I don't know why, but when people tell me I got Ted right it makes me smile extra hard. THANK YOU!

I didn't really do a prequel per se. Glittering is set slightly post-Risks, and very slightly after Families opens (it starts on Christmas, and Glittering is set on New Year's Eve).

But other than what Glittering tells you about the state of their relationship at that time, there is nothing of the plot of Families in it. Glittering isn't precisely PWP, but it's maybe... theme+porn, no plot.

Families actually has some plot in it. I realized that endless floating on a sea of sex and love can only sustain a story for so long. ;)

Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy the series! I'm loving writing it.
