Nano, the story so far
Nov. 2nd, 2012 01:05 pmI really should have put more thought into this sooner.
The idea of writing a parody seemed fairly obvious. The Honorverse seemed a good target.
So I came up with a plot and a concept and wrote 2500 words, and it's not bothering to be funny. Nor is it all that interesting. Part of it, I think, is that I don't have the right characters.
I should start again, with a full concept in mind, but the rule of Nano is not to edit. At least not edit what I've written. So that means I have one other option.
Edit the universe. I think the only option is to blow the ship up, and dump my character on a brand new ship.
