The whole two-different-threads-of-conversation thing is getting really confusing, so I'm replying to both your comments here. :P
You're right. Dammit, you're going to infect me with your backstory syndrome...I really need to figure out who these authors are. Most of them are the 'batshit crazy' types I think, but once I write in this report it'll be a lot of scepticism.
Oh dear! If I'm the sort who doesn't put enough thought into the finer details of stories, then you're the sort who puts far too much. You'll get yourself in a right pickle here, if you're not careful. :P Social understanding of sexuality is a really tricky one...most people I read seem to let themselves off the hook with 'ok, Narnians were completely hedonistic and Telmarines were completely prudish'. But that drives me up the wall...SURELY it was a bit more complicated than that.
If you find yourself getting too preoccupied with the events of PC, it might be better to write them as a sort of prequel-cycle rather than trying to tie them in as memories to VODT.
Pirates I can follow (Pug's close enough) but a Telmarine empire? That's got me curious. And how would Narnia avoid getting flattened by Calormen in a war? Unless said empire comes into play, they're much too small to take on Calormen.
Haha, I suppose that's what you get when you get when you have two emotionally illiterate Kings in the same bed together. They really aren't good at the whole 'relationship' part, are they?
