So, working on a Laundry novel yesterday I was crawling over the scrivener files from an earlier one and stumbled on a really promising codename for something ghastly that fits perfectly in the new one—a grisly contigency plan called FORLORN AVALON—only to discover that it never made it into the final as-published novel because fuck how was I to know in 2008 that the 2024 climax to the series would absolutely have to involve Gashadokuro King Arthur?
@girlinblack They're obviously there for the royal wedding of the century—the last but one century, that is. After all you can't spell "necromancer" without romance, right?
@graydon No, I do not require the prior mention—but I like pulling the trigger on Chekhovian guns I left loaded and lying around 15 years and 10 books ago!
