At CONvergence, you mentioned that you have a written list of things to keep in mind while writing scenes for Rain of the Ghosts: what music Rain is hearing, what's the light source, what's the weather, etc. Would you mind posting the complete list?
Greg responds...
The "Cheat Sheet" for Rain of the Ghosts wound up being about 27 pages long, by the time I was done.
In contrast, the "Cheat Sheet" for the third novel in the series, "Masque of Bones" is already 98 pages long, and I've barely scratched the surface in terms of research and planning.
I don't have the Cheat Sheet for Spirits of Ash and Foam handy, but I have a vague memory it was about 180+ pages.
Anyway, I'm not going to post a 27 page document here. But I will cut and paste the first page, which (in extra large font) I kept right in front of me to keep things in mind as I wrote:
CHEAT SHEET
What all characters look like:
--Skin color,
--Hair length, style and color.
--eye color, eye shape?
--Build, height, weight. Etc.
--CLOTHES -- LOCAL COLOR t-shirt
--Weather or PENDING weather. MOON status.
Sights. Smells.
Sounds. Soundtrack.
Motion.

Why were Artemis and M'gann so much more effective in hurting Black Beetle in any manner in Summit than Wonder Girl and Superboy who both have super strength in Before the Dawn when all they did was hit him with a sword a few times?
Greg responds...
Honestly, I'd have to watch the episodes again. But I'm not sure they were effective. They just had more experience by that time and knew how to keep him at bay more effectively.

No Spoilers.

So from a strictly nerd stance, does spidey in your show rely on spider sense to web swing? I ask this because your spider sense abilities were so clearly defined.
Greg responds...
I'm not sure I know what you mean by "rely". I'm sure it helps.

Was there ever a Wind Ceremony for the gargoyles at Castle Wyvern?
Greg responds...
If you mean the gargoyles massacred there by Hakon, then, no. Sad, right?

Greetings, Mr. Weisman!
I hope you've been having a good day. I just have a few questions regarding the three main members of the Reach that have been bugging me for a while. I really hope you will answer these.
1. What is the average Reach (the original species) lifespan?
2. What is the height and age of the Reach Ambassador?
3. What is the height and age of the Reach Scientist?
4. What is the height and age of Black Beetle?
Have a good day, sir!
Greg responds...
1. I don't know. Haven't worked that out.
2. Ditto.
3. Ditto.
4. Ditto.
Sorry. But better to admit my ignorance than to pretend otherwise.

hey Greg, i've been a fan of Gargoyles since i was 11 yrs old, i was wondering, how did you come up with the distinct roars, growls and snarls for each clan member? (you can include Demona if you want)
Greg responds...
We worked them out on two levels. First with the various actors and voice director Jamie Thomason. Then with our sound effects editor Paca Thomas at Advantage Audio.
FYI - Advantage Audio is also where we did The Spectacular Spider-Man and where we are currently posting the Rain of the Ghosts AudioPlay.

1. How did Hal Jordan get his ring?
2. Why did Martian Manhunter chose to stay on Earth?
3. Before becoming Green Arrow did Oliver Queen ever wash up (shore) on the island?
4. Under what circumstances did Black Canary's mother die?
Greg responds...
1. His origin is basically the same. Details differ into spoilerish territory.
2. At what point? (Different reasons at different times in his life.)
3. "wash up (shore) on the island"??? Not sure what this means. But as with Hal, his basic origin is unchanged. Details differ.
4. No spoilers.

1. Where does Hal Jordan live?
2. Where does John Stewart live?
3. Where does Guy Gardener live?
Greg responds...
1. Coast City.
2. I honestly don't remember. I'd have to do a little research. First into YJ materials to see if we ever made that decision. And if not, I'd have to do some research.
3. Ditto.
