As there are a lot of potential fans who may not be paying attention as this thread is nearly forty pages long, and may be confused by the title, I started a new thread (Ghostbusters West Coast Division: Opening Night) just for the purpose of advertising our debut story. The Ravisher and Lord Atrocity bits are actually excerpted from chapter one, and I hope everybody likes the quick quotes I gave them. Some were easy, others I had to improvise, so I hope they're okay…
I hasten to add that unless Ludicris and Kyle feel otherwise, we continue our main discussion in THIS thread, leaving the new one for comments for “outsiders”

Ray: With your approval, of course, once we get really going I still think we should do one story with Leon in it, as Ludicris suggests. Maybe Joey and Fritz have to go to New York for some sort of meeting at GBInc headquarters, and decide they're close enough to Newark to drop in on Doc's old hang-outs. Joey can meet Leon and bond with him a little bit (maybe even have a ghost case of some sort) so that when Fritz suggests Leon replace John, Joey agrees, knowing Leon will work out (eventually)
