Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Jake says it's a Husky/Golden Retriever mix, but I think there's German in there. He's NAPPING at my feet now.

Ohhh puppy! The kids and I want a puppy but since we are living with/caring for my MiL we can't have anything that would trip her. Man it is at the top of the list!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want a puppy too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Luckily the two companies I may interview for are really easy to read up on. And I kinda knew about both of them beforehand anyway.

I need to beef up on the subject matter.

Oh, ACK-- the stupid, it BURNS...

While I agree that authors don’t ‘owe’ readers anything, I think authors ought to be doing their darnedest to deliver the goods the best they can in the most timely manner possible and with a smile on their faces and gratitude in their hearts that readers actually want to spend their hard-earned money on their books, that they love those stories so much that they’re upset when someone insults them and can’t wait for the next book to come out. And a fan re-writing a book, this is the height of flattery! Remember, *readers pay the bills.* It’s in the authors’ own best interests to at least present an extremely grateful attitude.
