Hey, if I know you from real life (ie from Quark or we’re friends in person in some other way) and you want to read what I’ve got so far, shoot me an email or a comment on this post, and I’ll send you what I’ve got! The Lost Colony is currently at about 36,600 words, and if you’ve got the stomach for it, I’d love for you to read it and just give me your general impressions so far! I’m not going to be making any major revisions yet, but I really do love sharing what I write with people, so if you would like a copy, by all means I’ll send you one!
In fact, I probably am a little bit too eager to share my stories. I remember sharing The Clearest Vision with a few casual friends and acquaintances before I edited it to tone down the more controversial stuff. It made things slightly weird in those relationships. Yeah. I definitely wasn’t expecting the two page letter questioning my priesthood worthiness (but then again, that was more psycho on her part than on mine).
Hence, it’s probably safer to ask for people to come to me than for me to go out to everybody I know. So yeah, if you want a copy, and you’re a good enough friend that I know you won’t do something stupid like plagiarize me, let me know! I would be very interested to get some initial impressions!
