Archive-title: Aimee - a - Introduction


        It's been a long time since I've released a notably new story 
to the 'net.  No real reason for that other than that I've been 
really busy in life and haven't had all that much time for the 'net.

        However, somewhere along the way I got the idea in my head to 
write a story entirely without using the very "to be."  Just a short 
story.  "Just a short story."

        Trouble is, as always, I liked the characters too much.  I 
ran with it.  The first story is still entirely in E-prime, but I 
dropped that requirement after the first chapter.  So I wrote wrap 
and kept going.

        Ten chapters.  Well, nine and an intermission between 
chapters four and five.

        This is not a Journal Entry.  It's something not so entirely 
different, and I had a lot of fun writing it.  As for The Journal 
Entries, well, I've got a few new ones hiding somewhere on my 
harddrive.  (In fact, a quick look at W4W shows that I've got 41 
unreleased.  Wouldn't you like to know... :-))

        _Aimee'_ is dedicated to Tom and Tasha.  Two people who don't 
know each other, but who, in their own ways, are the parents of this 
tale.

                Elf !!!
