bloodyrosemccoyOkay, okay, the ginger Klingon is less irritating now.
I could have done without the ginger-Klingon sex, though.
The idea of introducing Pilot to Gypsy, however, has given me an excellent twist for an upcoming Doctors!verse novel. When I return to a sci-fi ruining state of mind,* the medical saga of Shipmonster G. Space!Kraken,** already inspired by an aspect of Gypsy, gets an upgrade. It hasn't made me cackle before now. I love it when I cackle.
Speaking of medical drama, I can't stop writing it even in high fantasy, it would seem. You rarely hear, "There will be a slight delay in our world-saving Quest on account of our hero's recovery from open-heart surgery" in these stories. I'd like to see the Houses of Healing deal with a character whose heart has just exploded. THAT'S RIGHT, YO, MY NOT!ELVES ARE WAY COOLER THAN YOUR ELVES.
Damn, I love this hobby. You wish yours was half so much fun.
*I oscillate between sci-fi and fantasy moods pretty regularly.
**Another placeholder name. It takes me YEARS sometimes to come up with good names.
For the record, the G stands for Gamera.

He also maybe used to be vaguely turtle-shaped, but, well, that was before he matured into a giant space kraken.
Have you read the Old Man's War series? There's a group of genetically engineered special-forces humans who can work in vacuum; they are leathery rocket turtles with weird senses of humor. They call themselves the Gamerans.
