"Brr."
 
   Earlier this evening I dipped a toe into the very early part of the Exile for the first time in a few years. Man, it's bleak and cold in there. There was really just nothing fun at all about the last decade of the 23rd century.

   I'd assume life would be one big party for GENOM employees. Well, the higher-up ones, anyway.

Heh, not the one in the little tidbit I found myself tinkering with earlier.

   So had I. In the manner of disaster capitalism, the high-up GENOM wallahs'd have a much better time of it than most other people, which led them to believe that everyone -else- was as well. Which of course meant that they let GENOM do whatever the hell it liked...

But I'm engaging in ramblefail. Again.

Hmm... after some detailed searchings, I came up with this chapter here. Hope it works out...

   The whole point of the coldness of this era is that it makes the moments of light and warmth stand out so much more.

So go forth, to the deepest, darkest parts of Exile, and light a candle there. For us, but mostly for your characters. They need it.

Yeah. And there aren't any of those in the piece I did yesterday, which is why, upon further review, I've decided to put it carefully in a can and bury it. I'd happily have posted it, even been a bit proud of it, 15 years ago(!), but I'd like to think things have moved on a little bit from the straight revenge-for-its-own-sake vignette since then.

   You could always release it for a month or so, retract it and re-release an infinitely better 6 parter.

Depends on what the point is. If you put it together without some sort of tie-in to "current" events, then yes. OTOH, if it's the first half of a pair of stories, where the darkness of if the first story sets up the counterpoint of how things have changed in the second, then it might be worth it. Perhaps there's some part of the story you just wrote that will show its worth further down the line, if not on its own then as part of a bigger story. Don't release it if you don't think it's up to snuff, but don't bury it too deeply either - you just might need it later :)

P.S. One final thought that just came to me - perhaps the whole point of writing it was to get it out of your system, and help you move on to other stuff that you do feel is up to your current standards...
