Update for «Aleks Meets Inga»

Okay! «Aleks meets Inga» is in the works, each chapter in it is told from a different point of view. It's not going to be for younger audiences (in part because Aleks is incredibly blunt and straightforward, others because of the violence), so that's something to keep in mind. Over the years, I've written and read several variants of vampire. My favorite to write are gray-skinned human-like creatures that can (kind of) go out in the sun. The least favorite kind to write (because of the insustainability of the character type) is the kind Inga is… violent, driven by food and sex, and can't go without either or stay in UV light for more than ten minutes. Aleks, Chloe, and Eve are going to, after an encounter with Inga, find a way to kill her and get back to their own world. A couple from Inga's world jumps ship with the trio resembling Eve and her boyfriend in a key way, and Aleks gets some much needed exposition from his… team, both of which provides some explanation for why he does what he does and says what he says… the whole "This guy's a raging asshole" excuse has a limited number of uses before you need answers, and real ones.

Alright, so a few things… first off, Aleks's name isn't going to be «Александр "Aleksandr"» it's going to be «Алексей "Aleksey"». I originally wanted him to be called "Sasha" for a while, but… eh, just didn't work out. Anyway, I had to miss the Megaplex Fur Convention, but a friend of mine went (it was incredibly last minute, what kept me from going, they were on the way to my house to pick me up for it-style last minute). Anyway, when he came back, we were talking and he suggested the name "Aleksey" when it came up. I figured "Why not?" because, even though his name full name was dropped in the first book… he's Russian and there was some… anti-Russian sentiment in some people he was around as a kid. No major changes with him. Secondly, the first three named characters in the vampire world, I had made them for something else… whether or not I'll ever finish that is beyond me, but I may end up posting it to my Fur Affinity page, if nothing else. Lastly… well, I'm on Chapter 13 now… you'll see when it comes out.
