As things like this often do, there were some errors I made in Blood and Metal after I actually posted them, dealing with chara design, credits given, and what not. Being someone who wants to give a story that's as contunity sound as possible, I've given three of my seven chapters revisions that are listed below: 1) The entire story line will be re-titled, "Blood and Metal Alpha." This is because BAM will be a contuning story, and will be broken off into "books" denoted by greek letter (for now). BAM Beta will begin in December and will introduce a new "Wild Pack" chara, as well as a "Wild Pack" deiety who takes a liking to Mr. Crockett. 2) Davey was in error when he first saw Bear. To the normal Mobian, according to Daniel Davis' chara design, Bear (in fox mode) looks like an 25 year old brown fox. Davey looked in those Deep Blue pools that Bear has for eyes, and saw him as somewhat older, wiser, and grayer. It could be that Davey inadvertingly saw the Hermit side of Bear, but Davey doesn't know about the Hermit yat and wasn't sure; he just filed it away into cold storage for later. In BAM ALPHA, chapter II, I altered the storyline to include this scene and get Bear's description straight. 3) Also with Bear, in BAM ALPHA VII, I've got the credit wrong. Silly Phracking Me. So I corrected it. 4) I noticed that, in a still shot from the Saturday Cartoon Series, King Acorn is a fox! Since I wanted BAM to be the continuation of that series, I had to hake that adjustment. What I do with these revisions is place them in my WWW Page [http://users.aol.com/dgonterman] and put a blinking "Revised" next to them. I will also exit the Deluxe Editions accordingly, if Ratman will allow me to upload the corrected version of BAM ALPHA I DELUXE into his web page. I do not know if Tooner will let me replace the chapters in the Archives with these updated ones, but I'll assume that you have already got them all, and can just download the upgrade from my WWW Page. I also tried to answer, a little bit incorectly, about what the treated bodies from Davey's modified Roboticizer is made of.. Symon Kielb asked if they were organic. I answered that they were a Bio-Genetic Polly-Alloy. I got the Bio-Genetic right, but the new bodies are certainly not metallic, as "Polly- Alloy" would have you believe. This will teach me never to answer E-Mail at 11 P.M, trying to answer something I'm trying to figure out myself. What I wanted to say that the new flesh is not their original bodies, but artificially made from the Roboticizing over what is already Roboticized. That can be why Bunnie can switch from Flesh to Metal at will. Note to Detail Mongers: The modifications done to the Roboticizer had the Feedback Loop (Which occurs when Roboticizer meets Robot, as in Princess Sally #3) in mind and took steps to advoid it. How, I have no idea. Thank you for your cooperation as I give my stories some "Home Improvement"....har, har, har David Gonterman [dgonterman@aol.com] http://users.aol.com/dgonterman
