/lit/ - Literature

Basically my introduction, I am currently completing my first major developmental edit. I'm at 130k words. I'm expecting that to grow to ~165 - 170k once I introduce story elements, and provide greater characterizations, all of which I realized would be gud after doing my first read-through/partial first edit. This character is non-binary, because they will be raised in a very genderless and alien environment. I'm going to reveal them as biologically female about 1/3 of the way through, but that tidbit won't actually change their characterization, as I think it's important to have the characters be who they are free of sex or gender. The other two antagonists are a mentally disable man and a very capable woman.
