After the contributions of my editor Longshot Chapter 2 has been updated and reposted. Thankfully, the errors found so far are relatively few and small, but no less irksome for that. I'm very grateful to Yellow Peril for his corrections and feedback.
Over the past few months I've been rewriting previously published chapters in small ways, mostly to improve the narrative flow of the story to come. While these changes have not altered the central plot, readers of the original manuscript may want to take the time to peruse chapters as they're re-posted.
One unique aspect of Longshot's culture is that it is entirely agnostic. Askr and his family have no religion, do not worship the higher powers of their small world (Ship and the vanished Founders), and are devoid of any concept of blasphemy. At a practical level this means that I cannot use religious references in dialogue, not even the most casual "God", which I find an interesting challenge.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily imply that Longshot's culture will remain secular in the centuries to come...
