Okay, I have a not-quite first draft, with some edits noted where I missed points from the outline. I have a couple of scenes to merge, and I have to attach it to and edit it with the first part of the chapter.
Merran will be driven to study how to fight Shogran's creatures--and she'll regret that after her next encounter with Shogran--who will have buried some of these details in defensive amnesia. (It will take well over a week to get him healthy again.)
I owe you a Girl Genius link for that.
Yes, well, I'm no mercy killer. (Hey, where's the leering emoticon?)
And K. isn't happy if your protagonist isn't the last man standing.
It looks like the timelines may let me use Kirsey's visit to the library in this book. Ah, I'll have to see. It may depend on a horseshoes tournament.
What happened then, well that's the Play ...
Funny thing is, 'ornery' is derived from 'ordinary'. America must have been a MYOB nation of or'nery people who wanted to do without their neighbors most of the time. (See =The Convivial Codfish=, by Charlotte Macleod.)
Spot and correct the error, or be liable for "fifty lashes with a wet noodle."
Okay, got what MIGHT be a workable battle progression. I'll see after about ten hours of recuperative sleep.
I also have another half-dozen plot notes for the future. What I mean to do to good people will give me nightmares. But bad guys must have consequences. (Amy, I'm considering one of your suggestions.)
Good intentions without the direction of Practical Wisdom also have consequences.
The grammar is harder for me to read through than the spelling. Since Drech (presumably) has little difficulty, we should have little difficulty, so stay in his perspective.
IMO.
YMMV.
I think it's harder than it needs to be.
Nobody suspected that Alexander Grey had a weak heart until the night his girlfriend startled him, and after that it didn't matter. --The End
The waifs are the orphans. The Indebted are the minions his charm summons.
Outvoted will suffice ... but my opinion stands.
Starting 6-hr session working on =Shogran's Waifs=. Have to decide how fierce the battle, how much of Shogran's work to reveal, how badly the kids get threatened, etc. I've discarded some ideas as too much for the characters at this point in the story.
Shogran's minions will be called his =Indebted=.

Wet noodle time, Dill. You do see your error, don't you
?
Actually ... I prefer what we have now. It's easier for me to notice and read over than the change in grammar.
Conventions of the age. Literary style, as we know it, was still in diapers.
NOBODY has risen to my wet-noodle challenge.
Thing is, Norton was peacable and amusing, not manic. CCFCCP suggests 'manic' to the uninitiated, not just 'inaccessible plane of reality.'
I owe at least two reviews now. I'll try to do them in the next 18 hours.
I'm under the weather again. One warm, wet day and I'm strepped. I've spent two days in bed and am slowly getting back to work. I'm about halfway into a new version of =Shogran's Waifs= with the hard part in front of me.
I know that my teacher was frustrated about having to tow the line. In the after-school book club he could go off-piste and introduced us to some wonderful literature.

I recall once, getting caught reading 'Brighton Rock' by Graham Greene in class. I had the paperback open inside of the covers of a bigger book, one we were supposed to be reading for the lesson. I was engrossed and didn't notice the teacher walking between the desks, so I got caught. He seemed more pleased than angry, and took the confiscated contraband novel to his desk at the front, where he settled down to read it, whilst I had to get back to the mind numbing dirge that is 'The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, or maybe it was 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' I can't remember.
I didn't think the Hawthorne story was that bad, though I admit I didn't have to read it for class.
I was introduced to LoTR by a student in front of me who was reading it during our English class. I suspect the teacher was pleased enough to see a jock reading Good Stuff for pleasure that he overlooked it.
If you don't want to delete the old one you can re-number it 99 (or whatever) and make it inactive.
But I think the time has come to ask Sol on this one.
CTD is Circling The Drain.
Your example is the triumph of the regulatory state.
Actually, the question was for Amy. Would HH Norton I, a generally peacable fellow, be CCFCCP or something else?
