progress? what's this?

Chapter 11 of "Swept Away!" is rough-typed, Chapter 12 is begun, and I have reams of paper left to type up. I'm debating posting pre-beta versions, so that Eor can take his time, later, and I can sail on for the moment, since I seem to want to treat this like a NaNo right now. They'll be full of holes and errors and suck, but what do you think?

ETA: OR, here's a thought, I can post them to this fiction-writing group I just joined, in the pre-beta version, and let them take their cracks at it, too.

Oh, I didn't know you were writing something ...Victorian, by the looks of it! Will definitely investigate as soon as I have a moment (which may not be till the week-end)!

The main characters are from a far future colony which the founders tried to force into a Victorian mould. I always feel a need to apologize for the fact that it's not steampunk, because I think that's what people expect when you put 'sci-fi' and 'Victorian' together, that's why I call it Pseudo-Victorian. I love steampunk, but I don't think I could write it.
