I like the idea of a demon-inspired Christmas.smiley - devil I'm one of those people who hates the waste - all that leftover smiley - mistletoesmiley - xmaspudsmiley - cracker

And I like Donaloca. The idea of being a truly horrible smiley - senior woman appeals to me. smiley - laugh

Thanks!

I'm hoping that I can flesh her out so she's more three-dimensional, though.

My story would be considered rubbishy by one of my high school English teachers, who insisted that it's a cop out to base your story on dreams.

A lot of people dislike Christmas. In future installments, there will be demons who go out into the world and arrange for people to *not* get the gifts they want. And other demons who encourage children to not respect their parents. That's two of the ten commandments broken already. smiley - ok

I've now loaded episodes #6 - 10 to this entry. Episode 11 has also been written, but I won't load it until I'm up to number 15.

Episodes 1-25 have been loaded so far. The story seems to tell itself. I hope it can end itself as well on the 30th smiley - winkeye

I've tried to think of back-stories for most of the characters. I had intended to give Sonia an interesting job in the arts, but Ralph's story arc hogged the limelight. At last there was enough of a lull to bring Sonia's work as a photographer's aide into the picture.

Tonight I will need to think of some interesting pun on some animal's name to use for a Christmas photo op. smiley - smiley

It's all done now.

I bowed to the fact that characters have a way of taking over a story and writing it themselves.

Anyway, I hope that you've enjoyed reading it. It was fun to write, though the last week was an anticlimax, since the article Ralph was supposed to write got submitted.
