I don't have one of those google alerts but I do have someone who saw the discussion.
There's a certain degree of personal and professional drama involved that makes any type of continuing online 'secret life' implausible, but the main thing is that a hard drive sucked up a bunch of foreign dust and eroded away all the drafts of the rest of VS7. A coming-back scenario a la Sokol is pretty much inconceivable.
Okay, on to the comments about Kvs7:
Regarding tone in general, but especially with regard to "Amnesia" and "Vapor Trail"-- this is where you basically *have* to be on board for the central conceit that the other episodes (and the time implied in them) happens. "Amnesia" takes place probably a month after WIEAYB, "Vapor Trail" probably another two weeks at least after that. As well, I tried really hard to have the "tone" of the post-ep at least in the same ballpark as the episode, at least as I saw it. In retrospect don't think this lends itself well to sitting down and gobbling all the stories at once.
Poems / Coyote Luck
I wish I hadn't posted Poems at all-- the scenes in it were written as exercises, things that I needed to sort out how they happened but I didn't think anyone else needed to know. I'd consider it a relatively inessential B-side for the box set.
Amy re: timelines.
Air dates, especially in S3, make no sense whatsoever-- "Pusher" covers literally months within a single narrative. And do they only work seven months a year, late September through early May? Anasazi has no internal dates. I basically had to generate a timeline for S3 that doesn't exist, and when if you take the air dates as actual time the implied timelines of the episodes themselves are unrealistic. In "Coyote Luck" I just tried to project a few days forward from when they abandoned Scully's car. I took one liberty with the order of episodes-- moving the "undated" Grotesque after Pusher because Grotesque clearly takes place during winter (and also because Grotesque has resonance that most of late S3 doesn't, no one will care about an "Avatar" reference), while Pusher, more realistically, starts probably in late spring or early summer and winds up in autumn. If I had posted the explanation for how I tried to make S3's timeline make sense along *with* Poems, it would have been longer than the story and not actually satisfied anyone anyway.
HFTW/WIEAYB
The alwusray is Aulpay. Seriously, though, Amyhit was right, though I know nothing about quantum mechanics and it sounds suspiciously like poetry itself with its collapsing wave functions. That jewel-toned story that we see a flash of at the end has started and it's going to tell itself whether anyone is listening or not.
