Sometimes, I really hate it when my friends remind me of why I keep them around. In the case of Joanne, it's because she's completely, utterly insane-and so the idea of a fighter pilot named 'Hortensia' is one of the more normal things that happens around her.. Thankfully she also immediately suggested 'Ten' as a nickname, therefore saving my metaphorical bacon from a very real, highly polysyllabic word.Incidentally, Ten was the hardest character to get the initial, pre-release POV right for. It went through no less than three separate versions before settling on this, which I'm still not 100% happy on. If, by some bizarre chance, this is the first thing you read here, I'd highly suggest Kim's page, or at least Sadira's as a better place to begin exposure to my writing. (Or, you know, maybe Episode One, but we wouldn't want to be predictable, would we?)
