Fic progress

Chapter 24 of Arctic Raoul typed up, in one long session (though as yet unproofread or edited); I have struggled repeatedly to find a suitable title, having gone through A Fellow-Foreigner (too close to the references to fellow-travellers in the first paragraphs), Starved and Semi-Conscious (a quote from the chapter itself, but not an element I want to emphasise to that degree), and Lost in Translation (too reminiscent of the Bill Murray film), and am currently on A Slip in Translation, which sums up the main twist sufficiently well without giving anything away. (It is implied in the text, and I hope apparent, that Lancard makes a mistake in his Norwegian comprehension and jumps to the conclusion that the starving wanderer in this remote place is by default a Frenchman...)

Since it ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger I found myself reading on into the next chapter, which is always a good sign. And that one, which is essentially some very overdue R/C fluff, is actually good, I think :-)
