Then and now.

[demiurgent]

Thirteen years ago, I could cheerfully write any Superguy story I wanted, asserting the most banal bullshit and getting things wrong gleefully with a toss of my head and saying (in my best Ed Wood, Jr. voice) no one's going to pay attention to the little details.

Today, I work on a super hero story and have to stop and think oh shit. I have a throwaway sentence about close up magic. Now I have to buy and read seven books -- including books by Bill Severn and Penn & Teller.

I'm not sure I've gained anything.

I read that Andy Awesome was based on Andrew Goodwin...is that the same Andrew that is Burt Ward's manager? I also read on the net that most of the characters didn't know that they were characters...I was wondering if this was the case with Andy/Andrew.
