About this project: This is a writing exercise, the point of which is to produce as much story as quickly as possible. Each section is somewhat edited before I post it, but I only give it the most basic first-pass editing -- typos, awkward phrases, obvious continuity mistakes. Once they're posted, I won't edit them further. Even if it turns out I want to change something major, I'll just retcon from wherever I happen to be at the time. Quantity over quality is the name of the game.
That being the case, I've given myself permission to suck. That doesn't mean I think the story sucks; just that I'm not going to worry whether it does. The premise is pretty cheesy, James is kind of a Sue, and the plot will undoubtedly end up full of holes. And that's okay.
See, what one tends to forget once one has a couple novels under one's belt is that a first draft always sucks, to some degree. I'm doing this exercise to train myself out of expecting to write in the first pass what I've previously taken five rewrites to produce. To stop obsessing on expectation and just have fun writing. As long as I'm having fun, I win.
Criticism is welcome, but I won't be implementing any changes to posted material until the whole story is finished. Speculations and suggestions are also welcome, but keep in mind that if you give me an idea and I use it, you don't get to say I stole it. So if there's any chance you'll want to use an idea in your story, I reccommend you keep it to yourself. Finally, you are welcome to do anything you like with these characters and settings except claim them as yours. In other words, fanfic/fanart are fine even if they're not fannish. You wanna run James over with a steam roller and turn Ynyr into your own Sue's wibbly-uke cuddlebunny? Go right ahead, just link to this index post and all will be well.
