...but at least I've become less stalled on the
trekreversebang. I finally have a decent visual idea -- unfortunately also somewhat complicated and I'll likely need to draw it at least on A3, but I like it, so I'll give it a try -- and I think it has good potential to inspire a story. I mean, I just got this image in my mind and no idea what its story could be, but the details would be the author's problem after all. And I think it suggests a narrative and makes you curious. I drew a couple of tiny first thumbnails while I was on the bus, and at least I have a starting point now. Good thing too, with the deadline for the first versions for the authors to pick from looming ever closer. *meep*
Speaking of buses, apparently part of my city's public transport network is on strike. I'm somewhat confused because only some of the buses are not running. From what I gather it is because the part of the combined city network on strike is the one operated by a bus company that technically is a network in one of the neighboring states. But they don't just run lines in the suburbs there, but some of their lines go all through the city. (I guess they connect with their core area somehow, I have no idea.) And it is not that I don't understand their strike (they earn significantly less a month than the bus drivers of all the other networks servicing the city and want the same pay), but normally you never notice which line is operated by which network. At least the bus I use most is unaffected.
