Eeep!  
Okay, I really am nearly done with WaDaDM part 3. Honest! The only thing I'm worried about is that I'm introducing an original character. She's not staying for long, probably won't make it to part 4 to be brutally honest (or then again will she? *eg*) Anyway, because of the setting I've ended up drawing on my own personal experience for her introduction scene and that's when it hit me. Is Eilidh a Mary-Sue? She's not me, she's not even an idealised me, but she's in the same situation I found myself in time and again when I was in Marrakech...

Gah! I *really* need to get this part beta read methinks....

It's probably fine, like I say, she's not me, it just so happens I did the same things in the same city. The best writing comes from personal experience I guess...

Yay! I'll beta if you like - means I'd get to see it sooner!

Your time in Marrakech...? Sounds interesting! Do tell...

Thanks Sam - I'll be taking you up on that I think, maybe later today or tomorrow?

As for Marrakech, I love Morocco but it's perhaps not the best place for a twenty-something woman on her own... *grin*

Yep, look forward to it!

I shall enquire no further. Though apparently Eilidh will give some clues!
