"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Awesomecakes! Thank you! Although - oh, nuts, it's in NeoOffice, not Word - I don't have Word for Mac. So I could maybe cut'n'paste sections into emails?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Fay, you can save NeoOffice documents as Word docs.

Getting so close. I'm guessing about 21-23 word-processor pages left in the draft. Though now it feels like that's when the real work begins.

Because books.

Hey, don't discount the first draft. That's a hell of a lot of work, right there.

Fay, I'd love to take a look!

It's a lot of work, but it feels unfit for human consumption. So many typos and bad punctuation and story/character stuff that needs to be fixed. Whole characters to rip out of the plot.

Well, typos and punctuation are easy fixes. The story/character work is harder, but I think having that foundation of the rough draft is awesome -- it gives you something to build on.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

erika, just wanted to let you know that comments should be coming later today. Sorry for the delay.

Always Anti-fascist!

Not a big deal. I've just been working on something else anyway. But I'll be glad to know what you think.ETA: Fay, I'll show you mine, if you show me yours.
