Have you read Rudyard Kipling's two books about Puck, "Puck of Pook's Hill" and "Rewards and Fairies"? (I've read both and quite enjoyed them; oddly enough, I first read them about the same time that "The Gathering" first aired on television).
Greg responds...
I started "Puck of Pook's Hill" with my kids. They weren't too interested in it, so I'm afraid we never finished it.
I don't have the other one.
Anonymous writes...
Todd - Green also wrote one on Egyptian Mythology.
Greg responds...
Good to know. Thanks.
By the way, who are you? Could you make up some other name besides Anonymous?
Lord Sloth writes...
The Wierd Sissies said that the Eye of Oden was fordged on Avalon. How is that possible if it came from Oden's head?
Greg responds...
Odin's from Avalon.
Sapphire writes...
Is Avalon in another dimension?
Greg responds...
Define your terms.
Lord Sloth writes...
What was Vinni's job from between "the cage" and "vendettas". Was it using that fork lift at the docks and he just happened to find Goliath and Hudson? If so, why was Mr.C with him? And did he lose his job again for sinking the fork lift? If not, was he hunting the Gargoyles?
Greg responds...
He hot-wired that forklift. He was unemployed between "The Cage" and "The Journey".

Did you develop the character of Fiona Canmore before Team Atlantis? If so what were your original plans for her?
Greg responds...
No. I developed her brother before Team Atlantis. When that opportunity arose, I just gave the brother a twin sister.
FYI, if you're interested in learning more about Fiona...
Come to G2002.
(Waves to Siryn.)
Mara writes...
Hi! It was great seeing you again at this year's Gathering. (Insert tons of compliments, comments and the like, regarding that event).
Anyway, you wrote:
I don't have any more plans for the pie gun.
But I have very specific plans for the guy the pie gun was named after.
And I just, belatedly, realize that Carter is the alias that Jon Canmore uses in Hunter's Moon. If I remember correctly, that in your plans, Castaway was NOT Jon Canmore... is he (Canmore) the one you are referring to?
It always seemed to me that Jon having access to TV, via being a newscaster, had more influence to the public at large than being the head of an obvious Klan rip-off.
So, be oblique and witty about this?
Greg responds...
No, in my development Canmore was definitely Castaway.
It's the people who took over from me who didn't seem to want to acknowledge that.
... as for the original to Mr. Carter.... I'm not in the mood to reveal that right now...
But, hey, Mara, where's your Gathering diary, huh?
Anonymous writes...
What do the majority of gargoyles in Pukhan look like?
Greg responds...
Thom Adcox.
Lord Sloth writes...
You just this second awnsered my question about Mr Catter, and now I have to ask, who was Vinni's pie gun named after?
Greg responds...
Mr. Carter.
Anonymous writes...
Is Fiona named after a relative of yours?
Greg responds...
Nope.
Tmansdc writes...
Hey there Mr. Wiseman uh I mean Mr. Weisman,
One question, what are you currently working on as of July 8, 2001? Thank you very much for answering my question and why didn't you answer my last one?
Greg responds...
I don't know why I didn't answer it. Is it possible Todd disqualified it? You might want to review the guidelines for submitting.
As of this moment, 8-15-01, I am unemployed. I have one more Team Atlantis recording for a Direct to Video that they are doing that salvages a fraction of the work we did on the cancelled series.
I recently finished writing a screenplay with my brother and a novel on my own. But my main project these days is looking for work.
Cynthia writes...
1) As of "The Journey", was Brooklyn a virgin?
2) As of "The Journey", was Elisa a virgin?
Greg responds...
1. Yes. Technically.
2. No. Not in my mind, anyway. Elisa wasn't a virgin as of "Awakening, Part One".
Phil writes...
I've enjoyed reading the G2198 proposal, but now I'm going back into the Ask Greg archive for a question. On 9/5/2000 you posted that the G2158 revamp forced you to go back and make adjustments to both DARK AGES and "Three Brothers." It also necessitated minor changes to TIME DANCER and clarified your thinking on PENDRAGON and BAD GUYS. (end of paraphrase) I can see where it would change TIME DANCER, but what kinds of things did you have to change in the other spin-offs? I'm not asking for specifics, just a general idea.
Greg responds...
I had to think about the nature of Arthur's immortality.
I had to posit forward what happens to a lot of characters in a lot of shows.
