Hi Greg,
It's good to see that you're answering questions again - just take your time, you'll get through them! I have a question I would like to ask of you, It probably seems stupid, but...
In the episode 'Mark of the panther' (I think that's the name) , when Fara Maku transforms, his Necklace is not 'absorbed' by the magic spell. Was this just to distinguish the two were-panthers, or was there another reason?
See, told ya it was stupid!
Anyway, thanks.
P.S. Am I the only Irish gargoyles fan? If not please mail me at oberons.child@oceanfree.net . I'm dying to meet other fans! Thanks again for your time. Oh, and Have a happy X-Mas!!!!
Greg responds...
I hope there are other Irish fans, but I don't think posting here is the best way to meet them. Try a chat or comment room.
As to your question, I think you need to look at it like Hudson's sword. If the jewelry is regarded mentally as something other than clothing, then it probably doesn't change with the spin of Anansi's spell. Anansi might just like decorative things.

We've seen that a fae can change a human into a gargoyle, or vice versa..but could a fae change a mortal into one of the Third Race?
Greg responds...
In appearance or reality?
Lilith writes...
Hey, me again. I didn't think this question tied in with my previous question, so I'm doing the seperate post thing. Happy that someone's playing by the rules? So, here it is:
Would you consider the races mentioned in Tolkien's books (hobbits, dwarves, elves, etc) part of Oberon's Children? Or are they another race entirely?
Greg responds...
I don't think Hobbits are public domain, so they wouldn't have appeared at all.
Elves, as the show states, are clearly a subset and/or a pseudonym for Oberon's children.
Dwarves? I don't know. I suppose some of Oberon's children might pass as dwarves. And there are of course human dwarves, but I don't see them as a separate race.
Who are the etc. that you're referring to?
Cassandra writes...
Have Oberon and Titania had any children together? I do remember that when Oberon called the rest of the Third Race "his children", he was speaking as a king over his subjects. And if they did, did we see them as characters?
Greg responds...
We have not yet met Oberon and Titania's two children, at least not the two they had together.
Leong writes...
How much more powerful than Oberin is Mab? Slightly more? Twice as powerful? Or some other quantity?
Greg responds...
I'm not going to quantify that. It's not like they sit around benchpressing by magic to measure this with precision. Suffice to say, she's more powerful in some ways. Less in others.

In how much detail have you plotted the lifes of Macbeth and Demona in the years between 1057 and 1994? Do you know only some tidbits of their lifes (as for example the one you mentioned that Macbeth knew Shakespeare) or have you plotted them and their movements to some greater extent?
Did Macbeth and Demona meet any time between 1057 and 1995? Or was 'City of Stone' their first meeting after so many centuries? Did they meet the Weird Sisters again?
Greg responds...
The Weird Sisters were watching them, but I think largely with maybe a couple of exceptions, they stayed out of sight.
Macbeth and Demona definitely had a handful of encounters over the centuries.
As for what I've plotted, well, as you said, I have a few tidbits and a sense of the sweep. But, no, I don't have a detailed account in my head of what happened to each character.
Nemi writes...
We all know that Demona hates humans, she sees them as being basicly lower on the food chain to Gargoyles...So what is her attitude towards the Fey?
Greg responds...
Less overtly hostile. But she doesn't much care for them.
Aris Katsaris writes...
Is there a special story behind the flute of Puck that was seen in "Gathering, Part I"? Or the harp seen in "Lighthouse in the Sea of Time"? Were you planning to do stories on either or both of the two?
Greg responds...
I had planned on using the flute in THE GATHERING, PART TWO -- and it's probably a mistake that I didn't. I wanted Puck to use it to temporarily subdue Oberon, but it got away from me somehow.
But yes, the flute definitely interested me, and I would have done something with it eventually.
The harp, I hadn't given any real thought to. But it could probably come into play down the road in Pendragon.
Blashyrk writes...
In an episode we see Goliath battling Odin, the Norse God. Later in the gathering story line, we see Odin as a Child of Oberon.Does this mean that in the Gargoyles universe, the Gods of the ancient Norse religion are children of Oberon? If so they really messed up on the whole not interfering on human affairs thing, I mean look whats happeneing in Norway now because of belief in Odin.
Greg responds...
What's happening in Norway now because of belief in Odin? You mean right now?
Anyway, yes, Odin and the Asgardians are all of the Children. (Though, of course, they're not literally Oberon's sons and daughters.) As for the Non-interference edict, I think most of Asgardian mythology took place before the edict.
Excelsior writes...
In "The Price," after Hudson escapes Xanatos's dungeon, Xanatos bitterly comments that he now has no one to test the Cauldron of Life's magic on. Ever the good servant, Owen volunteers and sticks his hand into the cauldron without a second thought.
Now, I know Xanatos isn't the most practical being on Earth, but couldn't he have just dipped one of his little lab animals into the brew, or even one of his lower-level lackeys?
Greg responds...
Owen didn't give him the chance. I think Owen was feeling a little jealous of Xanatos' praise of the Macbeth robot. He dived right in, so to speak.
Of course, both men knew that "Owen" really had nothing to lose by dipping his hand. That's why both had such mild reactions to Owen's hand turning into stone.
