A little bit late, I know. I was just thinking about it today with Peggy's family all visiting for Thanksgiving. . . .
There are still a bunch of missing names, too. If I'd been smart, I'd've kept better notes.
Oh, also:
This is the link to the gDoc; if you are better at remembering people's names than I am, feel free to click on it and add them in. Hopefully, I'll put them in the blog post before too long.
Or you can just leave them in the comments, and I'll put them in.
Sheesh, I'm embarrassed. 'Drifting' only has five primary characters, and I can't even find the main POV's color scheme any more. Nice work.
Has anyone at all mentioned the odd little Sonny and Cher thing you threw in?
4398311
Well, with 800,000+ words, you'd expect there to be a bunch of characters. And they're not all primary characters, anyway.
4398324
A few people have noticed, but most haven't. It's not the only reference in character names, either.
Wow, what a cast of characters. I'm impressed. I know I'd have a hard time keeping it all straight.
Sonny and Cher? I was about 6 or 7 when the show was on the air so my memories of it are vague.
Well, you sure are trying to push the limits of Dunbar's Number, hm?
I should really start reading this. I've had it saved to my usb drive for ages.
Well, better late than never. (Speaking of which, I have about a week to catch up on. My usual Silver time's getting eaten up now that my job has me doing actual work.)
That is an adorable picture.

I skimmed through some of the chapters and I'm not sure if you ever gave them names.
Bill and Jo Harding? Is that a Twister reference?
Strange way to spell mare/coltfriend, or is this the spoilerfree edition?
4398393
That's part of the reason I needed a dramaturge
I was having trouble, too. Especially since I generally try to avoid having two people with the same name.
I never saw it, so I have no idea what it was all about.
4398440
Ponies probably have a higher Dunbar's Number. Well, maybe.
You might want to check and see if any new chapters have been added to your saved file. There could be some. . . .
4398520
At least I got it up before the end of the story, so that's something. And actual work sucks, at least from a free time standpoint.
4398570
Thanks! It's a commission piece, and I really like it. Been debating if I should change the cover art to that, actually.
I don't like changing cover art, because it might weird out a viewer who's used to seeing the regular picture in the feature box, y'know?
4398868
Thanks! Names added.
I am still missing the other people at the TV station, probably an SCA friend or two, and the people she met in Kansas and South Carolina. And for the life of me, I can't remember who Gusty's helpers are.
Also, the three professors you mentioned never did have names.
4398958
As a matter of fact, it is.
4399161
It's supposed to be the spoilerfree edition, for people who want to look at it as the story goes on or something like that.
4399272
Oh, I totally see it now! I wonder how I missed it. And do I take it this was unintentional? What a coincidence! I'll PM it to you if someone hasn't already. Hate to ruin the surprise for any other readers.
4399443
Oh, the names weren't unintentional. That was very much on purpose. I've just never seen the show, although I was quite aware of them as a musical duo.
4399456
Ah, duh. Of course. And now I just feel foalish. I blame my current lack of mental acuity on lack of sleep. I have no excuse of the rest of the time.
4399279
Cayenne: Miss Blaise and Mister Garvin
Missed 'r' in Garvin.
I searched through the whole story in Word for references to Gusty or her helpers and I don't think you ever wrote them down.
4399487
I did, once. I think. I may have only given a description. But I do remember looking for them.
It was probably Peter and Maggie . . . I think that was who I picked.
4399487
I think they met them at the train station on the way back from Spring Break, or else possibly out in California.
4399487
Oops, my bad--right couple, but they were Sunrise Song's helpers. Maybe I never did introduce Gusty's.
(It's in the Los Angeles chapter)
4399275 Yeah, that's true. Although, I have just started taking art classes. Of you want, I could probably draw you something?
Everytime I see an update, no matter where I am, I cry inside and my face saddens.
A story I didn't intend to ever read became a part of my life and I know that she's going to have to stop writing in her journal, as we all do, but I wish I could follow her life and the lives of other exchange students as time goes on.
I'm not ready to say goodbye to her...
4399272
As if that'll matter for the first... week of reading
How did I miss this post? Best Silver art yet! :D
4400029
If you're inspired, sure! Art is always appreciated!
4400230
It's getting close, too. I don't know what I'm going to do.
4400584
Yeah . . . funny story, I was hanging out at the bar with some writers and one of them had looked at the story back when it first started, and he said he'd read a few chapters and wanted to know how many there were now, so he clicked on the story and was shocked to see that he was now 200 chapters behind and counting.
4432101
I dunno, and it's not the first time that I've showed that art. I think I blogged about it right after it got drawn. Lord Legion comissioned it for me, 'cause he's awesome like that.
4435952 Well, that is good to know. Do you want me too?
4435988
If you'd like to, that would be cool. I'm not going to change the cover art, but I'd definitely put up a blog post if you did an art piece.
4437698 Cool, and I wasn't going to expect you to change the coverart.
4437938
4444166 Yep!
