Wow! - and I didn't even have to pay anyone a penny. wink

Yeah, well, you see, after Kidnapped!, the Muse went on a work-to-rule kick and refused to write anything *I* wanted to work on. I tried to get her interested in FoDV and MiseryII, honestly I did, but she wasn't having any of it. So, in the end, I had to give in and let her write what she wanted, which was a rewrite of one of her favourites scenes in the series. As it happens, it's also one of my favourites, so it's really not such a hardship. I just wish she'd told me what I was supposed to do with the story after that scene was written. frown

Anyway, I took her out to the garden yesterday and had a serious talk with her while weeding the patio. The upshot is that she's deigned to let me in on the plot for the rest of this story (which will hopefully be fairly short, but don't tell her I said that), and then she might just let me write one of the sequels. Hasn't told me which one, of course, but we can't have everything, I guess. <shrug>
