In the link at the bottom you'll find a picture than shocked the hell out of me.

You see, I started writing before I had regular access to a computer that could download pictures of any size reliably. Thom and Madoc, as characters, were conceived well before I could possibly have laid eyes on the photo past that link down there in the white box.

Except for the fact that I never managed to get Thom and Madoc naked together on the same horse, and except for the fact that these models' builds are too similar, these two could be Thom and Madoc. They're even sitting on the right colour horse, in the proper order, and with their hair styles and length the way I described. It's eerie.

Of course, it could all just be coincidence....

If you have the copyright on that picture, let me know, and I'll take it down, but be gentle. It's the only such pic I've taken from the 'net and used on the site, and from a source suggesting it was in the "public domain".
