May. 9th, 2010 06:45 pmCouldn't make TCAF as planned - green_trilobite has a cold. Went to the Pulp Show yesterday, though, and got some paperbacks, including Frederic Brown's The Lenient Beast, which I'm saving for last. Today I finished reading the other Brown I picked up, Compliments of a Fiend; it's one of his Am and Ed Hunter series (uncle and nephew carnies/private eyes). I've become used to reading novels of this period and finding the sexual mores more complex than they are remembered as being - but this one was rather interesting; (spoilers)( Read more... )

May. 9th, 2010 07:15 pmTrying to work up PI's next episode - I've reached a break in my advance plotting and have to figure out a bridge to the next plot development a few weeks from now.
Stuff I need to write: Talk more about the squids, show the Chips again and establish the existence of at least one tranq gun. Sid and Patrick finally have a tiff about their relationship (and possibly the sleeping-with-the-enemy aspect of their working for organizations with different aims). Carl starts co-operating, and possibly
interacts with the rest of the crew a bit more; also, another of his on-line confessions.
Other: Start building up a library of images/designs to use for when they finally revisit the surface.
Research/Handwaving: graffiti in Portuguese; ships and oil-rig designs; papermaking; what sort of samples one might take from sealife; Angola.
Stuff I don't know yet: The Captain's name; actual names of the organizations the characters work for.
