Here's where I am on my epic fantasy romance draft: it's officially the longest thing I've ever written!
Secondary characters waiting for the author to write their stories.
(aka Neapolitan Beauties, by Vittorio Matteo Corcos, 1885)

DEVOTION
There once was a fellow most kind,
Who, when loving, went at it quite blind.
He said, "That's all right,"
But she's so out of sight
That I can't keep her out of my mind!"
From "The limerick up to date book," 1903, by Ethel Watts Mumford Grant

"Her book ended on a cliff-hanger."
(aka Hypnotic séance, by Swedish artist Richard Bergh, 1887)

A TRIBUTE TO HER JUDGMENT
ADA: "Why should you think that I will ever be willing to marry you?"
