Finally have some free time to reply here... the parental visit has been hectic and unpredictable (like my mom is these days... well, maybe not hectic but certainly unpredictable).
I wanted to clarify the NaNoWriMo thing: this was a NaNoWriMo novel, back in 2007. Right now, I'm trying to fill in all the gaps left from making 72,000 words (I think that's how I wrote that year). I wrote a lot about Rhea and not so much about the boys, and writing about them is the main concern here. Most of what is up now was written back then. I've come up with some more backstory since, but the whole story is nowhere near finished, and I doubt it will be before I want to start posting. I am going to clean up and tighten up the first twelve chapters - make that eleven since I'm cutting chapter two and redistributing that information throughout. Then I plan to post one chapter a week, and write more in the interim. I find I just can't finish a whole story before posting - it's not how I roll.
A problem I have to grapple with is that the story is in so many places now that people won't want to wait, and will miss the best version if they find it elsewhere. I could repost at those other sites (including here) - it's something I'll have to think about.
