Elfearz: Welcome! What's your story like?

Morima: Ditto the above. Don't worry about sci-fi versus fantasy. Some people would quibble over a difference, but I agree with C.S. Lewis (at least about this) that science fiction is fantasy either in outer space of in the future, which are really two different kinds of unknown places of wonder, just as legitimate as a Middle Earth or fairyland.

Nar: Yes, suddenly the whole thing came into focus and I realized that I need to think in terms of Wendell and the Society VERSUS Owen and Aelde at every turn, something I got OUT of the habit of doing when advised to separate the stories (which was a mistake, even though the advice was well-meant and sympathetic).
