Seems there is something for everyone in Autumn Bay!
(Personally, I recently realized that, aside from Felicia of course, I have grown quite fond of Detective Paige Logan - but that particular case may have more to do with me projecting a personality on a character who so far hasn't seen much development in AB proper.)

@ Micro: We certainly try to provide somthing for everyone. Autumn Bay is a city of a million people (counting its suburbs), and inside every single one of those people is a story.
Or, to quote one of our personal heroes (and arguably the master storyteller of our age):
"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”
- Neil Gaiman
Now, about Detective Logan, a fun fact: she used to be pretty much a Mercy Black clone, only before there was Mercy. These days, she's more straight-laced (not totally - she still drinks a good amount). I really like what I've seen from your end regarding her portrayal. :)

@ lirv: It does my heart a WORLD of good to see what people do with our characters (especially when they take them into angles and situations that never even occured to me).
It also does me a lot of good to see that particular mantle passed around. It would be easy for it to default to, say, Mercy, but it tells me we are doing something right if anyone else is fair game.

If you are playing around in the background of stories told by the Gentleman from Providence, you've got two choices. Either you pretend his stories don't exist, or you acknowledge them and say that what he was writing had at least some basis in fact. We choose the latter.
I'm glad you like the idea! :)

This first page is a bit of backstory (told by Stilldown's character Ariane Eldar) concerning the Whateley family. It gets a little more personal later on.
(You can read Lovecraft's depiction of the event here.)
