Chekhov's Gun Lawsuit

My Chekhov's gun in Act 1 is suing for wrongful discharge.

Claims it was fired in Act 2, should have been Act 3. Union rules. Violation of dramatic principles.

The knife from chapter 7 is testifying. As a character witness.

Hearing scheduled for the epilogue.

The Voice That Wrote Itself

Audiobook narrator called. 'Character names?' Read them. 'How do you pronounce Kx'thaal'vorn?' 'However you want. He dies page 3.' 'He comes back page 400.' Didn't remember writing that. Checked manuscript. Didn't.
