Interesting. You seem to be trying to appeal to a certain crowd with your site's contents though, which is fine, but it looks like you're trying to make the book sound like it's good for all people. And you are awfully vague... E-book is $4.95, hmm? I guess that's better than $15. (That's not as uncommon as you'd think). And your publisher looks like the type that'd have lots of people. Give them a break, even if they are lousy.

Probably right... but it is taking a while. Do the big publishers take this long? How do you pronounce "Seva"?

"Sayva", like "Sega" with a v.
Yes... yes you are correct. I can still complain though. ^_^.

Heh. Thank you all. It's not exactly the best thing in the world (Or the best I've done by any means). People have a tendency to say good things about anything I've written If I can hear them. ^_^. It is officialy the nineteenth of april. We first checked in with the publisher Dec 24, 2003. I believe they said 12 to 16 weeks. So they have five days. Until then, the E-book is available to anybody that wants to save paper. Heh... silly me...

Heh. I can understand that. I just realized that when the E-book became available, we weren't told about it... we just had to look and see. Meep, I guess I should just keep a lookout for it on their site. *sigh* at least they've done something. Oh... and I will be gone for the next few days. My parents are forcing me to go to Disney World! Feh! Can you believe that! >.< *sigh*... It's not my fault. i've tried countless times to get them to let me stay home. Oh well. We're supposed to go to Universal as well; maybe I can get in contact with someone that could help me get the movie produced. >.< Oh well... Have fun.

Wouldn't we all. But then again, if the site here were ever to get big, vacations could cause a backup.

Excellent. I'm going to have many things to say I'd guess, but they're better saved until it gets going a little more. Be assured that something's going to happen though.

Yay! ... Hehehe... Looking back, I see many many plot holes in the first one. Almost as many as Starwars. ... I'm finding ways to fill them in though. I'm likelyh to forget all of them though... I've already forgotten a lot of what I wanted to add to the second book.

they aren't considered holes if they're only in the first one, since they leave questions to answer in the second and third. The thing is that the first here appears to be primarily an intro to the characters and society, and yet the societal part of it remains very unexplained. It seems like an interesting culture though, and the fact that the planet has more than one planetary culture makes it all the more convincing. Still, I'd like to learn more about how the major cultures there work.

Ah... yes yes... and I will try to go more in depth with those in the sequels, though there are some points I'd rather not go into too much detail on (And hey, maybe it's something Earthlings can't fathom yet. ). Due to the nature of the second part, I'm not so sure I'll be able to describe much of the cultures and societies in it... but the third will definitely elaborate on them. If you have any specific questions then I'll try to answer them (or think of the answers if they don't already exist...). Until then... use your imagination! It's there for a reason. ^_^

O.K. The attendants, I'm assuming they're there to oversee the equipment and things that the computerized stuff can't do. But what's their reasoning? What is the insentive?

Well, I can't exactly explain in full (Hmm. I'm not entirely sure), but mostly... Well, there are people that do things for the love of it (I think most artists, game designers, writers, Etc fall into this category). Of course, sitting at a desk all day and not really doing anything... well, that might stem from "luxury". The whole idea of luxury as we know it isn't really in play on Seva all that much, though they don't just give everything away. Particularly, things that aren't needed. The things that people don't really need are usually kind of underplayed; advertising isn't real big. On the other hand, there are some things that are useful as well as nice, such as personal vehicles. Those of us that have read the book (About... 0.000001% of the earth's population) have a slight idea of how transportation works for the most parton Seva. Things such as personal spacecraft are not entirely free, but do not appear as objects of wealth. There is nothing that anyone can't acquire somehow or another, so greed "I want more thanyou!" is far more ridiculous. I'll explain more about this in the sequels... and maybe by then I'll have a more firm explanation ready on why the desk people choose to be there.
(No recorded incidents. Hahaha. Tell me what the keyword is. But generally speaking, the statement is rather accurate.)

*wants to notice reply less than a week after it is posted* Eh, I think I want to get the first book of Hetra (wwhich will probably be renamed thanks to all of the Google stuff... ) worked on this summer. I should do that now. Do you really want the sequel? Huh? Well then... I'll... urm... start a thread for it? Though I don't know what I'll put there... you think of something! . I'm still logged in right? Well I'm pretty bored today... improved the TAG a little, but just attack things.
