Time to edit the *yay* out of this.

New Changeling Space Program chapter completed.

Current draft: 25,508 words.

I will spend my non-sales time this weekend at my booth at Delta H Con editing, getting viewpoints more consistent, punching up descriptions, and definitely looking for deadwood to trim.

But I don't anticipate finding much.

And once I complete this final pass, the thing will get posted.

I came very close four or five times to splitting this in two, but... well, to me each chapter isn't so much a chapter anymore as it is a sort of novella, almost a stand-alone story in its own right. And splitting this one apart felt wrong, profoundly so.

So congratulations, here comes another mega-brick of a chapter in just a few more days.

I am both excited and intimidated! :D

Twenty five thousand words. Talk about an anvil.

That's no chapter, that's a heavy bludgeoning implement.

[Latrans]

All of the yay!

Excellent!
I thought from your rant about the Changeling episode that you had abandoned this story because you now hated Changelings.

No. There were things I liked and hated about the last season finale (particularly that Chryssy's plan made no sense, and reformed changelings look awful, but the hive looked awesome), and that had that episode come out before CSP, I probably would never have written it because the ep makes the setup for the story impossible. But with the story begun, I don't intend to abandon it.
