For RAWR, a [prequel](discernment)
|
|
|
|
### Brief outline
|
|
|
|
* [o] The slow formation of a crush
|
|
* [o] Falling for anyone who's the slightest bit nice to you
|
|
* [o] Intolerable limerence
|
|
* [o] Limerence as unwanted emotional attraction
|
|
* [o] pining
|
|
* [o] dreaming about just being close, casual affection, etc
|
|
* [o] Not wanting to talk about it b/c afraid of coercion
|
|
* [o] Just try to be the best person you can be for them
|
|
* [.] Except that just makes it all the more intense
|
|
* [ ] Crisis point and denouement
|
|
* [ ] Bounce off each other at some point and the limerence starts to fade
|
|
* [ ] Picture what would have happened had they gotten together.

Told in the form of journal entries after long online conversations, complete with snippets

Goal: 40-50k words

|
(why leave seminary: with church heading toward tending only to the members of the church, Dee felt as though he was leaving behind large swaths of people)
|
|
(why the sense of duty and control: old-fashioned family of blue-collar coyotes - domestic animals being royalty, remember - pushed hard to lift him up)
