Taken from pretty much everybody:

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.

An oldie but a goodie

"Pieces." (Wow, I still love that story.)

Aww! ^__^ "Pieces" is still one of my babies.

One of my betas said that Egon's scientific journals weren't detailed enough to be convincing, and if I was writing it now, I'd totally stuff in more technobabble. It's not crucial to the story, but the lack annoys me when I reread it now.

I've never been how much sense can be made in the story about the technobabble conceit the narrative is based on - the idea is, Egon & Ray have made this device (the transchronovisuoscope!) that can look at objects in other universes/timelines, extrapolating from objects in this one. So if you put a pencil into it, you can see what the pencil looks like in parallel timelines, whether it's shorter or been broken or whatever. So they've been putting in their journals and notebooks to see what's been written in them in the other timeline.

I've always wanted to write an original scifi story with a similar plotline, but I've never worked out the kinks...

I really should read this even though I never watched RGB. I think I know enough about the characters to enjoy your stories about them, and Ro-Anshi has always told me this is one of her favorite stories.

I'm enjoying reading your comments on this meme.
