Second Draft Done and Seismic Semester Cut Jokes
So, that's wrapped up! In fact it's so wrapped up, that I'm not going to bother with a subtraction edit. I already cut what I'm going to cut. I mean, might be a sentence here or there, but nothing huge. Despite the length, I feel I was actually really disciplined when it came to stream of conscious and big huge asides this go around. Probably cuz every word I wrote hurt!

“Poug turned to look at me with his most serious expression yet. “Tell me . . . Robb Stark avenges the death of his father, yes? The tyrant king Joffery is slain? The beautiful Sansa is rescued unmolested?” “Oh,” I said, realizing I had Season One of Game of Thrones on the phone. Oh, I thought as I remembered how fucked up that show was. How do you break that to someone? It was Santa Ain’t Real kind of revelation. You lie, that’s what you do. Even if you suck at lying. “Sure . . . humans are known for their happy endings. We just . . . love them.” “Good!” Poug proclaimed in joy, “As it should be!”

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”

Thank you for the friend invite. We have many influences in common. I grew up on Star Wars too, and Frank Herbert is a big inspiration for me. I always visited Fresno a couple times for my job. The organization's headquarters was there, but I lived in Chico. We Chico employees always dreaded anything that would take us to Fresno. There's lots of nice people there, but I suppose you are right about the evil vortex thing. It's not the place that inspired any California Dreamin'. It's very close to the majesty of Yosemite though.
Great description - I was thoroughly amused!I've never been to Fresno but I assure you that there are many evil vortexes out there that behave similarly.
