I'm still not sure there wasn't a real Alex at some point. By the way, here'ssomebody who is writing about a guy with a version of dissociative disorder. It's largely autobiographical, but it's definitely fiction and not memoir.

Well, I think I'm gonna leave it as it is for now -- I kind of like the aspect it gives to the story. Doesn't mean there wasn't an Alex at some point, and I've got a few thoughts on Chris' background that're just swirling around a bit that could come into play later. Things may be complex enough as it is.

Or, y'know, not. Nothing wrong with a bit of extra complexity...

The last two lines gave the game away, though I suppose I should be asking 'which game'.

I like the premise behind this way of writing. It's very fresh, very immediate, and you can sort it all out when you've finished. It gives the reader a lot of interest: both in the story itself, and in the way you write.

The weird thing is that this really isn't the way I usually write. It's kind of interesting, though, and while the story's rougher I'm still happy with it. Knowing that it's so rough helps. There's all sorts of stuff in here that'd normally drive me nuts, but I can leave it go since the thing right now is to get to the end, then go back and fix things up properly.
