another update

I've posted the next chapter of AGL. I actually drafted most of it at the same time as the last chapter (and one small section was written weeks ago), but only now have I had the chance to polish it and get it up.

The next chapter is started, maybe half finished. It's somewhat transitional in nature and those are always hard for me, so it may be a little while. But perhaps not. Or perhaps I'll be so sucked into the new Gabaldon that I won't get any chance to write at all for a few days!

I have just R&R. You have answered some nagging questions here and I am so grateful. The story is flowing so well. Congratulations!

Thanks! I thought you might catch the bit about the spectacles. It had never occured to me before reading your work that he would be irritated about having to depend on them, but of course he would be.

"his"/"my" -- I think you're right that it would flow better that way. The perils of writing without an editor!

The chapter is wonderful :) It occurred to me after I reviewed that there's a bit of A Squall/Rinoa thing going on- Sam and Liss are getting the chance that the people before them didn't have (with Paine and Nooj representing Laguna and Julia. Baralai even kind of fills the role of General Caraway). I realize the theory doesn't quite fit, but still, it's cute.

Thank you! And thanks for the review. I thought you might catch that little reference.

Interesting parallel you draw. It's not something I was doing conciously, but I certainly see where you're getting it. There are only so many grand themes in literature, and they tend to show up in all kinds of places. Even in video game storylines and in fanfic. ;)
