During one of my periodic attempts to reduce the number of files on my computer, I ran across a little story that I wrote over 20 years ago, but never published. Guess what? You get to read it (if you want to)!
I tagged it as science fiction, but it's connection with that genre is only because of the environments occupied by the characters. It's actually more of a soap opera, but set in worlds other than Earth, and the characters have many of the same experiences and issues that most fiction involving human beings have.
I hope you enjoy the story, and maybe editing it will let me get past my writing lethargy. I have one project, a fantasy universe, for which I have already posted an essay, and I'm thinking that if this story does well, I might be inspired to expand on the fantasy.
QM
P.S. - I know that somebody else out there is now using "QM" as their pen name, but I have been using it as my signature on correspondence related to my stories, on this and other sites, for more years than I care to enumerate. If it bothers you, just ignore my signature line.
On a whim, I went to the internet archive this morning, looking for the archived pages from the defunct asstr.org website. I've been there many times before, and know that there were literally thousands of pages archived there, but the response I got this morning was "Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.", with no further explanation. So far, searching the World Wide Web has yielded no clue about the reason(s). Could this be just another case of censorship?
