BearFic...
I've beaten the first scene into some semblance of readability. Yay.
I need to poke through it again. My Writing Buddy says that it skips through genres a lot, from SF to space opera to farce and back, and he's not sure I'm actually pulling it off as well as I could be doing.
Also, he says my baby dragon is far too cute and "meeps" too much. There's a scene where Bradaigh (the baby dragon) bursts into the room, meeping frantically, and Charlie has to translate for him, and it's got a very "What is it, Lassie? Is Timmy in the well?" feel to it...
Which it's SUPPOSED to have. Because I'm weird and do stuff like that on purpose.
Whether that'll make an editor laugh or roll his eyes, I don't know.
But it should be done pretty soon. And then it'll go out to F&SF and start the rounds...
