Synopsis: The Tale: Original no longer valid due to character interference and failure to cooperate with author

I'm not actually sure at this point. The characters are running amok and not doing at all what I planned for them. One, the Duke's son, has three fiancées that I didn't know existed - and they are sisters ... go figure. Another character quit the day job I had planned for him and I have no replacement for that position: thanks Darius 'ol pal. And the Merchant's Guild - keeeriiist almighty I think they all interned at Worldcom, Enron, AIG, and are Bernie Madoff's relatives.

Don't even get me started on the Elves - you know how uncooperative those pointy eared sons-a-bitches can be prancing around acting all superior and what not. It's their in-your-face behavior that incites the neo-skinchin Dwarves. But when a dwarf has an axe to grind with you - you know there's going to be trouble spelled with a capital T.

There's now an evil destroyer witch is named N' Ancee Belosi that's brewing up this mega nasty spell that effects everyone's health and coin bag ... you know bad things are going to befall the kingdom. I'm sorry, I'm going to delete her, I don't care how much it hurts my word count - leaving this character in makes it seem like porn.

This writing with abandon is letting the patients run asylum. Chris Baty may have to rethink his premise.
