Well, I've tested positive for COVID again (this will be the third time). Given that and past experience I do not expect to be very productive until I get over it. Which is a bummer 'cause I already have about half the next chapter of August and April done.
This chapter ended up no-sex, just the way things go. It's hard to keep having new stuff for the same people and I want it to remain very focused.
In case anyone has wondered, the title (and character names) are indeed a play on May-December. The gap here isn't quite so wide.
This is it, I have grown tired of the story Captivating, I just really don't have anything more to say about Linda Nallen and Aneeka.
I have begun working on an actual outline for a story, expect many of the same themes (especially as it too takes place on Allland) but this should actually be headed somewhere rather than just being an excuse to string together sexual escapades.
Okay, this is somewhat humorous - at least I think so.
I added the whole couples-feeding-each-other thing as an interesting cultural detail. I had no idea how difficult that would be to continue with, it's not something I actually either enjoy doing or even particularly writing, but now I feel like I'm stuck with it.
Actually I'm surprised I've managed to get as much done with this story as I have. I only really started with the nucleus of chapters 2 and 3. Actually only the scene with Nicko in chapter 2, I knew there was a woman named Aneeka, that she was very nearly a slave but not any idea of her role. I knew it took place at a 'training center' - I did know from the beginning that Linda was in something very like the eventual prisoner rack, though the elevator platforms were a complete surprise later -, that Linda had been taken from Earth. I then had to come up with all of chapter 1 to even make it a story.
All of this is to say, I suspect I'm nearly done with this story even though it's not anywhere near a conclusion. We'll see. I do have fragments of other stories on Allland - that sky description is just too useful not to revisit.
