re: 4 - sadly, for 50,000 words to happen, a plot needs to exist. if only to propel you from one fight scene to another. I've tried without it, and even immense amounts of sugar will not help.
2 : really, everyone should be worried. it's mostly Jafar (poor mild-mannered scholar who thought he was out of politics getting married off and sent to the really bloody COLD, WET northlands. inhabited by bloodthirsty barbarians out of legend. AND THERE IS NO LIBRARY.) going 'augh! Help! Nothing makes sense! And I'm finding myself falling for my husband due to Stockholm Syndrome!' While Eustace is his usual self from VotD. his cousins ran away from home and spent the last few years playing despot dictators somewhere near Spain, with people willing to support this delusion, they won't let him off this bloody boat, and they insist that Susan - who seemed to be the most sane of them - is married to this Spanish nutter. And they've turned into bloodthirsty bastards. Also, will someone get this rodent away from him?
