Guys, he's lying, he doesn't need your emails, he just doesn't like you.

I know, he's mean.
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

I've been reworking the most complex, irritating scene in the story. Nobody's mentioned getting hung up on it yet, but guh, the character motivations are so...tricksy.

Just finished reading.

Good story, and I think that
Spoiler:
describing the general gist of it as a broad-spectrum mind**** would not be inaccurate. Very interesting thoughts on some of the issues that could be raised by transhuman existence, and the nature of memory and sanity.
"I have approximate knowledge of many things."

You've got it hidden.

 
Re: A new science fiction magnum opus by GENERAL BATTUTA
One issue that I've had with this sort of thing, namely the
Spoiler:
"we had to [REDACTED], but you agreed and gave authorization for it" theme, is that it would solve a lot of problems if they would just tell the poor guys when they woke up, instead of trying to hide it. Did you give a reason for that in the story and I missed it?

Re: A new science fiction magnum opus by GENERAL BATTUTA
The reason is sort of implied, and I definitely had something in mind.

But it's also something I'm still playing with. I could in fact cut that whole plot point (and suggest the process was involuntary) without significantly changing the story.

One major problem I have is that I really really do not wamt the word count to grow further. It's already way too long.

Battuta, I love you. So very, very, much. Would you like the donation to the GB Fund in cash or credit?

5 stars.

I'll probably come back to this thread again when spoilers are discussed more openly. I mean, there are spoiler tags, but then people will read them anyways and ruin the story.

Edit: Is it okay if I pass this on to a couple of my best buds to read? If it's okay, I could just forward my copy over, or I could have them give you their emails.
