Why is it, I wonder, I burble openly about some projects and am cagey with others? The current one, for example, I've mentioned in comments in other journals but, aside from an elliptical poll, not here. Till now, anyway, and I'm willing to only because I just finished the zeroth draft. This is another YA, a high school romantic comedy about a boy who's public about testing positive for lycanthropy and a moth fairy passing for human -- or had been, until she crashed in the middle of the Homecoming Game. Literally -- those fieldlights fugged up her navigation but good. Also in the mix are the cheerleader ex who infected him, predator/prey relationships, problematic denizens of the boiler room, and just why A Midsummer Night's Dream is wrong, wrong, WRONG.*

So no queers in this one, but it's all about coming out.

I am bemused, though, that almost all the gratuitous nudity is male. Time to let it sit a bit, before fixing the obviously broken parts. And then to find out whether anyone else thinks it's as funny as I do.


* Such the wrongness. The eye of fairy has not heard, the ear of fairy has not seen, fairy's hand is not able to taste, her tongue to conceive, nor her heart to report, what its wrong is. So of course her English class is reading it.

Whoa! Fingers crossed you like it...

[larryhammer]

Crisp, clean prose and you've a steady hand with your camera's eye. And I just cackled my way though the face-off between Inda's sister and brother. (I wouldn't have minded seeing one more round of one-upping, before cutting to audience reactions, but then once they were committed, the reactions were the more important part.)

...ekshooeleh, the important part is the lesson Hadand is about to learn...

[larryhammer]

I figgered as much. She just exposed herself -- thus the reactions.

Oh, there's more to that issue...but the rilly big payoff is halfway thru book 2.

I'm assuming you subscribe to Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog, but on the odd chance you don't, I thought the review of Serpentes on a Shippe! (spoylerez) (http://houseoffame.blogspot.com/2006/08/serpentes-on-shippe-spoylerez.html) might be amusing.

I am, and it was. Whee!

The mind of the guy who does this must be a freaky place to live in.
