    “You really don’t want to do this, do you?” Nathan grimaced to himself and shrugged, even though Taylor couldn’t see him. “You’re cooking, you get to pick.” “I don’t so much call this cooking,” Taylor replied from the kitchen, accompanied with the sound of spitting fat. “It’s jus’ chicken.” “Mrs Riley used to make the best fried chicken. There weren’t ever nothin’ better to do on a Sunday than turn up at Four Corners to eat lunch, then hang out all afternoon in the truck by the creek.” Once

    I do expect people to be smart enough to do their own research... Sometimes I am disappointed...

    I would need a whiteboard that was a whole room. Trust me, it is possible to have too many ideas. The idea of using genies is cool, but then, there are plenty of other sidelined supernatural creatures. Werewolves and vamps get the attention because they are easy to work with - people know what to expect even if you change the lore a lot. When was the last time we saw someone fall in love with a selkie?
  11. Sasha Distan
    No, Ashlee doesn't know. Partially because what I said during Ladies' Man is true, for a very long time, neither Nate nor Clem saw what happened as rape. Nathan does now, because he has dwelled on it in the back of his mind, but for Clem, it is a moment in the past he has all but forgotten about. Enough good has happened to him that the violence of what Nathan did is superseded by him being a dickhead. Don't worry; I'll be with you every step of the way. Just like Taylor

    thanks very much. I'll admit that it was one of the hardest ones to write though.

    well you'll have to wait until friday to find out!

    Even if you'd read the BCOH series, it wouldn't give you any insights yet into anything that is happening. Don't worry.Ishca will fit in where he should be, he needs to find a place. And he does have his own emotions, it's just that the emotions of others are sometimes very strong!
  18. Sasha Distan
    Ishca's brother is a real person - I assume. Ig is an empath, but not a haptic. Though his odd bursts of claircognizance are useful some of the time.Oh... I wouldn't describe 'freaking out' as what Aki is about to do...
  19. Sasha Distan
    oh do you now?

    Chapter 7 - Aki

    Sasha Distan posted new chapter in Sanctuary

    Aki sat down in front of the wheel and exhaled until there was no air left in his lungs. The senior ceramics lecturer had called in sick, the third year master’s students were at a conference, and the new junior lecturer was so hung-over she had shut herself in the office with a coffee cup the size of her head and put a sign on the door saying she was out to lunch. Aki had spent his entire day babysitting the studio, herding the second years out of the glaze room, finding specialist tools for a

    Aki is a little bit demon - he can't go to hell and doesn't even know about the house. All other questions will be answered in due course, I promise.

    Hanging around the wrong kind of people is Ishca's M.O.!

    There’s a lot that goes on under the surface of normal society. In towns and cities, and private tracts of land across the countryside, there are clubs and parties which only those attending know about. High society functions in swanky private hotels, mafia porn parties in unknown underground rooms, and shooting galleries where even the police would be surprised at the accuracy and variety of those professionals honing their skills for the very highest international bidder. But all of them were

    I'm with Rook on this one - it is how this concept interacts with the growth of your characters which will make this story believable or not. I also believe there is a guilt/attachment element to it. If A loves B was was saved by him, that's a bond which will be hard to let go of in any circumstances. But is A also feels a strong chemical pull towards C (who I'm assuming adores him back) then that will drive a lot of inner turmoil, guilt, longing, and misery for your protagonist. Don't forget to think about C, his feelings and his reactions to the whole thing - because how much must it suck to meet the one and only person you ever want to be with and find that they are mooning over a ghost? Talk about a kick in the Gentleman's Region...

    So, with one chapter left to post what does everyone think Nate's resolution is going to be? Will he apologize to Clem? Will Ashlee shout at him? Will he admit to liking Taylor as way more than a friend? .........
