Never liked pdf. Postscript is the way to go. That way it can be edited and changed provided you can program in postscript. (which I can).

--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 11 Jul 2020, 16:45 ---I don’t think it’s a dislike as much as the inherent problem with a happy ending is that it is just that, an ending. Once you arrive, that’s it, story’s done, pack up the sets and go home. Which is obviously a problem in an ongoing serial that needs to continue indefinitely for its creator to remain fed and housed.

Continuing the happy new couple's story tends to be difficult for many writers.
Especially Hollywood. Just look at how many sequels have some hackneyed reason the happy couple that got together at the end of the previous movie are separated (or what have you) just so they can retread the romantic plot/subplot of the previous movie. Even good, well written shows suffer from this. Miss Martian and Superboy get together during season one of Young Justice. But stuff happens off camera and they're broken up at the start of season 2 (which was very offputting when watching the whole series).
EDIT: fixing way-past-time-for-bed typos
EDIT 2: A counter example (and rare exception) would be Rick and Evelyn O'Connell in The Mummy Returns (2001).
Is it cold in here?:
QC often covers characters overcoming damage from the past.
Claire has apparently unhealed injury from her father's infidelity. That would be interesting to explore.

I've been dealing with relatives who wholeheartedly believe the current American healthcare system is socialized medicine despite it being the antithesis of socialized medicine. It's very frustrating.

People like my mother (who I've recently informed of her cancellation) who grew up during the Red Scare of the '50s and are the target audience for FOX News Channel's poisonous lies.
the silent firefly:
most people of that age demographic are the target audience for any media platform's poisonous lies.
btw, what does it exactly mean to say that your mother is cancelled?

that would be interesting and Marten is the perfect character to instigate it. i can imagine him cluelessly sending Claire into fits over what he would call a totally innocuous interaction with another woman. or if Padma came to visit.
