Sorry 'bout that. Bad spellin is probably why I went into the mercenary trade, instead of becoming a Corporate raider

But seriously, I'm down with whatever you'd prefer. All it takes is changing a letter in the script file for the ship. No problem.

I know what you mean about the interjections. I think it will end up much like a novel written by Robert Jordan or Steven Erikson... every chapter is told from a different point of view, switching characters even in the middle of a chapter when it works. It adds a nice twist to the flow... any reader who's really interested what Antar is up to (side-plots and what not) will have to read the next 5 chapters before being able to pick up with where your last one left it. The suspense!

I'm also hoping you balanced-headed species are firm in your beliefs... Scurvy is a disease and I intend for my character to live up to his namesake.

You're gonna make me bowlegged if I don't eat my fruits and veggies?

edit: there's that pesky spelling problem again...

Now that's just WRONG! How am I suppose to eat snakes and stuff without my teeth? Oh, the INHUMANITY!

You know us diseases just can't win. What if I were cancer? Or tuberculosis? They're not fair or humane! Why do I have to be?

Being a Glossary of Terms Useful in Critiquing Science Fiction by David Smith

Hi All!

I hope everyone will take a moment and check out the above link.

I think it will be really helpful for everyone entering into the Space Opera.

It’s not available for cut paste or I’d a stuck it up here.

Truly a goldmine of information!

Enjoy and Have fun!

peace

EEEW! Glad I'm not a squeamish sort, but I bet I drink my coffee BLACK for a few days!

I'd vote to keep it. Sets a dark stage for the opera, though, doesn't it?
