I stopped 'Cultural Exchange' because I no longer needed to write it to keep my sanity. Many bad things occurred over that time period and I used that project as a way of getting my emotions out in a non-destructive fashion. I apologize for not finishing it. As I look back at it, I can see how the plotline was spinning out of control just as my own sanity was spinning out of control. Life is better now, but I've lost interest in Traveller for the most part over the years of canon-minutia and the same arguments/discussions over and over again ad naseum. I gave most everything I had away concerning Traveller to some guy in the military (APO address, iirc ).

I renounce all rights to 'Cultural Exchange' and put it in public domain if someone else ever wants to finish it, otherwise feel free to delete it.

Again, I apologize for not finishing it.

Just as well..... I suck at dialogue anyways.

Well, that is a common problem with stories on the net. Too many things on the net are dead, even if they started out quite fantastic. In proper publishing as well, but there authors have money to keep themselves motivated.

It's a common problem, even when there IS money for motivation. Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls because he lost interest in writing any more Holmes stories . . . only to later bring him back when the outcry (and the money) became overwhelming.
