Quote: Eurostar said: IMO, if we'll finally do this, the continuity needed to be known will have to be contained in the first post of the story.
That's a great idea, since it not only allows all the readers to get up to speed but also any guys looking around to pick up on it. Plus, might I suggest a kind of 'Previously on [story name]' post at the start of each story, containing any important details, to keep us up to speed.
Quote: Also, all the background "canonical" and needed to be known for the reintroduced estabilished character will have to be in their introductory post IN story.
Again, great idea. If we go with T5's profiles thread, which I'm thoroughly in favour of (it worked like a charm for the JLR), we can also put some of it in there.
For me, there's only one other issues: Whether the team will be vanguard or not. Personally, I'm in favour of a new team, with a new name and new locale. That gives us a valid reason to ignore Vanguard Continuity, yet still use Vanguard characters if we want to (old guys join new teams all the time).
