elfsGoddess, I hate Cipro. Every time I've ever taken it, it's made me feel so sleepy all the time. Still, I can't complain, I got a lot of housework done this weekend, and I've been working my way through a few stories.
The Comet, a sequel to Mobility, is done, and I'm happy with it. I also tweaked A Fragile Hope, the sequel to A Fragile Dream, and decided that it didn't need anymore. Belle has had her second important insight and that's what the story's about. I also worked on a sort-of sequel to The Visitor, called The Temple, but it's doing that sprawling-out-of-control thing stories will do when they want to be bigger than the point I'm trying to make.
My biggest concern with Belle, Misuko, and Linia, is that I have a huge story, Honest Impulses, set between Honest Question and A Fragile Dream, full of melodrama and robot revolts and a whodunnit I don't quite know how to write. The premise is pretty fun: Linia is still dealing with the transition from low-powered servant sex robot to full-fledged thinking being. Misuko absolutely refuses to let Linia think of herself as "just" a companion robot, so Linia is dealing with being "her own woman," so to speak, when a terribly naive and innocent young lady (who, this being a skiffy story, happens to be the second-best remotely operated vehicles pilot in the planet) develops a serious crush. Oh, and Shandy's from Misuko's homeworld, too. And there's lots of other story-sized coincidences, but really, it's all in good fun. Trouble is, since I really don't know the outcome yet, I don't know what kind of shape Misuko and Linia's relationship is going to be in by the time the Fragility stories get underway. The very fact that they made it all the way through A Fragile Dream without once mentioning Shandy is suspicious, don't you think? (Oh, I could work it in as a one-liner somewhere, just to maintain continuity without too big a retcon, but it would still be a retcon and I hate retcons.)
