Stand at Carpo (Revised)

[Ace009]

Hm. That helps a bit - but I'm not sure it's the best approach to have a short story with so many footnotes or a technical glossary that is 20% of the entire combined length.

Hard SF stories do sometimes come with glossaries and technical appendices and such. But I've only every seen them in full length novels - maybe a novella (but that's rare).

I'd suggest that it would still work better to try to get work in as many definitions and such into the story itself - particularly if you're aiming for this to be published in something like Analog.

My 2c worth,

Oh. Noted. And I actually fixed a few errors in there when I placed the revised version in here, all minor.
