also, some not so subtle. she turns to ice in that same episode when Holden tries to build some rapport with her. Really, a whole lot of Drummer's actions look different if you factor in she might be secretly in love with Nagata. I think I might actually read the books now to see if that's explored more deeply. That or take up writing a fanfic π
@izaya I probably will eventually. I'm borderline obsessed with the show. The recent civilian-crewed commercial rocket launches have had me thinking about our possible futures as a space-faring civilization. Stories like The Expanse and Planetes provide some framework to compare against, even if they're friction.
@izaya Sounds cool. Thanks!
Do you plan to sell your writing or is it a hobby?
@izaya aren't the entries out of order? I'd like to read the story when it's fleshed out more...or maybe you already have more?
@izaya Cool. Most of writing is rewriting. I don't think I could do that though: I'd get depressed, distracted, and bored if I didn't put my drafts out there, just to keep the story going and get feedback. That's how I am with code anyway: so many dead-end Git branches that'll never see the light of day.
@izaya sure. If you do though, I'll probably be more like "Good stuff! Keep it going". Safe and useless. I tried to critique someone's writing once and got my head bit off by the writer and a booster, so I'm pretty reserved now.
I do like the snippets you've got on the site now though. Also, I can tell you actually know some of this tech first-hand. It'll be cool to see how you balance technical detail with keeping things engaging for the uninitiated.
@izaya how does chip design factor into the story? does it drive a major plot point? If it's worth the pay-off in terms of understanding the characters' behavior, I think I wouldn't mind the wonky stuff.
@izaya π€·ββοΈ well, can't say without reading it, but I'll give my honest opinion if you want when you post it
@izaya yeah, that's what I generally see: some blurb like, "story starts --->HERE"
