Nope! I follow almost all of them. I even have a system! LOL I have to read *all* of the history of a patient before I will allow myself to read the most current sessions. I hate coming into the story in the middle! =) There are only a few more patients left for me to read their histories.

I guess that's what this board is for. I'd love to see more fans use it.

I thought about offering suggestions and ideas to the various artists. Then I realized that I could take those ideas and make them into my own character, Olivia Stillwell. She's turning out differently than I had planned (Christopher told me that the characters sometime take on a life of their own!), but that's ok, I'll just make her more outrageous or make another character to pick up some of the things I can't put into Olivia! =)
