Popular Post lawfulneutralmage Posted February 21, 2024 Popular Post Posted February 21, 2024 (edited) So, after nearly six months in the making, I have today submitted the first of a 20 chapter story for moderation. As editor, @Mikiesboy took me on a ride to do a proper job at writing, making me change my too many descriptions into things the characters say and expunge adverbs. The first chapter saw seven vastly different iterations. I cannot thank him enough for going through this patience and attention to detail. Having gotten the technical detail more or less right, @CassieQ whipped me into shape with "the feelings stick", making me point out stuff I thought was obvious and finding issues I hoped nobody would notice. Without her input, the story would be lacking. "Special Circumstances" is about a London police officer who falls in love with a police volunteer officer, called Special Constable in Britain. At the same time, he will be exposed to a secret that shakes the foundations of his world. Expect character growth, drama, boring police work, and action. I was a Special Constable, so the police stuff is genuine. Edited February 21, 2024 by lawfulneutralmage 4 3

lawfulneutralmage Posted March 3, 2024 Author Posted March 3, 2024 I just realize that I go on a business trip this week and thus I will not be able to upload chapters to the moderation queue. So, there will not be one chapter ready for the next weekend. Sorry! 3
