I wonder... Even as a celestial being would she remember us?

Well I was being semi-poetic, not literal. It's a nice thought though.

But that opens up a whole 'nother area of speculation. Touching on aspects of alternate universes and reincarnation. Maybe that's one of the choices offered to a soul that wants to be active in the multiverse?

Of course, I see the distinct possibility that this subject could go beyond meta-continuity for NXE into actual theological discussion. If that's the case, we'd need to move it somewhere else, I think. If so, I'm not adverse to continuing the discussion in private email.

Nah...Stop taking me so literally :)

Well, it should be noted that Rachael wasn't inserted into the story "from scratch"... she (or, more accurately, an angel character that filled a similar role) has existed in the draft for some time. But until about a month ago, that character was little more than a placeholder -- we knew what that that angel needed to -do-, but not really who that angel -was-.

Giving the Angel Rachael a personality modeled after Rachie turned out to be a perfect fit... and, we hope, a fitting tribute.

I never knew Rachie... I don't pretend that the character we wrote is fully representative of her. I don't think it -could- be. What I hope is that, in the end, we created a character that Rachie would be pleased to have her name (and memory) associated with.

I think that in the end, whether or not the Angel Rachael is representative of Rachie is beside the point. What is important is that EPU created a tribute that will give Rachie a memorial that will extend far beyond the scope of her friends and family and did so in such a way that people who read the story will ask, 'Who was the real Rachael?' Hopefully they will ask this for a long time to come, and so long as there is at least one who remembers you, you are never truly dead.

I'm getting all maudlin...
