Is that including the bit that got eaten?

[cassaclyzm.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's Bit That Got Eaten included. A whole night's worth of rather painstaking writing, down the tubes. But I think I managed to grasp most of what I liked about it in my summary, so I'll (eventually) be able to re-create it to some degree.

*big sigh of relief*

You're not going to have any chapters involving alien-administered alien probes, are you? This being kid-lit, I wouldn't think it would be kosher.

[cassaclyzm.livejournal.com]

Nope. No alien probe scenes, honest. Besides, I don't think Paul or Casey would be able to handle traumatization like that. (I'm throwing enough at them as is, I think.)

Good point, I'd hate for you to do anything more to Paul & Casey.

Plus, I'm not so sure I could handle reading about alien probes, especially administered to children.

Yeah, that would be... um... not quite of the "tone" I want to maintain for this particular book. *laughs*

[diamondfemme.livejournal.com]

Wise plan.

...for this particular book.

*eyebrow raise*

Well, in some of my other stories (all of which include characters over the age of 20, thanks) it's quite possible that activities of an anal variety will take place.

But you know - time and place for everything, etc.
