I have a large number of gaming/fanfic NPCs who... barely exist, as some names and half-remembered stories. I think I have a little notebook somewhere, with real paper and ink...
I also have a long file of all my characters (even the ones who were cut from the final version!) and their names, for the Lord Alchemist series. I should probably do something like that for QoR...
There is probably about half to 3/4ths of Queen of Lilies! (or possibly Ship of Tools, which would be a better sequel-title... I almost never get a good title immediately.) I need to re-read it sometime and see if it's going to need a huge overhaul, or if I should just accept that some of the plotlines are not going to tie up at the same time.
...don't all authors do this? (I know Ursula Vernon does...)
...also, when it's late, I abuse the "..." so much.
