And now we come to the first "episode" of the Wand series. <br /><br />As I've stated before, I've always considered the first ten chapters of this one to be the pilot. For those that might not understand that, a pilot is what television creators make to showcase their series ideas to the networks. They are used to set up the characters and situations that a series will be about. If the network buys the series, it'll go into production, usually producing a series of standalone episodes in that series.<br /><br />That's how Tales Of The Wand will proceed from this point forward. Each future chapter will be a complete story unto itself. That doesn't mean that elements introduced in these chapters won't be used later on. Just that when they are brought in, it'll be for a separate tale.<br /><br />Now, it's in my nature to end my stories with certain elements unresolved. You'll notice that this one is like that. Even the pilot hinted at Lisa getting revenge on Anne for turning her into a bra. People have asked me what she did. My answer to that is always "What do you think?, because that's why I do it. I like to leave something for the reader to imagine on their own. Most of the time, it will be better than anything I can come up with anyway.<br /><br />So, I hope you enjoy this one. There are more planned, though they might take a bit to show up. I also have plans for "Shannon's Touch" and "The Assistants" series, as well as a few non-series ideas I want to explore. But don't worry. Chris, Lisa and Anne will be around for a long time to come. They're too much fun to abandon forever.
