Ramblings from the 'goblinn

I'm posting two fragments behind the cut, mostly so they're easy to link to as backstory when I post my Ethan story for the Antique Roman ficathon. These are the two brief scenes featuring Ethan from last year's nano novel-- they hold up surprisingly well, even without the rest of the tale around them. I'm having fun taking my story from a whole new angle now; oddly, having to make it stand on its own has done wonders to the diction and pacing and everything else. I don't feel so bogged down following Everybody I've dragged in-- no documentary here, thanks-- or explaining everything endlessly.

Though maybe I got that out of my system last night....

Anyway, here they are. I'm also taking volunteers to beta this ficathon story-- should have a good completed Part 1 of 3 available on google documents by tomorrow. Send me your e-mail if I don't already have it and I'll add you to the list of people who can see, and mock, said document.

These fragments are fair game for mockery, of course, whether you choose to beta the other or not. Have at.

I'll screen this entry's comments to protect your email address privacy. If I figure out how.
