agilebritMaybe I don't suck quite as much as I did about an hour ago.
I have edited the Abducted!Werewolf fic into something resembling "good." I shall give it one more read-through tomorrow and then start sending it off into the wilds to find a home. Starting here. Although...
*ponders* Er. No. First I shall send it to F&SF. Because they have a very shiny turnaround time. *nods* This means I should format, print, and get it ready, oh...now. Except I want to let it sit and stew overnight.
Well. It's formatted, anyway.
And I've done a few more sentences in the BearFic. A drabble's worth. Which puts me at nearly 2500 words. I still don't know how it's going to end. I don't see how I can make everyone happy. I'm asking myself more questions, such as:
(1) What the hell is riding on my cave bear? Is it a pygmy marmoset, or a teeny little alien of some kind?
(2) What exactly does this little critter want? Is it EVIL or just scared?
(3) What will come along next to complicate the life of my crew further? Because, you know, an escaped cave bear isn't complication enough. Really.
(4) How is the bear going to communicate with the crew? Is there telepathy involved? It's a bear, dammit; genetic engineering or no, it can't actually talk. At least, I don't think so. And why didn't it communicate with them before instead of just roaring and slapping the side of the cage with a paw the size of Charlie's chest?
Oh, and if it would stop sucking? That'd be peachy, that would.
And if this cold would stop kicking my ass, that'd be nice too. *goes to bed*
