I ran out of energy on a story I started quite some time ago, so I've started posting the first chapters. Hopefully a few votes and comments will inspire me to get on with it. Tbh it mainly started with a too-tempting alliteration - Spinsters in Space - and went from there. Possibly it's become something a bit too deep so I am out of my depth, but let's see.
Just girding myself for the ending, collecting my thoughts. This stroke story just started from the rendering on the title page, and grew page by page from there really, without much of an overall vision. It's ended up being a story about power.
First of all, the central character is a man who's small - smaller than his daughter and some of her friends. Although he is probably stronger, it nevertheless takes away the usual male physical power base.
Other sources of power are reason, with which his daughter is at least as adept as he is himself, and sex drive/attraction: he's so highly sexed that if a hot girl touches him, he can't stop her escalating things to whatever extent she wants. In this way physical power comes to reside with the girls.
The other ingredient is adolescence and the acquisition of power, from being a child. Oh and sexual curiosity, obviously. 'Obviously' is a word used by teens to express power of course, laying claim to an incontrovertible truth :)
I've reached the end of what I'd pre-written, so things will slow down now, but it will keep going to the end never fear! Spurred on by some kind comments and votes, thanks.
As I wrote it, I thought it was quite amusing, but the voting says not so much. Perhaps it was just my juvenile sense of humour. Anyway I've given it a refresh and redone the timeline, so now there isn't the reversal with the first holiday, it's all linear. Let's see if it helps.
