Well, it’s always worth hoping, right?
Also, A general update of where I’m at (also posted on the journal comic page).

There was also the option of ASKING for humans to raise their kids and PAYING them for the job. But that’s crazy talk.
Paying the serfs to do a job they should thank their betters for be allowed to do at all? Sounds like that new-fangled communism-thing, m’lud.
I pointed out before that if you came to Earth and offered humanity a career snuggling puppies, you’d probably get more volunteers than there are Stribs.
I wonder if the older Stribs would have been willing to condemn the younger ones to raising the children, though.
I wonder who raised the older Stribs’ kids. It’s not like humans are necessarily the first species they’ve used as nannies. If they did use nannies, what was it about them that made the younger Stribs go hunt for different ones?
New Willoweep?! Huzzah! I look forward to my purchase. Thank you. I very much enjoyed the first.
I saw an art style I thought I recognized at the library and read Willoweep Manor in 1 sitting. I was a bit surprised that I’d not heard of it here first. Also, I want Haley to be related to the 2 related female leads in Spacetrawler.
The book was announced 05/29/19 and released 7/20/21. If it takes roughly 26 months to go from announcement to book (purely speculative, I have no idea what Christopher’s schedule is like – what with “Ursa Minor” and all), I’ll be reading the book in early August 2024.
The Stribs really don’t seem to have ANY redeeming qualities. I hate to recommend genocide, but can we maybe foist them on another universe or something?
Then that universe will come after us for doing the same thing the Stribs did with their elderly.
Then perhaps the same fate as Krikkit? Imprisoned in their own little null-space?
Maybe they taste better than Furryites? Genocide would then deprive us of those delicious Strib sandwiches!
“Are you kidding? You know what we grow up to be like!”
I’m sorry, but SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Was the one who got killed on the retirement planet the ONLY one who was against the plan?
While I’ll admit I didn’t really much care for the journal comics, I appreciate the glimpse into this chapter of your life. (Though I expect it’s at least somewhat filtered, it seems a lot less so than the usual facebook status update view you usually have of people.) I feel like I’ve learned a lot of what I “know” about people and life from fiction, which…is fictional. So it’s nice to have examples of how life actually goes sometimes.
Well, I’ll say this for the Stribs: They’re perfectly morally consistent. Parasitism is the only thing they live for. Time to pinch out the tick, scorch the chigger, and boil the lamprey.
I note with some satisfaction that Emily hasn’t moved her hands from the ship’s controls. I admit some surprise, though I shouldn’t have any, that G.O.B. combat ships use Hands On Throttle And Stick (HOTAS) for control. This could be over in minutes.
And yet… I am getting another lemonade. I can’t shake the premonition that this situation is about to get still more complicateder. No idea how, so that’s why I’m tuning in Wednesday.
