Not really; if you are using Onika and such, they exist in
the porcupine Jim reality. The human Jim is just for comic
effect, usually in one-off, unrelated scenarios that do not
usually have any correlating time frame reference.

You had me a little worried when I first read this line!

Ah, I see!

Good how that works, hey? Preferable to releasing then
re-releasing with changes. :-/

You can use either; it is your story, though I tend to use
the porcupine these days. Jim's Birthday is one of my
later stories and that has the porcupine.
> Human Jim meets Porcupine Jim: bad idea, right?
You _could_ use it, but depends to what effect you were
trying to achieve. I can think of possible scenarios, but
it would probably needlessly complicate the story. Simple
answer is "no don't", but it is up to you.

The human Jim reality does not pass time (that sounds quite
wrong!), I don't know for porcupine Jim, though that
reality does have a history premise, where the human Jim is
only acting with the premise of he's been lumbered with
three hellions to look after. JMH himself would obviously
be able to better detail how this all works.

You mean he'd stop looking over his shoulder every twenty

Good to see you're using a story plan. If only more writers
would!
Incidentally, you are better to let a thread die than
rebuke someone and then add your own other OT comments. I
encourage participation and it was his first post, since I
approved the message and we don't know the asker's true
scenario, they could well have been attacked by spyware
(though as with my explanation, I doubt it), he is not
about to get banned, though being beligerent is a good way
to end up on moderation. :-/
Scrapper, Black Dragon, having a tooth pulled does little
to improve my immediate feelings of well-being, though I'm
sure I'll feel better tomorrow. *weak smile* Ouch.
