RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK ONE UPDATE, Chapters Sixteen - Nineteen
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK ONE UPDATE, Chapters Sixteen - Nineteen
In my on-going shameless attempt to maintain buzz about my new novel, RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, due out in stores and on-line on December 3rd, 2013 (but available for pre-order NOW on Amazon, etc.), I'm updating you on my progress proofreading the proofs of the book. (Yes, it's ridiculous, but I did use the word 'shameless' now, didn't I?)
This is a painstaking process. I'm going through each chapter sentence by sentence, trying to be careful with each word, each punctuation point.
Tonight, I finished proofing Chapters Sixteen through Nineteen, which means I finished, since the book has nineteen chapters.
Here are all the changes I've indicated in these last four chapters:
P. 169
In third paragraph, remove comma after "right waist gunner".
P. 170
In second full paragraph, change "Belle's" to "Belles". All italics. Plural, not possessive.
P. 176
In sixth full paragraph, change "Belle's" to "Belle's", taking the italics off the "'s".
P. 181
In first paragraph, change "Sam" to Sam's".
P. 201
In chapter title, change "Bontemps Rouler" to "bontemps rouler".
Admit it. You're intrigued.

Hello Greg, I have a couple of questions.
1.As a creator and producer of Young Justice when it comes to the "looks" of the characters when they are going to be designed, do you take in consideration something like: "They most make the fangirls get a heart attack". Or they are just designed and see if they get fans by themselves (history, past, actitud, etc).
2.Righ now, the series it´s no over yet, we are all specting a Season 3, so most of our questions may be a Spoiler Request. But if theres no season 3, those question are gonna be answered or are gonna be let to speculation?
3.How those it feels to see all the reactions that a series you produce cause to the fandom? (Im sure it´s somehow funny)
Greg responds...
1. Well, this is probably a better question for Phil Bourassa and/or Brandon Vietti, but since it's kind or rhetorical anyway, I won't sweat it. Obviously, we wanted the characters to be attractive in their way, while still being as true as possible to what made them iconic in the first place.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
3. It's a mix. I just saw a review that made me want to slit my throat. (Or maybe the reviewers'.) But on the other hand, we get a lot of great positive feedback that's very gratifying.

Has my dad been an alien this entire time? Because, to be honest, that would explain some things...

How does wonder woman still keep her immortal life? Does she live on paradise island
Greg responds...
I'm not clear what you mean by "immortal life"...?
Why was Wally denying magic so much in denial? writes...
Okay, I'm really sorry for asking you this old question from a old episode, but this kinda bugged me when re watching the series xD.
I realize Wally is a man of science, but considering Zatara, someone apart of the Justice League is a magic user, why didn't he believe in magic?
Greg responds...
I think he explained that effectively in the episode. I have nothing to add, except to contrast how he was feeling at the beginning with how he was feeling about it at the end - when (despite what he said aloud to cover) he had clearly had a change of heart about the whole thing.

In the episode Cornered, it was April 1. You have previously mentioned that this was the day the Graysons died. A huge number of Grayson fans were hoping to see some anniversary-related footage. What made you decide not to show it/hint at it? In comic books, Batman/Nightwing take the anniversaries of their families' deaths very seriously and still show sadness about it. I get that you'll probably say that Dick mourned off screen/that there isn't time to show everything, but I'd like to ask if Wally or anyone else contacted him/comforted Dick. You'd be helping a lot of fangirls out by answering ;) Thanks for an amazing show.
Greg responds...
As you noted, there wasn't room to do justice to such a HUGE topic in the episode, so we decided to leave that to your imaginations.

Hi, greg
Why did the reach chose to use young people such as teenagers for their experiments over the meta-gene?
Greg responds...
Couple reasons:
1. Runaways wouldn't be missed.
2. A certain biological elasticity that comes with not being fully grown yet.

Dear Greg,
Took me a while to get to the newest episode of YJ, and again, wonderful job. Your Despero was certainly different from most versions I've seen, and I gotta say, I liked it. Also, I enjoyed L-Ron, Virgil displaying powers, and Mal becoming Guardian. However, my favorite part was Billy trying to fry Despero with the lightning and failing. I've seen that trick used everywhere since "Kingdom Come", and it's nice to see it not work on someone for a change. I'm also liking how The Reach are using all the League's secrets against them. I also like the implications that Conner & Megan might reconcile. Looking forward to the next episode!
Greg responds...
I don't think there was ANYTHING in "Cornered" to suggest reconciliation. Just knowledge that comes from them having been together for a long time and knowing each other very well.
But I'm glad you liked the episode.

I've been going over some questions and it seems to me that it can be really irritating answering them sometimes. So this isn't a question, just a huge thank you and I really enjoy all the effort that's been put into the show. I've never seen anything like it, it's amazing!
Thank you!
Greg responds...
Thank you!
(Which show?)

I am writing an article about unproduced television spin-offs that found new life elsewhere, and Bad Guys was one of the first to come to mind. The website I'm pitching the article to requires that all source material be citable.
1. Is there any citable reference regarding Bad Guys, particularly when you were first planning it as a television spin-off and the plans fell through?
2. If not, are you able/willing to give an interview over the phone if requested?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Greg responds...
Well, you can start by looking at the ASK GREG archives under Bad Guys or the various Redemption categories:
http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/archives.php
If you still want a phone interview, you can contact the site administrator, Gorebash, and give him your contact information and your credentials, and he'll pass them onto me. And I'll try and figure out if you're legit. (Though the fact that you didn't even look at the archives before posting doesn't bode well, frankly.)
And of course, since it's been nearly three months since you posted this, the whole thing may be moot by now. So it's all up to you.
