I’m really curious about how that will go. As I said several chapters ago, I kinda want more Ben-related angst, because I like how you write it and how it shakes up the B/J dynamic. I’d also like it if something happened in Brian and Justin’s (internal) world and made them unable to focus as much on the external events with Ben…because life is like that sometimes.

Oh dear, you mean PLOT? I was thinking about trying plot, but I just don't know. ;)

This is when I was sure, on the first reading, that they were going to have a confrontation about the rings (and other stuff associated with them, of course).

I wrote about fifty different things with the rings. This was the first one that worked for me.
