truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (writing: bone key)

progress in one of several possible (and impossible) directions

A new draft of "To Die for Moonlight." 8,500 words. This story is like peeling an onion, if an onion were bigger on the inside than the outside. Although, since I've finally managed the ring composition, perhaps it's more like peeling a Klein bottle.*

I'm going to stop before I make my head hurt.

*The internet is full of truly awesome pictures of Klein bottles. I particularly love that last one for looking so much like a uterus. And here's instructions for making one (a Klein bottle, not a uterus, although you can find instructions for making one of those, too) out of the sleeves of a worn-out shirt.

So, your story is an onion-shaped TARDIS?

If your TARDIS is full of werewolves, yes.

they'd chase the eels out of the hovercraft... even before the knit your own uterus link I was reading it as 'peeing a klein bottle'.

and to be truly cruel, I will just go find a link to the felted bella uterus, in which Edward is represented by red for blood 'because everything I had that sparkled wouldn't felt'... hmmm, can't find the original page from which that quote, but very disturbing pix at http://www.journalfen.net/community/sparklefield/19857.html

The triple-klein-bottle is beyond awsome. Thank you.
