New one-shot story: Positions Of Authority
Added 2019-06-25 04:17:11 +0000 UTC...I did not expect this one to be eleven thousand words.
Let's just call it one of those (hopefully) value-for-pledge postings: a self-contained Mature comedy about the Bearers discovering that their names have become euphemisms -- but not the exact things which they're euphemisms for. In the blog post where I asked for suggestions on the title, I openly called it a Really. Stupid. Idea. and just hoped I could make it work. Whether I actually succeeded... well, the votes and comments will be rolling in soon enough and given that I probably just wrote myself into an insomnia attack, I'll probably be awake for most of them.
I wrote 11k in about ten hours, which included two power blackouts and stupidly skipping a meal. I should just fall over now.
I sort of wish I could.

Just reading this lead-in made me chuckle, but I hope you are OK, don't overdo things please.
