The Joys of Writing

I'm trying to switch back over into writing mode right now.  Got some stuff down on paper, not much but it took me hours to get a very little because I wanted it to sound just right.  Its an opening bit for a longer story.

One of these days I'll be able to write short stories again.  In nineth grade my English teacher posted plot hooks and made us

So yes, hyena fans, there will be characters for you to enjoy.

Whoo hoo!

I'll give you Changing Breed to read, which has their 3rd ed treatment, where they aren't the bastet's ugly cousins that nobody likes. There's also info on most of the characters mentioned there.

The part that's probably most interesting in third ed treatment is that they have very rigidly defined rules based on gender. females are the leaders and warriors and rarely leave their birth clan. Males are the mystics and storytellers and almost always leave their clan to join a new one. Females get a shitload of Rage, not much Gnosis. males get lots of Gnosis, not so much Rage.

A handful of Ajaba in each generation will be inversions, having their statistics switched (women with high Gnosis, males with high rage) and are considered destined for greatness... or infamy. Kisasi and Shari are both inverted.
