The Author Comments
I believe this story was my reaction to the awards thing in fandom. At the time, those most pimping awards (where S&H stories had to compete against stories in other fandoms) were happily emphasizing that awards were about popularity, not merit. I couldn’t understand why that was a good thing (and still don’t – don’t get me started on awards, or I’ll never shut up). And, by God, it was important that S&H stories get voted for, so everyone could see how popular S&H was, compared to the truly popular fandoms, like The Sentinel. Spouses – in any kind of relationship – can get really competitive with each other (and jealous of each other), when it comes to Who’s Right, or Who’s More Capable. I don’t remember that much about this story, but it was an expression of situations between spouses that I’ve been witness to. And I was trying to say something about merit (though I don’t remember what happens.) [1]
