Writing Log

penthius freewriting, "Blood Clot: Fantasy"
Did 3 critiques of Critters (http://www.critters.org) stories to get Vicesteed up and into the critique queue tomorrow: societal outcasts turn themselves into walking poison so they can kill enough people to bring the earth's population levels down; Athena is forced to walk the earth as a mortal; and the USA's need for more children leads to the rape and forced impregnation of the main character. A cheery bunch, this lot.
