I feel like the rudest pig in the world for not replying sooner. I dropped off LJ for two months just before Christmas and only now woke up enough again to get back. Anyway, talking of fic recs, I kept meaning to mention two more to you - the short stories by Sandrine (Entangled comes to mind as a Guy/Robin/Marian afterlife plot, but there are others, including nice non-slashy Guy and Robin, on her LJ page). And for racier stuff with a touch of black humour, look up Tryst by unsentimental_f (but be warned, the rest of her Guy/Robin fics are quite violent). And finally, Everything is a Choice that I mention above is now complete on ffnet and - hurrah! - concludes with a deliciously romantic slashy twist (and she is planning a sequel!) As someone who has, up to this point, only written Guy/girl (Marian or Meg) stuff with only tiny bits of smut, I fully sympathise with the challenge of writing sex scenes: those were the parts I left until last and writing them felt not unlike pulling teeth - but as a reader I so appreciate the effort of others writing those! And I hope that you do tweak your would-be sequel into a story that you feel like posting, because like you say, there is not nearly enough Guy/Robin reading matter in this world ;)
