Never let a character get laid unless you want them to become insufferable. We know all about this particular axiom.
I'd like to add the following: never let a character even get a whiff of the extreme possibility that they might get laid, 'cause they get even worse.
Despite having an abiding contempt for each other, I have two characters on my hands who want nothing more than to get into each other's pants. Any attempts I have made to defer this have been merely stopgaps: they sit back like kids in the back seat and go "Now? Can we do it now? Please?" until I actually consider letting them into bed again, regain my senses with a snap! and forbid it. At which point they sulk.
I may have to introduce some more eligible male types to distract her, because she needs Anyone But Him, and I don't see any nice girl picking him off anytime soon. I mean it. Bad girl! The obnoxious mage boy is not cute! Down!
So, yeah. 10,000 words on this puppy since Wednesday, 1900 today, and it's still not letting me out of its clutches. When I asked for a book that would actually write maybe I should have been careful what I wished for. At this rate, I might have this sucker done by the end of March. I may fail school that way too, though. :/
