About that writerly itch...

I still got it, and I think I know what direction to go in to to scratch it... But I've got a Timelord ethics question, and how my storylet turns out depends a great deal on how I answer it:

What are the ethics of a Timelord going back to visit his own past? Say -- visiting a relative or a friend who died before the Timelord reached maturity (or current state of maturity), especially if it means going from the present time (when Gallifrey no longer exists) to Gallifrey's "ancient" past (when old high Gallifreyan was still the common tongue)?

You see, there was a scene I wrote at the latest Hoedown, where Eloise (the little green creature above) catches a glimpse of Florestan's writing desk... and there is an unfinished letter there.... Should Florestan finish that letter and deliver it? or destroy it?

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, the Third Annual Pro-Fun Troll Hoedown is now online, here: http://narm00.tripod.com/h3.html (Good work, Imran, if you are reading this!)

The first and second Hoedowns can be accessed here: http://www.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/~pandinac/profun/

Please comment... give me a hand, here!
