"Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, it's essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all." - Stargate SG-1 Season 10, "200"

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - Arthur C. Clarke

"I cannot live without books." - Thomas Jefferson

"They are of the People, and return again to mix with the People, having no more durable preeminence than the different Grains of Sand in an Hourglass. Such an Assembly cannot easily become dangerous to Liberty. They are the Servants of the People, sent together to do the People's Business, and promote the public Welfare; their Powers must be sufficient, or their Duties cannot be performed. They have no profitable Appointments, but a mere Payment of daily Wages, such as are scarcely equivalent to their Expences; so that, having no Chance for great Places, and enormous Salaries or Pensions, as in some Countries, there is no triguing or bribing for Elections." - Benjamin Franklin, letter to George Whatley, May 23, 1785

"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

Those Damn Kids! is now finished. Sort-of. I've written a final chapter, but I intend to rewrite it. I'll be posting the new versions of the chapters on AO3 and only replace the chapters here on ff. net once I've finished the re-write. Given the almost 8 years since I published the first chapter until now, I've gained quite a bit of perspective I didn't have when I was 23.

If you couldn't tell, my favorite pairings are US/UK and US/Canada. I'm trying to branch out more, but I feel more comfortable writing America than anyone else (less chance of offending people from other countries, and I don't really care if I offend other Americans). For some reason, lately Canada is the pov I seem to automatically default to. I think it's because I can play the rational observer in a chaotic atmosphere which is actually quite fun.
