I think I've given it enough thought by now...
I like both Vanguard as a company and Vanguard as a private organization. Just keep in mind, if we swtich over, we need to make the change as smooth as possible.
A La Perdita story would be interesting. We concentrated on the capital during the Christmas story, and I enjoyed that. It's the team's home base. Charles Dickens had London. Kipling had India. Faulkner had...oh...whatever that funky county in As I Lay Dying is called. We have La Perdita. Location can be very important in a story.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And our stories are only as strong as our weakest characters and plot holes (er...like flying to Nevada...er...sorry). I don't like having secondary characters like Montag and Leslie so one-dimensional. They're not as important as the people on the field and in the bulk of the story, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring.
