Whew.

My Yuletide story is done. I'm deeply dissatisfied, because it's actually just the beginning of a story, but I'd have to wait until *next* Yuletide to get that done. Someday, I want to write the Great American Alien Invasion Novel, but probably not this year. (Yes, it is a fascination of mine. Is that so wrong? Today in B&N I saw a new paperback novel, the conceit being that the government is secretly selling humans as sex slaves to alien races. The cover spiel said that it was the beginning of a new series about slavery, rebellion, and -- not a direct quote, but good enough -- the triumph of the human spirit. I didn't buy it, but now I wonder if I'm not morally required to do so.)

Darn my eyes, I can't remember. Surely Amazon must carry it -- and how many results can there be on Amazon for "alien sex slave"?

As it turns out, over 21,000. That is deeply disturbing. But! It was the third result.
