It's the execution I'm a bit worried about because the explicitness comes from characters who are not particularly refined in their language. Marek is a soldier who's risen above the normal expectations of someone from his (peasant-farmer) class because he's damn good at his job, Ani is a prostitute and Lind is a lad who was apprenticed to a blacksmith at the age of eleven and had a really bad childhood. None of them are going to be delicate in their choice of language. They think in four letter words. I can time it down n problem, but I want to see what the first readers make of it as it is first. I might be worrying about nothing.
brownnicky has offered to read it for me. She's getting the raw version. When I get her comments I'll look at it again, do a bit more editing and ask for a few beta-readers on my flist and on rasfc.

That's the plan.
