The Rot Not Extruded

[caper_est]

Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: 600 words.  Final Council Scene.  Is this all-out war with Elfland?  No, because this is not an Epic Series of Doorstops; but I can't blame Fairly Okay Genius for detecting strong signs of it.  I've finally managed to sneak enough noise into his datastream to make up for his being twice as smart as I am.

Now I'm wondering what I'd do, if a publisher told me that they'd take a good shot at Three Katherines of Allingdale, provided only that I bestseller-enable it by reimagining it as Extrudable Epic Doorstops.

Lord of the Blue Flames?

The Mace of Morgander?

The Chronicles of Katherine Garcastle-Honeywoolf de Hautdesert, the Unbearable?

A Song of Peasants and Torches?

 I might not get away with The Wheel of Katherines.
