dtmI was thinking I needed something longer than a facebook status update, but shorter than a blog post.
But then it occurred to me that there's no real minimum length on blog/lj posts, so:
In Larry Niven's compilation N-Space, he includes a story outline and notes for a story he never wrote because he happened on the idea that became Ringworld instead. Anyway, these notes were for a final story to end his Known Space universe by introducing a gigantic game-changing conspiracy that basically demanded everything then come crashing down in one gigantic war. Basically, it was a way to go out with a bang.
I never saw the Star Trek movie that came out this past summer in theaters, but received it on DVD for my birthday a few weeks ago, and just finished watching it. It feels very similar, especially with the musical cues of the TOS music in the closing credits.
