I just want to know one thing.

And this is a serious question, too:

Why is Cutler such a goddamn perv?

LOL...I'm sure the breasts bouncing along at eye level don't help matters. I imagine the correlation between sex and power doesn't help matters either.

Indeed he is... I am working on Luna, though I'm mostly just pondering it at the moment. I was doing a little writing earlier, but I'm not sure about it, hence the question at hand. Cutler is just so sexual. The scene I'm playing around with is (of course) a sexual one, but it's kind of different, with some odd dynamics that I'm not sure I want to use. There's just this part of me that wants to account for Cutler and Stella's whereabouts during the hurricane and have it not be sexual. Call it pride or call it stupidity (LOL). I don't want to push the readers' sexual limits, but I have that insane writer's compulsion to remain true to the story and its characters, even if it means pushing a few envelopes. I would prefer to have them weather it separately, maybe, or if together manage to make it just this once not a sexual thing. I don't think it's in the cards, though. Their relationship is too predicated on sex.

I don't tend to do that, keep the stuff that doesn't fit. I'll hold onto it for awhile, but if it looks as though it's not going to make the final cut I usually end up tossing it.

Yeah, it's a weird dynamic. Stella is terrified of hurricanes and Cutler is kind of perving on her fear.

I think it could be done and done well, but I'm not sure I want to write it. Some things are better left on the cutting-room floor.

I guess finding the balance between those two must be quite difficult, so all my best wishes to you! I'm sure you'll find a way with that scene. Good luck! ^_^

Probably. Eventually. I'm quite sucked into this whole metafiction thing. It's running longer than I had originally intended. But isn't that the story of my life?
