short story project so far

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The novels are discussed with fairly short essays and have some of my
best observations - latro as ares, Skip as sleeper assassin, Number
Five as the only human, Marsch as shadow child, Typhon as Silk's
father, Ben Free as America, etc. I would want it to be a holistic
kind of work.  That would probably only add maybe 150 pages. Maybe
200.
