oakenguyJust went over 10,000 words. (10,072, not that the numbers are etched onto my retinas or anything). Woo. I may not be able to do anything about the elections, my friends' awful job situations or the rain, but at least I can warp the first couple chapters of Genesis badly enough to make fundies' heads explode, should they ever read it.
It's an odd thing: the main character in one of my plot threads is a scumbag named Mod who I started out using just for some catharsis (and also because the whole online chatroom/IM world is too fun to resist sticking into the story). I mean, seriously, he's what the Angel writers call "schmuck bait", and every page I type brings him closer to his Awful Fate.
So why is this twit far and away the most fun character to write?
