I've finally got a draft together for all you beta-reader types out there, but before you dig into it, here's a few things to note:

  • From the previous version, I removed Sutzir. I love the character, but nobody seemed to think he had much to add to the story.

  • I also switched the perspective from 3PO to 3PL.

  • I increased the innocence of one character and the guilt of another.

  • I changed who made Boots.

  • I've still got a bunch of comments from the previous version that I need to go through, so I will be making various minor changes to these live documents and polishing the transitions between them.

  • Please DO leave comments and/or corrections directly in the documents.

121k words, 3 parts, 43 chapters:

Limited is always better for a mystery story, I think. Not to say it's impossible, but it feels bad to feed the audience Lies By Omission just to keep them from figuring things out chapters before the protagonist does.

Google isn’t being my friend What’s 3po and 3pl short for 3rd person o??? And 3rd person l??? I’m assuming just I’m at a loss what the two words would be

3rd person omniscient vs 3rd person limited. In the limited PoV, you'll only see the story from Tori' s viewpoint whereas in 3PO, some scenes are told by different narrators.
