Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
SUSAN!
Nope, I have abandoned that idea as more suitable for short stories. I couldn't deal with a whole novel on succubi. Too limiting.
(blink) The ghost in "Matty Groves" is an incubus. Limiting, how?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Well, I just wasn't finding the motivation to write the whole damn thing from a sexual POV. Made me feel squirmy and all-too Laurell K. Hamilton, ya know? And the succ would've been the main character, and I wanted to go beyond just sexual power.

Ah. The incubus in MG isn't about sexual power at all - he's about power and control in life, that got so twisted and fucked up, he couldn't bear to relinquish it even in death. Not even remotely the same deal.
Carry on.

I believe her brain damage, being fairly similar to mine, might make that process problematic. Because I'm spatially impaired...I uh, kinda wouldn't want to be my firearm examiner.Like Spinal Tap drummers, I think. She gets around better than I do in many other ways, though, but to be honest, I don't have it in me to write ballistics right now, anyway. So nobody's using their guns so I don't have to follow the casings all over heck and back. OK? Maybe next time.

That's what I was wondering. It's one thing just being a lousy shot (and they do exist), it's another thing having a functional reason for not being able to fire a handgun. I'm wondering if some kind of stability assistance (being allowed to rest the gun on a ledge or something attached to a wheelchair arm) could help? And even if it would help, if the rules for qualifying/licensing would allow it? You've definitely thrown your protagonist in deep water there!
