Uhhhh... No. No, I don't think I did. 'course, there *is* a sign at the
gate stating: "Here be Dragons", or something like that. (and at the
moment of writing that, I saw the gate in wrought iron... I saw the
opening scene of 'Citizen Kane'! with the sign a crude wooden affair
hanging loosely by a couple of twists of rusting barbed wire, painted in
block letters in what appears to be blood, a la "The Shining".) I figure
that's enough warning: after that you're on your own, and have to pay
attention.

Thank you. I think you sent it to me before, actually. I haven't
forgotten. I have one more major move to make (you get one guess where
), and then I hope to settle down and concentrate on this a bit more.
I am hoping that by then, enough time will have passed since the
NeuNeutopian war and the Tea Party/Poly's Porch events, that it will be
possible to see them more clearly -- I, for one, am curious to see what
happened/is happening... if anything.

I don't know how you feel about it, Lisa, but I wonder if enough new folks
have joined alt.cyberpunk since this past summer to warrant a general
posting of that site? Those events are referred to often enough that it
might be good to at least skim through the writing, to get up to speed. I
think it's great that you took the time to archive that material. I have
tons, too, and I'm sure that a lot of others saved it, as well. (Whatever
happened to the Archive idea Nesta? Maybe we should be thinking about
this with a little concerted effort?)

Droids are like that.

That "Gargoyle's Feast" is a *classic*. Just awesome. If I hadn't been
in the middle of moving cross country then, I could have replied...
Sourcerer is planning on re-posting it every Halloween, BTW.

And we wonder why people seem so *nervous* when they first show up at the
gate. @:)

Poly, who can't resist roofs, labors busily away in a workshed out back,
extracting Hemlock oil for Sym, who's just as sweet as can be. Really.
But Treats don't hurt, either... Burned in a pipe on a piece of rolling
paper, it's one of his favorite vices... He especially enjoys smoking it
and crouching on the roof in the snow, pretending to be made of stone,
but moving so fast all the snowflakes seem to stand still. He looks at
them as they hover there, glittering in the night, and they really *are*
all different... and shine with a light all their own...
