A word about the TV Tropes page. · 4:27pm May 23rd, 2020
One of my quarantine activites has been expanding the TV Tropes page for CSP and the Maretian:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/ChangelingSpaceProgramAndTheMaretian
Before now I've kept my additions light, because I still regard making a Tropes page for your own work as a symptom of narcissism. If your work merits it, someone else will get it started. But... well... I'd noticed there were a lot of moments that got a LOT of response from you readers, but hadn't made it into the various pages in the above link. So I went through the comments for CSP and then Maretian, and any "I thought this line was good" that got a lot of thumbs-up, or which got referred to in multiple comments, got put in. (And I did have to grit my teeth about a lot of moments I personally loved which didn't get overt mention- with only a couple of exceptions those did NOT go in.)
I could have put in about a dozen entries for a Heartwarming Moments sub-page, but I hadn't seeded one of those yet, and now that I've finished the pass I don't feel like starting over again to do it.
So I'm calling your attention to this: if there's some clever line or moment or something you think is good enough or important enough to get put in the Tropes page, but which I didn't add, it's your job now. That includes making a Heartwarming page and populating it.
(At one point I actually made a list of the Maretian castaways to expand the Characters page... and lost it. And don't feel like remaking it. So, more stuff you readers can do!)
Quick streaming note: more X-Com tonight beginning at 7 Central, and Monday we go back to KSP Hard Mode and FINALLY execute our fly-by (possibly orbit) of Eve!
Duly noted!
