Well, it took me a solid year: I started writing it last July. I think I'll be lucky to post the final version within a year, since it's a bit much to expect my betas to turn it around quickly.

It'll be fun to be done, though: this is the story I've written with the broadest appeal, since it's a Narnia novel set just at the end of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Fandoms come and go, but nearly everyone's read Narnia.

That sounds interesting Consuela, I look forward to the final posting!

I look forward to the final posting!

Oh, me, too!

I know, WIP happens; it's just frustrating.

Great article on fanfiction in, of all places, Time: [link]

I love the gentle understatement:

A lot of alien plants turn out to produce pollen with powerful aphrodisiac effects. You'd be amazed.

And never even mind the fucking witches!

Is "I [fucking] hate witches" canon or fanon?

Canon. Woefully overused, but canon.

I love sex pollen.

My favourite is angsty sex pollen where the pollened guy really doesn't want to do it, but then through his reluctance realises that the chosen partner is actually into it themselves.

Or, maybe when there's been bunches of UST and now it's going to be hella awkward.

Or, really, when there's sex pollen.

I'm with Dana.
