Catherine's husband will live!

[luzula]

I'm so glad I made that post asking for writing advice: thank you all for the brainstorming help! One of the comments dislodged an idea for me, and now I know how to solve my plot issue without killing Catherine's husband. But I will still get the required drama, and good character and relationship development! \o/ Actually it will be much more interesting this way.

I love this aspect of writing longfic: when I was writing my previous longfic, the one where I had to re-plot the course of the war, it happened several times that I was stuck on the plot: I had an effect that I wanted, or a desired outcome, but I had no idea how to achieve it. But with some brainstorming help from my beta readers, I always finally did, and it was so satisfying.

And here I'd already gotten over him being dead. LOL.

Glad you found a way around it!

Hee. It's not that I think readers would mourn him, but my solution will lead to character development for him, as well! And I wasn't really happy with the solution of killing him off.
