Not quiet, although I am very familiar with gluten-free diets. My son has numerous food allergies and sensitivities. Among other things we avoid is gluten.
Jimmy doesn't have Celiac's Disease/Coeliac's Sprue or any other allergy or sensitivity to gluten or even just to wheat. (For those not familiar with the term 'gluten,' it is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. And because of the danger of cross-contamination, most oats are suspect, as well.)
The first draft of the story is now about 95-98% complete, but it is a very rough first draft. I usually write my stories from start to finish, but the climax of this story was so clear to me that I wrote it first, and then wound up writing other scenes in anything but start-to-finish order. And I rather fear that that would be painfully obvious to anyone reading the first draft of the story. I'll need to do a lot of editing before it is even beta-worthy.
I never set any deadlines for my fanfic writing -- this writing is my stress relief, and deadlines would create stress -- but I am hoping to have at least a BR-worthy version by the end of this coming weekend.
Thanks again for the help.
Joy,
Lynn
