WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

Since Monday night! I got inspired and decided to get to work and continue until I was done, and here it is!

[ladygeryon]

Oh wow, that's impressive! What's it about? [She leans closer to get a better look at the first page.]

[drladysounds]

It's romance with some urban fantasy in it. Just a little something I thought up.

[The first page seems to set things up. The prose is compelling, at least it's encouraging to take a look further inside. Looks like Shelley is a competent enough writer, although there are some purply-prose sentences in there!

Keep reading?]

[ladygeryon]

[Oh, the fantasy bits are definitely attractive to Nira.]

Sounds interesting. Do you mind if I take a closer look?

[drladysounds]

Go ahead! Be my first reader!

[The first few pages afterwards are good! But the longer Nira reads, the more uncomfortable it feels. There's too much detail. It really feels like she's inside someone's head to the point where it feels invasive, weird, and so wrong. It doesn't help the romance receives a lot of focus, and it seems to be leading to racy content. Oh, geez.

It's impossible to go beyond like page 50 because of how intense and unnerving it gets. This is completely unpublishable despite being of quality!]

[ladygeryon]

[Yeah, she has to put it down quite early.]

...is this based on personal experience? There's...quite a lot of vivid detail.

[drladysounds]

[Shelley smirks]

I wish! It's all my imagination.

[ladygeryon]

Really? I definitely felt like I was intruding a bit too much with what I read. [A pause] I guess some people might not mind it as much.

[drladysounds]

Literature is supposed to be vivid!

[Or so she has heard. That's no excuse for this, Shelley]

[ladygeryon]

Well, I guess I haven't read much in this genre...though I'm pretty sure there are different levels of vividness you could use here.
