It's so exciting to get to see your name in an actual printed book soon! (Actually "books," since you have a story in that anthology that should be coming out soonish, huh?) I can hardly wait! I'm hoping this Kickstarter makes it past that $1500 point as well, so we can get the "fairy tales and fables" anthology, as well!

Did I read an earlier draft of "Hunting Dogs?" It feels familiar, but new, all at the same time. Cute story, either way; it's hard to imagine feeling like there's no purpose in an eternal computer program, but I'm glad Sylvia found something to try, at least! And that it involved doggos! Never thought about it before, but it's funny that folks in Lagrange still eat food, when they don't have stomachs, or burn calories, and the food isn't even made of calories but data, but I guess old habits are hard to break. Man, that really would be the life! No eating, no sleeping, live forever, work on projects forever . . . Post-Self may be where Agent Doc wants to retire to if/when he leaves the PPC! AND I WANT IT TOO

—doctorlit wants it too

This here's a one-off Post-Self thing I wrote a while back (and cleaned up for posting much more recently) featuring the Scouts. People have liked it, it shouldn't need much canon context (at least in that no one from canon appears and you won't need to be deeply familiar with setting mechanics) and the main reason it's not canon-canon is a lack of time to get around to that.

So, "Hunting Dogs" wherein a person who's a dog misses the bacon lady, and someone gets sent on a big pointless quest.
