"My other pro-tolerance message is also condescending." I have read the first two chapters. I'm not sure if I find it disturbing or awesome, or awesomely disturbing.
Thinking about my novel (not the egg one, the real one), it occurred to me that one of the main characters is, essentially, Fractal. Older and that's the only real difference I can think of, aside from physical appearance and only some of that. I seem to have based a character on her a year before I met her. I love when things like that happen.
