Well, I think a persistently no-name character finally let me name her. Hello... Frerene? Frerena? Something like that.

(As I said to Anke, "She didn't like anything I suggested.
And she's not supposed to like it, mind you, but she says it was the wrong sort of dislike."
But I think I've hit upon the right sort of dislike, or she's sick of waiting.)

Now yay for the story where I planned to début her (after a fashion...) being busted probably never to be revived. :(

That doesn't matter, though, because - well, firstly, while I'd planned for Frerene to get a walk-on appearance in that story, it really would have been brief and only one other writer would have been likely to care. :D And secondly, it's of no consequence to her real storyline, which is one that I guess can't be messed up too much by other writers losing interest.

So I don't mind in this case. Still, it always seems to be the way. When I plan lots of cool stuff for a storyboard instead of thinking "eh, I'll go with the flow", that's when antelope apathy strikes...

...And it frustrates me. Much as I generally pretend it doesn't.

In time for Monday (23rd April, St George's day) I've been revamping our Saint George piece with the usual Mutt trademarks: more dragon (aye, we actually had a George article that didn't mention the dragon), archaic language (Middle English poetry translation FTW - what other job lets you do this kind of random thing?) and added lashings of teh artz on every page (I luv you, Wikimedia Commons).

Writing alt text is fun.

I couldn't possibly pass any kind of thoroughly approving and admiring comment on this, nor make any remark either to imply that I am snarfing their RSS feed or to encourage you to do the same.

Also, from the same person or persons, a short story.
