It needs a LOT of TLC. I wrote it sans internet, so all of the references need fixed, and the science is - in parts - highly dubious. And, y'know, there's a million or so words, so - editing. Lots and lots and lots of editing. (I did a quick count, and there are about fifty different stories set in the same timeline)

Listen, Horsey, are you implying that we in the cantina need extra supervision? From a man in a skirt, no less?

It's getting so you can't swing a dead smibble in this place without hitting a mod...
And I never know whether to say "Congrats!" or "Condolences".... (I have some experience modding elsewhere on the intertubes.)

If you hit a mod with a dead smibble, there are horrific repercussions - and not limited to Richard Simmons avvies...

Someone hasnt annoyed enough moderators I see.
*points and laughs* Er, what do you want the cake to say? Literally that is. I'm teaching it to repeat phrases. ![]() I enjoyed a book that you, a Horror Hound, could not finish without going eek? Dire. Turn in your HH badge. Strip off your titles and throw them in the fire pit. Shame on both your houses.

Sometimes I think you don't pay attention to my linkage.
"Easy Access" works for me. And, I'm guessing, Abby...
