London Calling - thanks and acknowledgements

[xp_daytripper]

Technically Operation: London Calling is the first part of a two-part plot, but given the stellar work the players did, I wanted to express my thanks to them now. Not only do we have a series of truly awesome logs, but these logs were written at possibly the worst time for a lot of the participants. Through exams, papers, unemployment, personal stress and just plain afk-ness, everyone who volunteered for the plot came through, even when they had every reason - and opportunity - to pull out and their plot runner kind of went crazy for a while there.

Added thanks to Jen and Dex, who between them socked five of the ten logs, and then wrote their own, and to Alasdair, who provided extensive London knowledge and answered questions ranging from "did they move the London Stone to the British Museum yet?" to "if I was the embodiment of the London Fire, what would be a nifty form to take?"

Dex gets further credit for helping me develop London Calling, over many nights and many beers at the pub. He took what was half an idea - Bedlam - and expanded it to give all of X-Force a chance to shine, and shine they did. Every log is fantastic, and I appreciate the effort everyone has made.

And finally, thanks to Peter Ackroyd's London: The Biography, which was pretty much my Bible whilst developing and logging this plot.
