Chet Flash imposter, (haha, not really an imposter, 'cause we don't know who you are...)
those scrolly paragraphs are almost impossible to read!
I'm (probably) using Chet Flash in my series (it's got at least a decent chance at getting in) and having him creatively make up lots of lies. I know not to describe what he looks like, so the following paragraph is pretty much what the main description of him is:
Chet Flash appeared! Chet could appear and disappear from anywhere and to anywhere at
will. He had an imagination as creative as a forum full of Times writers, was as tricky as
the neopets team with the ‘Which Petpet Are You?’ quiz, as fast as the Pant Devil Devil
attacking the stealer of underwear, as silly as the characters in the neopedia, and made as
much sense as a faerie kau with antennae. Chet Flash appeared....(later) Where ever Chet Flash goes, chaos follows.
Is that okay? Is that too blatantly (trying to) putting Chet in the Times? I don't think anyone would know who he was, other than a mystery character that disappears pretty soon.

He's not supposed to play any major part in any stories yet: just pop up every now and then where it is least expected. |

Plus, that paragraph could seriously disrupt the flow of your story. Maybe not, but it would seem like a paragraph that all of the sudden has nopthing to do with the rest of the story could throw people off... Maybe not, I don't know what the story's like. Still, I'd try to keep it down to a few brief mentionings. =) |

Act like he's a character you already described, etc. |

Serious revising to be done. Got it.  (I don't like how that series is going, anyway. It just gets worse and worse...) |

He's not supposed to play any major part in any stories yet: just pop up every now and then where it is least expected. I concur. I think your paragraph was too obvious. I think the key to writing with Chet is to assume your reader knows who and what Chet is. Of course they don't, but that's irrelevant. Act like he's a character you already described, etc. Yeah, I think that's the best way. If you surf through the Times a little and find some Chet Flash references, I think you'll have a good idea about how to use him. |

Chet's entire mention--
(A peophin is listing a bunch of fighters in some war) ...Chet Flash, he tricked the cooks and stole all the pies just before the battle where the
monsters captured some of the fighters...
the peophin goes on to talk about some more people. The thing is, she goes on to talk about all of them in more detail--except for Chet. People will forget about him but wonder why that random character is stuck in there. At least that's my reasoning.
I've only seen Chet in 1 article and 1 comic. It'll be a loooong time before any readers catch it. (I wonder if someone who notices will ever write an article saying Chet is taking over the NT or something, that'd be funny)

I've seen him everywhere, though...short stories, articles, comics.... I stuck him in an article published in 75 and in a short story I sent in ten minutes ago. |
