Well, I was not saying that I want to restart Vanguard, as much as I miss the fun of collaborative writing that we had around the first couple of year of the HR Universe. When we were many writers and our main goal was to develop a fun plot with our characters.
Then the main goal switched to write the next great American novel and the whole concept drowned.
As for the new MBL, I don't understand such harshness on Grimm part. It sure was an attempt at nostalgia, but I don't see why it should be considered misguided.
Sure it "doesn't involve years of backstories of characters and ideas from people who don't post anymore", as the aspect from the past are old characters of us (Gooz and me) old MBL posters, while the rest is pretty much new.
We also had a good start, while the story ended pretty dead. But it's a common plague here, as it affect ALL the collective stories, based on new or old concepts.
In any case this thread was not meant to restart Vanguard, but to talk about the old stories, exactly for nostalgia's sake. Like, what we would have done with it, aborted plots, new characters we were about to introduce...
