to take appearances without the masks)
* Fane (the bad guys! If you want the ‘evil Will’ path; there is also the ‘invasion of the evil golems’ line)
* Family drama (Nostrum’s recent work - go to his latest chapter and keep choosing go back to see the route. This line is largely outside Westside but features a lot of Blackwell and eventually Stellae and is excellent)
* St Francis Xavier School (new this year and something I have been working on - basically takes Will and puts him in the midst of poisonous rich kids. Also includes the Shelly Nolan arc, although I did not come up with that character)
