Lineage is a big deal in this WIP. Provenance. Roots. So, early on, subconsciously, things that are wrong were planted. These are things that shouldn’t have been there, geographically, culturally. They shouldn’t have been this, shouldn’t have been that. Their name, their appearance, their existence itself–all wrong.
Amidst the wrongness, I am still trying to research each fabric/bloodline’s correct form so that the incorrect ones stand out.
The incorrect ones, despite their incorrectness (wrongness) exist. WTF are the correct, righteous ones going to do about it?
In the end, I did find a “method writing” path to Christine. She didn’t start out very “like me,” but now I feel strongly that GOSHDAMNIT she deserves her place on this planet, and so do the others.
