The Wordsmith's Forge

>> Ha! you did think it out! but t'weren't important to the *mood* of the story; don't blame you for leaving it out... <<

It's kind of an easteregg for the deep readers: the fact that Kay knows things like "Tim has a hydrostatic skeleton" implies a thorough conversation that would logically have included smaller details. I always have to choose what to include and what to leave out, but I try to put in enough concrete details to suggest the boundaries.

>> Yep, Jimbo would've definitely done that, and Scotty would've had to technobabble a bit of transporter hi-zootery to extract him... *sigh* Banned from Argo again... :) <<

I love that song.

One thing I aim for in this series is a higher-than-Treknobabble level of science. Yes, I bend the rules a little to reach a fun flavor of science fiction. But I also go out looking for actual bits of science that I can include, because those details and vocabulary words help carry the weight of the made-up stuff.

>> And tomorrow I'll have time enough to look at bingo cards... because, more, please? :) <<

Okay, great. Kink theme is still open over at crowdfunding although nobody's left any prompts yet. I do have the next poem written, and that will go up presently.
