: Actually, contrary to what most people may have thought when Chapter 3 was made, James was not trying to kill the story off so it wouldn't continue, James did it as this big drastic change to the what the previous 2 chapters were setting up. James did it so the story could continue, to see what other strange directions it could go :) (remember Goodsport, the end of James' Chapter 3 said: "There were no survivors, or were there?" , basically giving the next author to determine the outcome as they saw fit). I think in a way, the third put the story in gear where it would set up other outlandish, fun incidents to come, and Chapter 4 and 5 served to actually give the story some kind of plot, objective, and structure to what was really meant to be a joke.

Oh, sorry about the misunderstading. :(

: (also, notice how stories that are in the same vein as the Tessa story tend to get way more attention then the one's that are just a straight Indy fan-fic?).

I've noticed that to. Why is that?

Brett, now that you mentioned James' crashing of the plane in Chapter 3 of the Tessa story, here's a little trivia for you: How was Indiana James saved from the wing of the Boeing 777 slamming right on top of him in Chapter 4 (the answer was revealed a lot later in the story)? :)
