Anonymous8 months agoYou could try posting the Glossary as a separate document (like a chapter or the prologue) and update it as necessary as you go.
I love this story!! Thank you for writing and posting!!
arrowglass9 months agoI check every day now for the next episode in this superb space opera! It is a tribute to your imagination and a compelling story line! Please keep sharing with us.
Crusader2359 months agoAnother excellent post battle chapter. Five Stars! Love your going after a major news organization for their traitorous behavior, are you listening CNN, among others? Laughed at your change of "B" to Beta, had me convinced NATO changed it. After all "B" was changed to Bravo, after WWII's "Baker". Keep up the Great work, we dedicated readers appreciate your work. Semper Fi from this old Marine.
bigtddybr9 months agoAuthorSlofred - you are correct, and I know better. Don't know why I posted BETA vice BRAVO. Thank-you all for the kind words, they are appreciated. The error in submitting this chapter was mine, not Lit's. Once I properly resubmitted it, it went through quickly. I am being bombarded with plotline and other suggestions some of which I will be including in future chapters. If your suggestions are not included, it is simply that my plotline is moving in a different direction. The plotline extends through at least four chapters ahead of the one I am writing, so major changes to the same will not occur. Some minor suggestions that were or are being included are modifications to ship designs, the current police file on PanGalactic News, and the original Pisciums having two distinct societies. I would like to personally thank the many subscribers who submittec suggestions, and will in chapter 20, but so many of you have sent items as Anonymous. I'm attempting to make drawings on the ship designs, Liramor-23, and the shoulder and breast patches for the different ships and platforms, but I suck at using the art format on my computer. So many if you begged for a glossary, and now are asking me to kill the glossary...Aesop had it right, you can't please everyone. I think I will post the glossary every five chapters starting in chapter 20, so people will be able to find what they need and not be bothered by a bulky glossary every chapter. Hope that pleases most of you.
