That's an awesome diagram you made there - I did one (pen on paper, will scan it if you want!)
-> thanks! it was easy to do as I use the necessary software for work hehe. i'd be really interested in seeing how yours came out, it's always interesting comparing different layouts of the same network. and as you're linking the different series together, it will be interesting to map the connections as they're created.
I was initially going to write the story with every character telling their own bit
-> I was expecting that at first too but your storyline was a proper bucket of laughs! and salt is the ideal vagabond to focus the story on - globetrotter, two mothers, doubts around his relation to arlington, it's like a gypsy version of the kardashians! I'm sure you'll manage to whip something tasty up for Phase II of this epic tale :D
Vagabonds II has just started
-> whoop whoop! onto the serious business now! :)
