I see that Greg has started a lot of things, and then dropped them. Knowing
how Greg sees things, I'd say he dropped most of those things not because
they are rubbish but because he didn't see a way to finish them according to the
quality he wanted, and because he doesn't have the time. I have seen enuf
Greg rubbish to know that there is a bit of it, so I'm not trying to say he
is a great genius and that anyone who isn't fascinated by his writing is an
idiot. He said he stopped writing Harmast's Saga because he didn't see where
it was going. I didn't find Harmast's Saga to be rubbish, but haven't read
much of it.
The writing of his I find good is the Entekosiad and "The Huntress"
in the Convulsion 3D booklet.
"Unpublished" doesn't have any other connotations for me, but I'm just an
illiterate Praxian. How about shortening the designation to "unpubs"? "From
Greg's files" also seems useful to me.
I'm Daniel Fahey and that's my opinion. Now where was that mead bottle?