I realized in doing more detailed math that Tachi did not hatch until after Brooklyn, Katana, Nash and Fu Dog returned to 1997. When they came back, she was still an egg.
Basically, I went through the entire TimeLine (all I know of it at least) from WAY, WAY back when to 2198. I literally went through every episode and assigned days and dates to every canon event in the 66 episodes I was involved in.
It took me a year. From G2000 to G2001. But the good new is that now I'm fairly confident that I got it right. When I have the timeline with me, which I don't at the moment, I can speak from real confidence about all this stuff.
Anonymous writes...
How ofter does the London clan use magic? Are there any spellcasters besides Una? If so are they more skilled than her?
Greg responds...
I'm not going to quantify it.
And I'm not going to tie my hands one way or another on her clanmates.
Lord Sloth writes...
Possesion:
1) When Puck(in the guise of Goliath) was telling the Clan about the soul trasfer spell, Lex was amazed that Goliath knew magic and Puck put his hand on Lex's shoulder, and some sparkaly stuff came over Lex's face. What was that all about?
2)What did Angella(or Desdemona rather) do when she pulled Coldfire under the water? She didn't come up for a lond time, not untill Puck called her.
Greg responds...
1. It was about magically convincing Lex to be a little more trusting.
2. She meaning Coldfire? Angela inflicted grievous damage. But like Coldsteel, Coldfire could self-repair.
matt writes...
1. Brooklyn and Katana will return from the Timedance with their two children and Fu-Dog, right?
2. are those two children their first two children? will they have another child in Manhatten? that would make Brooklyn's last child be in the same generation as Broadway and Angela's first.
Greg responds...
1. With one child, one beast and one egg.
2. There's no reason biologically why they wouldn't have a third kid. But I'm not answering this question by confirming that they do. Lots of things MIGHT happen. As to the generational thing, I believe you are right in theory. But I don't have my timeline with me and I'm nervous about making mistakes. My memory for numbers is NOTORIOUSLY awful.
Kelly L Creighton/Kya White Sapphire writes...
"As to Oberon's Children, you've seen one of their ancestors on the series. "
AHH~ THE TORTURE! come on, a hint! oh please oh please?!
Greg responds...
Will-O-the-Wisp.
Todd Jensen writes...
So we've seen one of the ancestors of the fay in the series? Do you mean the Will-o-the-Wisp in "Pendragon"? (To be perfectly fair, it was Aris Katsaris who suggested the idea first, but it made sense to me).
Greg responds...
Do I want to reveal this?
Not really.
But, hey for you and Aris -- Yes.
(Keep in mind, we're talking about evolutionary ancestors. I'm not literally saying that the Wisp in Pendragon is Mab's grandfather or anything.)
Anonymous writes...
What legends inspired you to put a clan there?
Greg responds...
Korean legends related to me by Frank Paur.
The Souldier writes...
Was there a one-liner you wanted to have in Gargoyles, but it just wouldn't find it's way in? Something like getting Owen to say Jalapena.
Greg responds...
Not that I can think of off-hand.
Anonymous writes...
Are there any other types of gargoyles besides the aquatic loch ness gargoyles, the animal headed gargoyles of the UK. the serpentine ones in Guatemala and the generic gargoyles of New York and Ishimura? If so could you describe a few of the unknown gargoyles?
Greg responds...
Problem is I don't consider either the Ishimura or the Wyvern gargs generic.
Anonymous writes...
What exactly is Mount Thanatos? City?
Why did they name it after death incarnate?
Greg responds...
It's a mountain. And that's a LONG story.
Sapphire writes...
What is the New olympians role in the liberation of earth against Space Spawn rule?
Greg responds...
Eventually, significant.
Gipdac writes...
1) Do the Canmore siblings (The Hunters) know about Macbeth (What, with his still being alive and all)?
2) Have they, or any other Canmores, ever tried to hunt him?
3) Does Macbeth have any descendants living by 1996?
4) Do the Canmores (at least the ones descended from Jon) still hunt Demona in 2198?
Greg responds...
1. Not saying.
2. Not saying.
3. No.
4. Yes.
Todd Jensen writes...
Have you ever read "Camelot 3000"?
Greg responds...
Yes. In fact, I worked at DC Comics when/while it was being produced (over I believe a two year or more period).
