The new version of Protective Coloration is live.
The rewrite came about when I realized that my goal of a sequel to that story and Charley and Clare needed to focus on the crew from Protective Coloration first, as there’s a year disconnect between the stories (Claire graduates the same year and Carol, Amanda and Kyle.) In going back through it I spotted a significant number of errors, but I also realized that I didn’t know a couple of the characters well enough to continue writing about them. As I found out more about them, I realized that the story needed more than just an edit to fix the flaws.
As always I appreciate feedback — good, bad or indifferent. In particular if you spot errors, please let me know.
I’d also like to give a big shout out to Lazeez for his help. Somehow, and I’m still not sure how, the process I was using to get a postable file was doubling it up, and I missed it. The submission engine, or maybe a human overseer, caught it, though, and let me know of the problem rather than posting a broken version.
