a little NFE commentary

[rthstewart]

So, let’s see.  I realized I should probably put up a few notes about my NFE’s.  I had a terrible time with posting and I’ve had to do a lot of RL writing.  But it's done and up and one part of it in particular, Katyn, deserves special discussion.

I really hope Katyn makes it to TSG canon. It flows very well with the thoughts in TQSiT regarding the Holocaust, and it seems in keeping with Edmund that he would find a way to get himself to Katyn and determine the truth.

The line in HHB is crucial. It's hard to break out of the tropes and see how a character can be defined by conversion and redemption, but I really love how you've done it with Edmund. He's a fascinating, inspiring character. "This empathy/grace allows him to see the very worst that humanity can do, fairly adjudge the most vile crime and craven murderer, and still respond with compassion and forgiveness and offer the possibility of redemption." That's very Christlike.

Heh heh, Turkish Delight. Doing that from Morgan's perspective *would* help avoid the navel-gazing. (Speaking of Morgan, I just saw a sign for Morgan Stanley the other day.)

Hmm. You know, I'd completely forgotten about it, but I think "Go to a nude beach" used to be on my bucket list. I think it *does* sound like fun. And then, yes, the mermaids didn't wear seashells. (Why do mermaids wear seashells? Because B-shells are too small.)

Ah, worldbuilding.

There's a whole joke here size B shells and size C shells.
