New SV story

Hard to believe. I must kick this thing off my hard drive, watch the last few episodes of S5, and start work on other things.

Iolokus: The Birthening

In lieu of a commentary track, I thought I'd post parts of the emails mustangsally78 and I exchanged soon after she proposed what would become Iolokus. Sadly, I don't have the initial emails, only my replies. At least I quoted a lot. Herewith, portions of the correspondence labeled "As Sure as Eggs Is Eggs," December 1997. Original summary by MS is black. MS's replies to me are in blue. RT is in red. (I'm Heather Chandler!) I think there's interesting stuff here, about the false starts and surprises of writing, collaboration, feminism and reproduction, and (for cathexys) intertextuality, both with fannish and nonfannish texts.
