CK also brings up several important points. Apparently, none of the demons can be touched by anyone but the hellspawn. Everyone else is either not strong enough or restricted by higher powers. None of the symbiotes can be removed unless your characters are overseeing the process. You seem to have multiple events planned out in your head which cannot be interfered with in any way. For example...


 * Last Laugh caught the missile, and when I added that it exploded nonetheless, Phoenix just negated everything with a twirl of his cape.  He then tossed the Mane-iacs aside. And then a portal opened up to take matters farther away from them.


 * Nightwhinny got caught by a random minion instantaneously and without warning, even though he dropped a flash-bang to disguise his escape. Only when I stopped posting for him... until Imperfect's character could cut the power a day or two later... was he able to slip away.


 * Nightwhinny got a remedy to Mistress Mare-velous, but the symbiote was completely unaffected by this treatment; it just went into hiding or some other nonsense. Nameless underlings are not supposed to have that kind of invulnerability, especially for the sake of an undesirable plot element.


 * Smaug, Smaug, Smaug... Only Cogliostro and Phoenix can talk him out of doing anything. No one else can stand up to him. No one else can reason with him. No one else can interact with him and achieve any success.

The bottom line is that scenes related to your characters are outright rigid. The Mane-iacs can't interfere with Phoenix's fight. Nightwhinny can't evade the common minions. Mare-velous can't shake the parasite. Smaug cannot be swayed by anyone else's characters.

It might be a lot to think about, but that's my big concern. I agree with CK. There needs to be room for others to influence things.
