1) Stupid typo correction: 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence, is missing a "doesn't" before "ruin everything." Argh.
2) Sometimes I'm fairly self-aware. Sometimes I'm smart like rock. I typed the above, shut my computer down so I could acutally eat during my nominal "lunch" break, and about halfway through my burrito realized...
The Simon/Aral story I'm working on has about a 3/4 overlap with the Lewis/Hathaway story I described, after accounting for genre and world differences. I've moved S/A...far enough away from the blast zone of my own history to keep it from skewing the story, but...apparently "Some things can't work out, and you find the way to keep on going" is one of the stories I tell. Oh. Thank you, brain. Could you have waited until my life settled down a bit before springing that gem on me?)
