<I should have suspected that the Wyrm was a metaphysician, since this all started when Brianna threw an Encyclopedia of Philosophy at the flaming sword guy. I wonder if the Wyrm is actually some kind of emanation of the collective subconscious hunger for meaning, in a world seemingly gone mad.
And who is minding the till back at the bookstore?>

he paused, "need to go ================ <Well, Grace, sincerity is the flattering-est form of imitation, isn't it? And if we didn't write in Iinverted Taglines and clichés then we wouldn't be the cool Sf writers that we are, now would we? As to being real, I agree with Grace (though I suppose he could be an evil demi-urge); But for the sake of some consistency, we all need to put on our Theologizing-metaphysics beanies [the ones with the propeller on the top that says "I think therefore . . . Um?"] (like the one Grace had on a minute ago) and consider that we are all figaments of the creators thoughts. "In Him we live and move and have our being" (KJV again from Paul's Aereopagas speechifying). I feel like we are writing the story behind the story behind the story with these asides. Dizzyjam, maybe you should collect the asides and see how it reads. We might get another book on "How to write fiction" out of it.

The wyrm is shaping up to be a good guy. That's my feeling, anyway, since he's pointing our clueless hero and heroine to God. How random!>

that expelled them both from ====== <Is this a side trip from the real story about the Flaming Sword Guy and Biranna's trans-dimensional Bookstore, Arms Depot and Picostellar Detective agency, or has it become the main line of our story world reality? I must say that, long winded Metaphysical Wyrms, delivering discourses on the nature of reality, are not my favorite focal characters to read about. I got my fill of philosophy almost 150 years ago, when I was in college. (that was in the BC times [before calculators; no I didn't come over on the Ark, thank you very much.]) Now if this scaly mad hatter turns out to be related to the Sandworms of Dune, that could be an interesting turn of event. >

the wyrm's lair headlong into <<<It would be interesting if the wyrm was related to the Sandworms of Dune, but then we'd have to start throwing in so many other references to other famous stories. No, I'd say that this wyrm was a side trip just to give them some information that they may or may not use, but will probably turn out to be very important as these things go. Of course, I personally thought the visit was over with waaay too fast, but that's the way this story seems to go. We barely start a scene and then it changes. Let's see where we wind up next! >>>

Beckoning from the middle of ============= <Hmmmm I see what you mean by the instantaneous scene changes. This is starting to sound like a story written by a half dozen or more authors with differing goals with a few crazed anarchists ;D thrown in for good measure. Oh, wait it is being written by a half dozen or more . . . well you know, . . . us. [ Post Oh: And Brianna, the real , told me that she thought the story was, how did she put it, good or cool or something like that. Nice to hear a voice from outside the story world once in a while.]
