I still haven't dealt properly with your comments on the last thing I sent you. (Need to fix the metaphysics . . .)

Truth is, I don't know what happens next. It's a perfectly good setup for a coming-of-age novel, but I'm not feeling that ambitious, and in the short term I'm not sure what languages goblins speak, either.

I have a first sentence for your switched-sex Cinderella, by the way: "Once upon a time there was a princess who had no desire to marry."
