Michael Miller yes that too, kind of, which is what I was thinking about when I said they were not useful. I was thinking about the prep side of a Bang, which falls more under the aegis of Front prep (although Fronts aren’t exactly Bangs, either; I’d be happy to have that argument in a different thread though).

Having urgency emerge organically from the fiction at hand feels different to me than preparing to introduce urgency. That feels important but maybe I’m fooling myself.

As a practical matter I will sometimes file away hot ideas that occur to me when I’m thinking about what move I want to make. This idea doesn’t work right now but man…if it comes up I’m totally using it.
