Heh. S'okay--it isn't as though I made much of a noise about it, or
anything.

I think Juri might dispute that, were she here . . . Heck, even Utena
might dispute it.

It's a bit over two chapters now, and I don't think it's going to turn
into erotica for a change (unless things get a lot stranger than I'm
anticipating in part 3, assuming I get that far). I think this is the
first time I've ever dealt with a protag/narrator who's happily
married . . . well, other than the fragment about the hermaphroditic
merpeople. >_<;;;;;;;;; Heck, the last fanfic I finished wasn't erotica
either, and the romantic subplot was het. (Still need someone to beta
that mess . . . I don't suppose anyone here is willing to wade through
half a megabyte of Lunar: Eternal Blue fanfic?)
I'm not really happy with the novel-thing as it stands at present, but
I've promised myself that this time I'm going to try to finish the draft
before going back and revising anything, or at least get to the point of
figuring out what I need to change. The problem with original novels is
that I never really seem to get enough of a grip on my characters . . .

I hope there comes a day when I can take you up on that.

I know--I even know of a Usenet poster who publishes the stuff in honest-
to-goodness paying venues. Thing is, I suspect that the sort of stuff I
prefer to write would fall into the same sort of limbo as the work she
calls "The Trashy Porn Novel That Grew
--not enough sex for the erotica
market, but too much and too explicit to place it easily outside that
market, either. Maybe I ought to start a publishing house. ;P
E. Liddell, about to spend half an hour messing around with computer code
before playing Star Ocean for a while.
