30-A: Author's Note

When I started this blog a few years ago my goal was to test out some ideas I had about science fiction. These ideas included the structure of the 10 Fleets, xenophobia, economic problems with internal and external concerns, population growth, freedom, and others. I was also getting sick of reading other people's works and finding one of "my" ideas. Not only an experiment, then; this blog is also a record of my ideas so I can claim dibs on the cool stuff.

As a student in college, my time became tighter and tighter so I figured the experiment was over. I was pounding out over 4,000 words a week in essays so there wasn't much left afterwards. I stopped posting what I've already written. I stopped writing. Then something strange happened...

People started reading Scifi Blog: Fleet Commander. People are actually reading my stuff!

So I'm going to post what I've already written. I also need to go back and read the blog because I had forgotten so much. Did I ever describe Marie's hair? Did I introduce Bellamy yet? And just where the heck did Toasty leave off?

I hope people continue to read, leave comments, and email me. A little encouragement goes a long way. I also want to know about other blogfic (blog fiction) out there. Tell me about yours or someone else's.
