Hi there,

Thanks for writing, and writing so honestly.

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 have a feeling that I may be currently using Traveller writing as a go-to drug of escapism at present, so I get that even if I don't know your exact situation.

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 ).

:-(     (although I'm sure he's pleased!)

 

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.

That's generous... 

Again, I apologize for not finishing it.

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

... if only I didn't suck at dialogue.  And fiction generally.

But I've always promised myself if I ever sent anything serial to Jeff I would *finish* it first and *then* cut it up!

I did start something, but was so disappointed with it that I've not returned.

Am I right in thinking that writing adventures is my "easy" solution?  Do the plot and characters, events and locations and leave the narration and interaction to the players?

But all the best in any case and sounds like we should be glad the writing is no longer needed!
