ROFL, talk about FAIL!
-
In my case, with Guardians, I'm being very up-front about the fact of the surprise, but hiding the actual details. By now every single one of my readers knows that 'something' is majorly wrong about his past, but they have no clue what it is. Some of the most intelligent and perceptive readers may have made a few connections, but those connections are actually deliberately deceptive on my part.

I 'wasted' a trip to the financial aid office (got a lot of good writing done on the way ) only to discover my worry about disbursement dates was ill-founded. While the financial aid corrections won't make this disbursement (Monday the 17th), it turns out the next one is on the 26th, not the end of next month. While not ideal, I'll still be able to use the funds 'in time'.

I suspect they meant winter olympics, not just winter

What Myr said. I think I can actually get access to it through the school, once school starts. But I'm not 100% sure, and until they process the accounts (again... every semester the same game... ./sigh) I can't check.

Hey, stop stealing my story points! (Brought up in my story, Guardians, and I've dug the point deeper than most people will know for a while, because one 'critical' point is still hidden)

Depending on finances, same here.

I almost have to write in third person; I just can't 'do' first.

Lets hope so...

Um, I think you missed my point. I completely agree with investigating them, I just don't agree with doing it to 'get' them. Simply put, two ships were nearly destroyed, one of them a large, powerful vessel whose importance would match a modern carrier or battleship. You should expect everyone to look at every aspect of how it happened, and how it was prevented. Both to learn, and to assign blame if any should be. Thousands of lives were nearly lost, with God only knows how many more endagered. They need to poke it all apart.

Second time they've been involved in something major, and they did some seriously off-the-wall thinking on what was very close to being a military disaster. I'd strongly expect a board of inquiry of some sort to sit on the crews of all ships involved -- not because they did anything wrong (at least not in a criminal or liability sense), but rather to dissect what could have been done, should have been done, etc etc. Besides, ramming shuttles into enemy ships? Not a tactic I'd like to see used often!

I just hope he doesn't 'flirt' with heat stroke! Heat illness is serious stuff! And the ships are kept at 21? That's a bare 70 degress... that's cold! (OK, so my hot-dwelling opinions are coming into play... and the standard starfleet uniform is long sleeves, not shorts and a t-shirt...)

Well, I caught up on my reading today. Great chapter, and lovely writing. And poor poor lady, to find out about her son's persuasion like that; Ryan is in some major doo-doo for that mistake!

I think that's somewhere between masturabation, and really, really weird.

One would think the reduced fertility would be desireable in an era when the world's population is reaching the point where 'crowding' is becoming a global condition

Another chapter is up, please feel free to discuss and otherwise give me that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing people read it. I've got another chapter to go, and then I'll have to wait for CastleRoland updates before I can post more

Well, I knew about the first part, but I didn't realize that he lost his powers as a result (Edit: Actually, I think I remember a scene where he didn't understand parseltoungue anymore at the end, it's just been so long since I last read the book... I wish it were out in e-book format, I really do!)
