   I tend to know why something is off base, but it still puts my mind in   
   the story. Thus any comments are welcome. (Well, maybe not 'this is   
   crap, go away'. :) )   
      
   I wonder if people are already bored with my (admittedly a bit large)   
   rambling in the other post. ;P

   I'd like to ask a reader, but for that I'd need a beta-reader.   
      
   Friend on Steam actually read the two big things, and commented on the   
   ME, didn't get round to comment on the S&E, too busy.   
      
   She said I should publish the ME. Even if I wanted to (if I got money   
   for it), I don't think I'd even be able to find out how exactly, and   
   then do all that work.   
      
   (I'm by now pensioned early, for health reasons.)   
      
   Maybe if Steam ever decides to add books. I know that place. But I would   
   surely get a headache even trying to find out how to publish something   
   on it.
