Actually Lesley's ability to write fiction increases as parts of the
thesis become iminent :-). Displacement activity I suppose :-).
I had posted "Getting Out of the Doledrums" some time ago. It is the
most relevant (and suitably short) of what I have. I have a fair amount of
stuff written but most of it deals with the pre-history of my campaign which
means it is about as relevant to standard traveller as the Similrilion is to
the Hobbit. There is other stuff which isn't as specific which uses a
Traveller like universe as a setting (there is one grim one I like about a
ship trapped while refueling in a gas giant by a fault in their static
discharge probe).
Alternatively there is this competition we wrote back in '89. It was
100 pages long and we playtested it 11 times. We still can't get it out of
our heads! It occurs to me that a story, following the most amusing turns
of the playtesting and competition would make a humorious serial.
So people, do you want fiction on the TML?
Send me e-mail indicating "Yea" or "Nay" and, perhaps, the maximum
number of lines per bi-weekly mailing you would be willing to tolerate :-).
If I get sufficiently more Yeas than Nays I'll give it a test run. I'll talk
to James about shifting them down to the bottom of the mailing.

P.S. James has pointed out that I have been very remiss. Lesley and I got
married six months ago. Thus the mixing of surnames.
