jazzfishAh, the lovely country of Fakeistan, located (and I quote) "just south of South Africa." Thanks, Dan. That made my morning.
(As opposed to God Saves the Titanic, which just weirded out my early afternoon.)
Second and final workshop today. I really didn't know what to expect going into this one... with the first story I knew (mostly) where it was weak. This time... it could have been "this is horrible, it makes no sense, rewrite the whole thing" or it could have been "fantastic, there's one or two tiny details but nothing big." Responses were mostly leaning toward the latter, which was a pleasant surprise. Only a couple complaints about the lack of plot, and (as usual) I need to work on developing ye characters a bit more. Enough people Got It (and apparently enjoyed getting it) that I'm happy with the big picture. Revisions tonight, and maybe then I'll post it so y'all can tear it apart.
It's an open secret that I consider Agyar to be the Best Book EVAR. I sweartoGod it's a coincidence that the creepy bitch in my story is named Laura, though.
