#Spanner #AmEditing update: I woke up extra early this morning with, you guessed it, story ideas, this time for Spanner In The Works chapter 35, which I thought I'd already finished. The first had perky reporter Amanda's daughter and Sia's stepdaughter Petronella (Pet for short) beg Sia to save Amanda, who right now is a mind slave, in effect giving her *another* mission. Sia promised her she will. Now she has to. (In Chapter 42 she does.)
The other story idea I woke up with is what happens next in Chapter 35: Sia's reunion with her "Evil Stepmother" Drusilla (who in another fairytale motif is also the Wicked Witch of the West to Sia's Dorothy). Sia's been working to make Drusilla love her more truly than any of Dru's actual daughters (she even tells her sister Desiree, who hates her mother, "We need her to love us"). The tight hug and delirious kisses mean it's working beautifully so far.
After I made those additions, I did some cutting down and a darling massacre to get Chapter 35's HTML file under 45KB and made some belated continuity corrections. Now I *can* declare Chapter 35 complete. It took me a while, but it was a complete mess when I started on it.
Now I've started on the mess that was Chapter 36. Some scenes are now in Chapter 37 and the remaining scenes have an order.
