This week is a barrel of of monkeys. I had a longer post written up, but my computer froze literally when I was about to make it, so this is the short version:

In lieu of an update to THS or my other ongoing works (which require access to my notes which are currently inaccessible), I’ve decided to work myself to death before the end of the month – I mean, create something new, based on feedback to see more of a certain character, and still giving you guys the TLA content that you voted for.

I’m liking how it’s coming out so far and I’m enjoying the interplay between the characters, so hopefully you all will as well. Thanks again for your support; it’s exactly what has helped me get replacement parts and new computers ASAP when my old stuff dies, so I can keep making content for you. Without that, I’d be up a certain creek without a paddle, so thank you all for your pledges.

I would love to see a character that is against the Compact like the Red Queen but possessing a far more sinister and radical ideology detailing post revolution conditions a potential Space Stalin if you will. I think you might have fun developing on the moral grey of TLAverse by establishing how radical alternatives to the racist hierarchical structure of The Compact worlds could potentially create equally nightmarish societies. Also flesh out the ways in which the species hierarchy and segregation advances a more uniform national identity when most organic sapients still seem fairly similar in overall psychology to humans. I still don't really grasp how the Compact has seemingly played the imperial racist game of the 19th/20th century for millennia when so many aliens seems to have about as much capacity to deviate from uniform ideology as humans do. If entire species learned of Gandhi's method of non violent resistance to empire for example, the Compact would probably reform or collapse within a century, based on what has been established so far about the government. As totalitarian as the Compact can be it seems to still uphold some concepts of bodily autonomy and civil participation as values. So if every client species learned that change might be achieved through non violent resistance I wonder how the Compact would respond, reforms or horrible atrocities?
