Arlo Guthrie (referring to Reagan, but…) in his monologue intro to a song, “I think it’s great to have a sleeping president. The more he sleeps, the safer we are.”

Glad you liked my bee-person story!

But I decided long ago that I had no interest in writing about kings and thrones. Even when my stories brush up against feudal or similar societies, that's not my focus.

I avoid creating stories where a character's ancestry defines them. And I'm leery of rulers having excess power #NoKings

This mostly consisted of maps (so many maps, as the world kept becoming larger and more convoluted) and then stories my younger brother and I acted out in the basement. Not actually *written down*...
