That's my general feeling with Edward, as well. I liked him, he's a fun and interesting character... but I have no clue what to do with his story, and writing that era of England takes the kind of research that tends to get me completely distracted from the fact that, oh, right, I'm supposed to be writing, anyhow. XD
I'm putting him in the "someday, when I'm ready for it" pile, along with the Really Neat sci-fi idea that I've got.
I might very well take you up on that pre-planning thing. In the past, it's been my procedure to completely avoid talking about my original work because I felt like I'd lose the magic of the ideas if I talked about them... but I seem to lose the magic anyway, and at least with my fic I often find that talking things out with somebody else makes things clearer to me. So! It'd probably do me good.
...Anyway, Sebastian is to blame for one of the major plot points in the 90s-urban-fantasy idea, so... you have rights to be involved anyway. XD
