Ah what work!

After I killed the game company decided to rewrite the fiction for a more adult audience.

There were things that in modern-day game fiction you cannot explore, but in something meant for adults you can. So just finished draft zero of book one of the trilogy. It is a far superior thing, even if I need to edit and rewrite this a few times.

So some issues?

If you can see time, that should affect you.

The backstory included rape and other forms of abuse, not something you can do in a piece meant for gaming. Sure as hell you coud in the 1980s, but not anymore. In some ways publishers have gotten stupidly conservative and head in sand.

Where did I get the idea to do this to a male character? The few men I transported who were raped, as well as child abuse.

But this is now a very adult book.

And while the arc remains, book tittles may change too.

be a case that can be resolved by going to a different publisher.
