Valentine's Day
No, I know it's tomorrow, but...
Back in the day, I used to write quite a few Valentine's Day stories, most in The Sentinel fandom. Those stories became fewer and fewer as I left fandom behind. The Best was originally supposed to be a Christmas story but was switched to Valentine's Day because my publisher at that time preferred it that way (and did it take a lot of rewriting to make it so. I mean seriously, why would the airports be jammed on Valentine's Day?). However, once I got my rights back, I returned it to its original Christmas setting, so that's no longer in contention.
Having said all that, things change. This past Christmas, I sent greetings to the list dad of CRVBoy, and although it had been a while since I'd subbed anything to him, he asked if I had a Valentine story I might be willing to give him. Rob has always been super nice to me, so I told him I'd see what I could come up with.
Here you have it, folks, My AI Valentine. It started with a brief snippet of a young man having been gifted an Echo Show. As I expanded it, I realized I had to add a scene from the protagonist's dad's POV, and darn, I like Logan, who really deserved better. I feel like writing about him and his Livy.
Well, we'll see.
Meanwhile, I'm writing another story in the Much Ado About Nothing fandom, one set in the John Wayne movie Hatari!, and a third in the same alternate universe as No One Should Be Alone. It's going to be a busy time. :-)
