Alpha readers rock. At least mine do. And with 50% of the precincts readers reporting, I think I don't have to throw myself or the book out the window. Or run off and become an anchoress. Or whatever. I'm still not working on revisions to it (The Grey Road revisions are coming along, though) -- I'm going to wait until I hear from the other two or else until the spirit moves me -- but I have stuff to chew over, and that's good.

There's something that's going to get more background exposition in the next draft of TN no matter what you all say, but now I'm curious, and I like polls:

Poll #487229 TN material question 3
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 67

How much does the phrase "Bletchley Park" mean to you?

I could bore all of you for hours talking about it in great detail. Just call me "Jabba the Hut 6." Hahahaha. Ahem.

I know a fair amount about what went on there in general but no specifics
22(32.8%)
I have a vague notion of what it was, but it's extremely vague

I dunno...do they have monkeybars? Because monkeybars are good at a park.

I don't even like monkeybars.

Also, a non-poll question for those of you who have read Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books and also seen the movie "Master and Commander": should I see it? Is it worth my time? And if so, should I wait until after a certain point in the series or just see it at my convenience?
