But said policies changed last month, so Bob may actually get around to writing it someday.)Ĭlick to expand.Sorry, it was cut-and-paste out of old RPG notes of mine, the originals of which have been lost, unfortunately, and I've forgotten the train of thought-I know it was a "poor best guess" I'd assembled from my last rewatch a while back, piecing over grave markers and background computer screens and such, and trying to match it up to real naming conventions-so it's one thing I'm watching for in this rewatch, because I want to check my work and re-correct it to match better. (And yes, this is technically the second fic in a series but since the first is set in Valdemar, it's never actually been written due to Mercedes Lackey's policies on fanfic. Noteworthy for one of the most gonzo-yet-plausible rationales for Quincy's corporate policy ever.

So I did a lot of things, such as emphasizing the breasts, emphasizing the hips with protrusions of separate parts, inserting a horizontal sash on the upper thigh area in trying to create an image of thigh highs… Well, I thought up a lot of things."
