Did you know that 19 is one
less than 20? This is something I discovered today! If you were looking at the website earlier you may have seen a news post about this as yet nonexistent page, which was in fact supposed to be about page 19. Which was'nt up yet. The website is suppsoed to let me time-delay and queue news posts, but for some reason it decided not to queue that one at all and just throw it up on the website. I have no idea why, nor do I know why I thought we were at page 20.
So
here's page 19. As you might have read earlier before I deleted the post, this page ahd be worried for a time last night because it contains a line of dialogue lifted almost word-for-word from a Series V episode of
Red Dwarf. This was done as a sort of tip-of-the-hat, an
homage if you will, to the show. It's a fantastic science fiction show and a cracking good comedy, not to mention a huge influence on me as a writer.
But! I was concerned that people may not see it as the homage that it is. I was worried people would assume I was just
ripping Misters Grant and Naylor. I considered changing the line, but anything I'd have written would have been a pale immitation of the line already there. So I've kept it in. I hope my fellow
Red Dwarf fans see it in the manner in which it was intended.
Enjoy!
